Brand guidelines · v1.0

Navigate by
the north star.

PilotPad's identity is built on one idea: a guiding star with a token in orbit around it. Calm, precise and quietly luminous — the confidence of a pilot who knows the route.

Colour

Deep space, one signal

Interfaces live in Void and Ink. Indigo is the brand voice; Signal is reserved for live states and positive movement — use it sparingly so it always means something.

Material

Liquid glass

Surfaces are panes of glass floating over deep space: a refractive bezel, a soft specular highlight along the top edge and a gradient hairline. Glass is for structure; content always stays crisp.

Refraction

In supporting browsers, the bezel of each pane bends what's behind it, like a real lens. Everywhere else it degrades to frosted glass.

Liquid glass

Motion

Motion is slow and purposeful: elements rise and come into focus as they enter, the command center tilts up to meet you, and agents breathe with a quiet pulse. Everything respects reduced-motion settings.

Voice

Say less. Prove more.

We are
  • Calm, precise and confident
  • Specific — numbers, steps, next actions
  • On the founder's side
We never
  • Promise returns or predict prices
  • Use rockets, moons or ALL CAPS hype
  • Stretch, recolour or outline the mark
