Logo

The Dipnot mark comes in solo marks (transparent background, for in-layout use) and composed variants (mark on a solid background, for app icons, OG cards, and social avatars). Pick the variant that reads cleanly against its background.

Colors

Dipnot Teal is the single primary accent across every surface — buttons, active states, focus rings, links. The two darker tones below are composed-asset backgrounds only (app icons, OG cards) — never use them as UI backgrounds.

Typography

One sans family across every surface for titles and web body: Inter (SIL OFL 1.1, free). The brand wordmark uses a separate display font, Gabarito Semibold — baked into the logo SVGs and never loaded at runtime.

Rules

Clear space

Leave at least 1/6 of the mark height empty on all sides of any solo mark. No text, button, or container edge may enter this zone. If the mark renders at 60 px, keep 10 px clear on each side. Clear space is a minimum, not a target — more is fine, less is not. Composed variants already bake in the equivalent padding; don't add more around them.

Minimum size

The mark holds up small, but inner detail muddies below 16 px. Floors per context:

Context Minimum
Favicon / browser tab 16 × 16 px
Inline UI (button icon, nav item, chip) 20 × 20 px
Standalone UI (avatar, card corner, list row) 40 × 40 px
Display (hero, splash, marketing) 80 × 80 px
Print 8 mm

Misuse

Don't:

  • Stretch or skew the mark.
  • Recolor outside the approved palette.
  • Add shadows, glows, or outlines.
  • Place the mark on low-contrast backgrounds.
  • Rotate or flip the mark.
  • Use the Winter Bloom or Sky Captain colors as UI backgrounds — they exist only for composed brand assets.
