Shown inside a browser frame, the way a visitor will see it: The proven page structure — hero, how it works, gig worker directory — with the hero set on the brand kit’s golden-hour Big Bear Lake scene. The hero now carries the finished primary lockup itself — the approved logo file: the Guild Ring emblem over its solid Pine ribbon band carrying “GIGA BEARS,” “Big Bear’s Gig Worker Marketplace,” “Local hands. Every service.” and the communities, placed centered at its natural proportions — the round emblem stays round — at a contained size that sits clean on a desktop screen and on a phone alike. The site footer carries “Powered by GigaSphere OS.”

Until now, Big Bear had no one place to find every local service — a handyman, a cleaner, a driver, a guide — without word of mouth and luck. Giga Bears is that place: local gig workers, all in one mountain marketplace.
Decided: the wordmark and headline font for Giga Bears is Archivo Black — Option B of the font proposal, chosen by Armando Galvan-Holbrook on November 11, 2026. It is now the headline face across this whole mockup: the hero wordmark treatment, the page headlines, both gig worker pages’ headlines, and the card titles — heavy and crisp, in solid cream on the hero’s Pine ribbon band and on Pine, with the tagline and small lines in cream. Body text stays Inter. The other proposal options are retired; this is the one specimen of the chosen lockup.
The homepage leads with the problem Big Bear actually has — then Giga Bears as the fix, then the first two working Giga Bears as proof it’s real.
Every trade and necessity on the mountain is scattered across group posts, bulletin boards, and phone numbers on truck windows. Nothing brings it together.
New residents, second-home owners, and visitors have no local network to ask. If you don’t already know somebody, you’re guessing.
Independent gig workers across the valley do excellent work with no storefront and no way to be found by the people driving past them.
Giga Bears puts local gig workers into one directory — browsable by service, rooted in the community, and open to gig workers across Southern California.
The middle of the page, carried over in the same order: find, meet, book direct.
Pick the trade or service you need from the directory’s categories — the eight trade badges, plus Wellbeing & Companionship for people services — and see the local Giga Bears who do it.
Every gig worker has a reusable profile: who they are, what they offer, and where they work. Reviews build over time from real neighbors.
What’s a Giga Bear? We call them Giga Bears because they’re locals — gig workers from the Big Bear community, serving the Big Bear Valley area.
You deal with your local Giga Bear, not a middleman. Each gig worker sets their own pricing, schedule, taxes, licenses, and insurance — Giga Bears makes the introduction, never employs them.

Each card is the door to that Giga Bear’s own full page — click a card to open it, exactly as it will run on Giga Bears.

Locked November 10, 2026: the rustic pop-finish Guild Ring emblem over the GIGA BEARS wordmark — cream on Pine, Pine on Cream — with “Big Bear’s Gig Worker Marketplace” and “Local hands. Every service.” Rustic finish everywhere; the ribbon seal was rejected and is not shown. The bare emblem never travels where nothing beside it says the name. One proposed change to that lock is presented first, below — it needs your word before anything is re-rendered.
You called it: in the locked logo the GIGA BEARS letters go skinny on the E and the A and don’t read well. The fix keeps everything you locked — the emblem, the layout, the taglines — and redraws only the wordmark lettering in Archivo Black — the headline face you picked on Nov 11 — solid cream with a soft shadow and no outline, so the name stays prominent at any distance. The locked files do not change unless you approve this.
Cropped from the locked primary logo at full size. Even this large, the crossbars and stems thin out — and it only gets weaker as the logo shrinks.
Same emblem above it, same two lines under it — the lettering itself is what changes: thick stems, solid crossbars, nothing skinny left to lose.
The proposed wordmark on Cream — Pine lettering in the same Archivo Black — so both locked grounds are covered by the one fix.

The fix is what top-tier teams do — the tiny sizes get their own mark, drawn from just the bear’s head, with thick shapes and nothing fine to go muddy. Three head treatments were built and tested below at true size. This page’s own browser tab is already wearing the winner — check the tab at the top of your browser.

Our recommendation: ship C as the favicon at 16 / 32 / 48px — it is the only one that still says “bear” at 16 pixels. It is a simplified redraw for tiny sizes only; the full emblem and the photographic bear stay untouched everywhere they have room to breathe. If you’d rather keep the real artwork at every size, A is the fallback — it holds up at 32px and softens at 16px. One word from you locks it.

The system you asked for: a gig worker sends their photos and their logo, answers one form, and gets a free page of their own on the marketplace — kept private from every other gig worker, reviewed by you before anything is public, and built to grow into website and app work for GigaSphere. This is the full plan, shown for your approval — the seven decisions at the end are the only open items.
Every Giga Bear’s page shows these parts in this order, at a web address like gigabears.app/p/your-name — your name as it appears in the address. The same parts also make the small listing card people see first: main photo, small logo badge, name, headline, main kind of work, areas served, Founding Bear badge. Nothing shows on a card that is not on the page.
| # | Part of the page | Needed? | Where it shows up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Main photo | Yes | Big and wide at the very top of the page |
| 1.2 | Your logo (a picture file with a see-through background) | Yes | On a small cream badge over the main photo, next to your name |
| 1.3 | Your name, as shown on the page | Yes | The big heading under the main photo |
| 1.4 | Headline — one short line, up to 90 letters | Yes | Right under your name |
| 1.5 | Founding Bear badge | First group only | Next to the name — Armando puts it there; a gig worker can’t give it to themselves |
| 1.6 | Kinds of work — 1 main kind + up to 2 more | Yes | A row of labels under the headline; these are also how people find you when they search by kind of work |
| 1.7 | Areas you serve | Yes | Under the labels — you pick them from the set list of communities; you don’t type them in yourself |
| 1.8 | “Request this Giga Bear” button | Yes | Stays in view on a phone, and sits at the top of the page on a computer; it opens that Giga Bear’s own request form |
| 1.9 | About you — a short write-up, 300 to 1,200 letters | Yes | The first part of the page under your photo and name |
| 1.10 | Services — 3 to 10, each with its own picture above it | Yes | Under About you; if you give a price for a service, it shows exactly as you wrote it, labeled “This Giga Bear’s price” |
| 1.11 | Photo gallery — up to 8 photos | Your choice | A row of photos under your services |
| 1.12 | Good-to-know details — languages you speak, when you’re available, years at your trade | Your choice | To the side of the page on a computer, below on a phone; only the parts you filled in show up |
| 1.13 | Your words about your license & insurance | Your choice | In the details area, always labeled “As told by this Giga Bear; not checked by Giga Bears” |
| 1.14 | Phone number | Only if you say yes | At the top of the page next to the request button — only if the gig worker chooses to show it |
| 1.15 | Website / social link | Your choice | In the details area — one link |
| 1.16 | The note that says you run your own business | Yes · never changes | At the bottom of every Giga Bear’s page; the gig worker can’t change it or take it off |
| 1.17 | Reviews | Not when the site first opens | Space saved under Services; it shows nothing until real reviews exist — no empty stars, ever |
| 1.18 | “Powered by GigaSphere OS” line | Yes · never changes | At the bottom of every Giga Bear’s page, right below the note above; it can’t be removed |
The form starts with one question — do you work on your own, or are you a small business? Both paths then answer the same 20 questions: an email and mobile number we check are really yours, the name to show on your page, your headline, your kinds of work, 3–10 services (each with a photo and a price note if you want them), the areas you serve picked from the set list of communities — Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Sugarloaf, Fawnskin, Erwin Lake, Boulder Bay, Moonridge area, plus “surrounding areas” — how you want customers to reach you, your words about your license and insurance, and two promises: that you work for yourself, and that the photos and logo you send in are yours to use. The form saves your answers as you go, so you never lose them, and you get to see your finished page and your listing card before the send button turns on.
The same 20 + 4 of your own: your full legal name (kept private, never shown on your page), a business name if you work under one, your home community, and a promise that you work on your own — so your page stays honest that it’s a one-person business.
The same 20 + 8 of your own: your business’s legal name, what kind of business it is, how big your team is, your business license, the company that insures you, up to 5 team members with photos, whether customers come to a shop or you go out to them, and a yes-or-no check that you have a tax ID number — the number itself is never asked for.
A picture file with a see-through background works best (SVG or PNG; a PNG should be at least 512 pixels wide). Before you send the form in, it shows you how your logo looks on a cream background and on a dark green background. If a file doesn’t work, the form tells you right there why — nobody quietly fixes a gig worker’s logo for them.
Every Giga Bear gets their own private space: their page, their photos, and the customer requests that come to them, all kept apart from everyone else’s. In plain words, that promises this:
Internal build note — not site copy: tenant isolation. The build is accepted only when all 14 written acceptance criteria (AC-01 to AC-14 in the spec) pass.
Every Giga Bear has their own page, at gigabears.app/p/their-name. A signed-in Giga Bear can only ever see or change their own page and their own information — if they try to open another Giga Bear’s anything, they’re told it can’t be found.
A request sent from a Giga Bear’s page goes only to that Giga Bear’s email and, if they said yes to it, their phone. No other Giga Bear ever sees it — and a request can never be handed over to someone else.
Pages still being worked on, and pages waiting for your review — along with their cards and photos — can be seen by nobody but the gig worker and you. You can say yes as-is, say yes with small fixes, send it back with a note, or say no — your review is the only way a page goes live.
Your behind-the-scenes view lists every Giga Bear and where their page stands, and keeps a record of everything you do. Turn a page off and visitors see a plain “not available right now” page; deleting removes one Giga Bear completely after 30 days and touches nobody else’s page, photos, or customer requests.
Send us your photos and your logo, answer a few questions about your work, and you get your own page on the Big Bear marketplace: your name, your services, the areas you cover, and a button that sends customers straight to you.
You keep your own prices, your own schedule, and your own clients. Giga Bears does not take your bookings, set your rates, or take a cut of your work.
Every page is reviewed by Armando before it goes live. Founding gig workers get the Founding Bear badge.
And the note that stays on every Giga Bear’s page, word for word: “Providers on Giga Bears are independent local businesses and individual contractors. They set their own prices and schedules and carry their own licenses and insurance. Giga Bears does not employ, guarantee, or vouch for any provider’s work.”
The free page is complete on its own: nothing is held back to push a gig worker into paying more, and there are no ads on Giga Bear pages. Anything about growing bigger is shown only to that Giga Bear — never to visitors.
One quiet line on the page a Giga Bear sees when they sign in, and one line in the email that says their page is live, from day one — just sitting there, no popups and no repeated nagging. GigaSphere builds it; their Giga Bears page stays live and links to it.
A card on their sign-in page that appears only after a Giga Bear’s first customer request arrives — once they’ve felt the marketplace work. You talk it over with them personally; it’s never sold to them automatically.
Internal note — not site copy
A paid plan doesn’t exist yet and isn’t promised anywhere a customer can see. It would arrive only after bookings are flowing — nothing is promised now.

Headline: “Vacation-home and Airbnb cleaning across the Big Bear valley”
Serving: Big Bear Lake, Sugarloaf, Moonridge area + surrounding areas
Services: Full turnover clean (This Giga Bear’s price: priced per home) · Deep clean · Laundry service · Restock & report
Gallery: 5 photos — kitchen, bathroom, linens, deck, team van · Languages: English, Spanish · Years in trade: 6
Availability: “Turnovers 7 days a week; book 48 hours ahead when you can” · Customer requests: only through the form on this page
The details area reads: “License: Not required for my services. Insurance: Insured. — As told by this Giga Bear; not checked by Giga Bears.”
A page for someone working on their own is different only where the form is different: no business part, their own words about license and insurance in the details area, and “Based in Fawnskin” if they choose to show their home community. Christopher and Joey fit this same page pattern — their pages above were moved onto Giga Bears exactly as they were, instead of being typed in again through the form.
The plan is ready to build except these. A yes adopts the recommendation as written; a no on any one just changes that line of the plan.
Do customer requests reach Giga Bears only through the form on their page, or may a Giga Bear also show their phone number publicly? The form currently offers both, with the form as the usual way.
Show customer reviews on Giga Bear pages right away, later, or never? Part 1.17 currently shows nothing.
The free-offer copy above is accurate only while founding entry stays free; a fee would require rewording it before use.
Part 1.13 shows them on the page in the Giga Bear’s own words; the other choice is keeping them private, where only you see them.
When a gig worker sends in their form, do we tell them how fast you’ll review their page?
Joey’s offering doesn’t fit any of the eight trade categories. Add a ninth, or list him under Guides & Outdoor Experiences?
Is the Giga Bear page in two languages — a switch between English and Spanish on the page’s buttons and labels — from day one?
Everything above is ready for a single pass. Closed since the last pass: Christopher’s and Joey’s photos, service wording, and pricing were captured for Giga Bears and are built into their directory cards and full pages in §2–3 — nothing is standing in for them anymore. These five are what remain:
