Brand guidelines · Version 1.0 · November 2026
How the Inkdot brand looks, sounds and shows up. Copy colors, test type, check your writing and download logo files, all on this page.
01 Brand idea
An ink square is a business at work. The lime dot is the signal that someone is there to answer, at any hour. Inkdot gets businesses online and keeps that dot lit, with a person always one step away when a decision matters.
Inkdot in one sentenceWe get businesses online and keep them answering, with websites, business email and AI agents.
We answer fast and we answer fully. No message waits until Monday.
We talk about leads, bookings and hours saved. Not about AI for its own sake.
Every action is logged. Sensitive calls go to a person. We show our work.
Friendly and plain-spoken, like a great front desk. Never robotic, never pushy.
02 Logo
The Inkdot mark with a wordmark set in Bricolage Grotesque Bold. Pick a version below to preview it, then download it. Never retype the wordmark.
Primary: use on White or Paper. This is the default for most uses.
An Ink rounded square with a Lime dot in the lower right corner. It reads as a status light: online, ready, answering. Use it alone for favicons, app icons and avatars.
Bricolage Grotesque Bold, tracking minus 2%. One word with a capital I. Never InkDot, Ink Dot or INKDOT.
Square 32u, corner radius 9u. Dot 11u across, inset 6u from the right and bottom edges.
Keep clear space of x on every side, where x is half the height of the mark. No text, edges or other logos inside it.
Below these sizes the dot loses its shape. Use the mark alone when space is tight. In the logo, the mark is 1.6 times the wordmark font size, with a gap of half the font size.
Don't stretch or squash it.
Don't move the dot to another corner.
Don't recolor the dot.
Don't change the square to a circle.
Don't add gradients, shadows or effects.
Don't retype or restyle the wordmark.
03 Color
Ink and White do most of the work. Lime is the signal: the dot, the main highlight and one bold moment per layout. Click any swatch to copy its value.
CMYK values are starting points. Proof Lime on press: it sits outside most CMYK gamuts and may need a spot color.
Use one campaign accent at a time to theme a campaign, a vertical or a chart. Accents can stand in for Lime in a layout, never in the logo. Always set Ink text on them.
Pick a text color and a background. Body text needs 4.5:1, large text (24 px and up) needs 3:1.

Typesetting rules
05 Components
The building blocks of every Inkdot page. Hover the buttons and switch the conversation tabs to see them in action.
Buttons
Book a strategy callPill shape, 44 px minimum height. The round knob carries the arrow and the accent.
Inbound in Paper, agent in Ink, actions in Mono on Lime Soft, approvals in a dashed Ink frame.
Status chips
State is always written in words, never shown by color alone.
Radius
Prefer hairlines and space. One soft shadow only, for floating panels: 0 24px 48px at 8% Ink.
All colors and fonts as CSS variables, ready for any project.
06 Icons and graphic elements
24 px grid, 2 px stroke, round caps and joins, no fills. We use the open-source Lucide set so every icon matches. Click an icon to copy its SVG.
Borrowed from the mark. A small Lime dot says "on" or "active", marks a list, or opens an eyebrow pill. Outline it in Ink on light backgrounds.
Here are both options.
Sent pricing sheet
Our illustration style is real UI. Short, believable chats and action logs show the product working. No robots, no glowing brains.
A dashed Ink line always means a human checkpoint. Keep it for approvals and hand-offs so it keeps that meaning.
07 Voice and messaging
Short sentences. Concrete outcomes. Calm confidence. People stay in charge.
"Your agent answered 214 messages last night and booked 9 calls."
"Revolutionize your customer experience with cutting-edge AI."
"Checked the calendar and held Thursday at 2:00 PM."
"Our AI is processing your request."
"Nothing is sent until you approve it."
"Fully autonomous. Set it and forget it."
"You get a week-by-week plan on the strategy call."
"Instant results, guaranteed!"
Words we avoid
Revolutionary, game-changing, cutting-edge, unleash, supercharge, seamless, magic, set and forget, and "AI-powered" in place of saying what it does.
Words we use
Reply, answer, qualify, book, approve, hand off, follow up, launch, run, measure, save time.
Paste a headline, post or email. The checker flags hype words, em and en dashes, weak calls to action, exclamation marks and brand-name mistakes.
Tagline
