Boilerplate
VisualGIG is cue pads for the stage. It gives performers, worship teams and event operators a grid of pads they can hit under stage lighting, fired from the iPhone, the Apple Watch or any MIDI controller, and a locked Live mode designed so a stray touch cannot interrupt the show.
Longer: VisualGIG puts your show’s audio on a grid of pads you can read at a glance and hit without looking. Build a set for each gig, drop in your own WAV, AIFF, MP3 or M4A files, name and colour each pad, then switch to Live mode — a locked performance view with nothing editable, one large stop control, and a deliberate hold gesture to leave. PRO adds the Apple Watch remote and firing from any USB or Bluetooth MIDI controller. Everything stays on your device.
Logos
Keep clear space on all sides equal to the height of the mark, and scale proportionally. Do not recolour the accent stroke, set “VG” in a typeface as a substitute, or add effects.
