Brand kit

The Plotwork brand

The logo, the animated logo, the colours and the type. Use them to write about Plotwork, and keep them as they are.

59 files: every logo, the animated logo, the favicon, the palette and a README with the rules.

Motion

Animated logo

The mark draws itself the way the product draws a diagram: the first box appears, a pen writes the connector, and the second box appears where the pen stops. Each loop starts and ends on the finished mark.

One loop is 4.8 seconds at 25 frames a second. The GIF is 512 pixels square and the WebM video 1024.

Colour

Colours

Brand

The teal is an accent: the second box of the mark, focus rings and links. It is never the colour of a button.

Ink and paper

Near-black and near-white carry the lines of the mark and almost every pixel of the product.

Chart accents

A closed set for charts, tags and status. Never use one as a brand colour.

Download the palette

CSS custom properties, design tokens in the Design Tokens Community Group format, and Adobe swatches for design tools.

Type

Typography

Three families, all free under the SIL Open Font License. The kit links to the official source instead of carrying the font files.

Usage

Using the logo

A few rules keep the logo recognisable wherever it appears.

Plotwork horizontal lockup, for light backgrounds
Clear space Keep half the height of one box of the mark clear on every side. Every file already carries this margin.
  • Plotwork mark, 20 px20 px
  • Plotwork stacked lockup, 64 px64 px
  • Plotwork horizontal lockup, 112 px112 px
Minimum size Below these widths the connector and the letters close up.

Do

  • On a light background, in ink and teal

  • On a dark background, in near-white and light teal

  • Use the files as they are, in the tone made for the background they sit on.
  • Keep the clear space round the logo: half the height of one box of the mark on every side. Every file already carries it.
  • Use the mark alone where space is tight, such as an avatar or a favicon.
  • Write the name as Plotwork in running text. PLOTWORK in capitals is the wordmark, not a spelling.

Do not

  • Recolour it

  • Stretch or squash it

  • Add shadows, glows or outlines

  • Put it on a busy background

  • Do not recolour the logo, or swap the teal for another colour.
  • Do not stretch, squash, rotate or redraw it.
  • Do not add shadows, glows, outlines or other effects.
  • Do not put it on a busy picture or a background without enough contrast.
  • Do not use it in a way that suggests Plotwork made, sponsors or endorses your product.
