Brand
The code-anything.com logo.
The Aperture: two brackets closed around the anything held between the code. Every version of it, in vector and PNG, with the geometry, the colour and the few rules that keep it recognisable.
Primary
Start here
Three lockups cover almost every use. Each one is shown on the ground it is made for — that, and nothing else, is how you tell whether you have the right file.
The mark carries its own gradient tile, so it never needs a reversed version — on light and on dark it is the same file. Only the wordmark changes colour, and only the one-colour variants drop the gradient altogether.
Variations
Every version of the logo
Pick by ground, not by taste. A full-colour mark wants a plain light or dark panel; a one-colour asset is what goes on the gradient, on a photograph, or through a single-colour print.
Construction
What the mark is built on
A 64-unit rounded square with a corner radius of 14, a 1.5-wide hairline inset 0.75 inside its edge, two brackets stroked 5 units with round caps, and a dot of radius 4.6 dead centre. Nothing in it is arbitrary, which is why redrawing it by eye never quite lands.
Minimum size
Below this the brackets close up and the dot disappears into them. Both figures are shown here at their real pixel size — this is not an illustration of the limit, it is the limit.
Clear space
Keep a margin of at least half the mark’s width on every side. Nothing goes inside the hatched area — not type, not a rule, not another logo.
Colour
The Aurora gradient
Three stops on a 135-degree diagonal, and one ink. The same three run through the mark, the buttons and the gradient headings across this site.
#F2793DThe first stop — top left of the tile.#C64BA6The midpoint, and the site's solid accent.#3E6FE0The last stop — bottom right of the tile.#1D1B16The wordmark on light, and every one-colour asset./* the Aurora gradient — 135 degrees, three stops */
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #F2793D 0%, #C64BA6 50%, #3E6FE0 100%);Typeface
Bricolage Grotesque
The wordmark is Bricolage Grotesque Bold, a free open-source grotesk; body text on this site is Inter. The downloadable lockups carry the wordmark as outlines, so they open correctly on a machine with neither font installed. Every hex above is plain selectable text — click one and it selects whole.
Usage
Please don’t
Four things that turn a recognisable mark into an approximate one. Each card shows the mistake, not a description of it.
- Reach for the vector first. One SVG covers every size; a PNG is for the places that still cannot take one.
- Take the variant that matches the BACKGROUND, not the one that matches your slide theme. That is the whole reason each preview above stands on a different ground.
- Scale it proportionally. The mark is a square and the lockup has one fixed aspect ratio; anything else is a stretch.
- You may use the logo to refer to code-anything.com — in an article, a talk, a comparison, an integration listing. Not as your own product’s mark.
- Do not rebuild the brackets, the dot or the wordmark by hand. Every file you need is on this page; if one is missing, ask.
The rest
Two last things
Writing the name
Write code-anything.com: all lower case, hyphenated, with the domain. Not Code Anything, not CodeAnything, not code anything. In running prose after the first mention, code-anything on its own is fine. The mark is called the Aperture and the gradient is called Aurora.
Another format
Need an EPS, a one-colour version in a specific spot colour, a particular pixel size, or the mark cleared for a printed piece? Email hello@code-anything.com and say what it is for — we will cut the file rather than have you redraw it.
