Brand

Every variant as a real vector file, 27 of them, plus the palette and the few rules worth keeping.

All of it is SVG, so it scales to a billboard without going soft. The type in every lockup is converted to outlines rather than left as live text, which means these open correctly on a machine with no fonts installed. That is the difference between a logo file and a screenshot of one.

Right click, save. Or open one and take the code straight into whatever you are building.

The mark

The symbol on its own. Use it wherever the name is already present.

App tiles

Square, for app icons, favicons and anywhere the mark needs its own ground.

Badges

Round, for stickers, avatars and profile pictures, where a square reads as a screenshot.

Lockups

Mark and name together. This is the default signature.

Wordmark

The name alone, for places the mark already appears nearby.

Colour

The green is the only saturated colour in the system. Everything else is a near neutral with a slight cool bias, which is what lets one accent do the work of several.

Brand

Two colours carry the identity. The green is the only saturated thing in the system, which is what makes it read as the brand rather than as decoration.

Surfaces

Four steps from the page to a raised control. Deliberately close together: the hierarchy comes from hairlines rather than from heavy contrast, so a screen full of numbers stays calm.

Text

Two weights only. A third grey would just be an excuse not to decide what matters.

Verdict

The reserved status palette. Each is validated at 3:1 or better against the panel colour, and each ships with its own word and its own glyph, because colour alone is never the signal. Only ever one on screen at a time.

Chart

The distribution bars carry two states, not a series. The grey deliberately fails the chroma floor written for categorical colours, because it is the recessive half of one measure rather than a category of its own.

Type

Archivo. Extra bold at 800 for the name and headings, tracked tight at minus four and a half percent. Semibold at 600 for labels. Regular for everything else. Numbers are always set with tabular figures so columns of money line up.

The four rules

Leave it room. Clear space around the mark is at least the height of its own funnel mouth. Crowding it is the fastest way to make a good logo look cheap.

Do not recolour it. Green, white, black, or the duotone. Never a gradient, never a photo fill, never a different green.

Do not rebuild the lockup. The spacing between mark and name is fixed. If you need them apart, use the mark and the wordmark as separate pieces rather than moving them.

Keep it above sixteen pixels. Below that the funnel closes up. There is a small size tile in the pack for exactly this.
