Colour System

The Minarik AI palette is built around a cyan-to-blue gradient as the primary brand expression. All digital work uses HEX/RGB values. For print, use the CMYK values provided — always use uncoated CMYK profiles.

Primary Brand Gradient

CSS: linear-gradient(135deg, #22d3ee 0%, #3b82f6 100%)

Direction: top-left to bottom-right (135deg)

Use only for: logo mark, headline gradient text, primary CTA buttons, accent line elements. Never use as a solid fill on large areas.

Brand Colours

The two gradient anchor points. Only used in the gradient — never as flat solids on large areas.

Print Vendor Note

CMYK values are provided as a starting point based on conversion from screen (sRGB). Final print proofing is required — particularly for the cyan-blue gradient, which can shift significantly across different paper stocks and print processes. Request a physical proof before final press runs.

03

Typography

The brand typeface is Inter by Rasmus Andersson. It is used exclusively across all digital touchpoints. For print work where Inter may not be available, use Arial or Helvetica as a fallback.

HOW IT WORKS

04

Brand Voice

How we sound is as important as how we look. Every word in brand materials — from a button label to a pitch deck headline — should feel like it was written by the same team.

One-line positioning

Minarik AI builds predictable pipeline systems for high-trust B2B service businesses.

This is the anchor. Every piece of copy — however short — should connect back to this idea: predictable, pipeline, high-trust B2B services.

Tone Attributes

Confident

We know what we're doing. No hedging, no excessive caveats, no overpromising. State things plainly.

"We implement this end-to-end — not a strategy deck, a working system."

Clear

Short sentences. Active voice. No jargon unless the audience uses it themselves. One idea per sentence.

"Leads come in. They get qualified. You get a booked call."

Practical

What does it actually do? What problem does it solve? What happens next? Ground every claim in reality.

"Speed-to-lead drops to minutes, not hours. That matters when attention spans are short."

ROI-led

Buyers want outcomes, not features. Lead with what the client gets, then explain how.

"More qualified booked calls. Less time chasing cold leads."

What We Never Say

Some phrases undermine credibility or conflict with brand positioning. Avoid these in all brand materials.

"I" or "me" (founder-led language)

"Guaranteed results" or revenue promises

"AI-first" (too generic)

"Guru", "expert", "ninja", "rockstar"

"aiacquisition.com" or any partner references

"Free consultation" (use "Growth Systems Call")

"Game-changer" or "disruptive"

"You're in safe hands" without specifics

Do / Don't — Copy Examples

Capability framing, not revenue guarantee

Usage Rules

Guidelines for how to apply — and how not to apply — the Minarik AI brand. These rules apply to all materials: digital, print, presentations, and partner co-branding.

Logo Do's and Don'ts

Use the official SVG files provided in this guide

Maintain the minimum clear space (0.5× logo width) on all sides

Use the colour version on white/light backgrounds

Use the white reversed version on dark or coloured backgrounds

Use the monochrome version for single-colour print (embossing, foiling, laser engraving)

Scale proportionally — always lock aspect ratio

Recreate or redraw the logo mark from scratch

Change the logo colours outside of the approved variants

Apply drop shadows, outlines, gradients, or special effects to the mark

Stretch, distort, or rotate the logo

Place the colour logo on dark backgrounds (use the white variant instead)

Display the mark below 24px in any digital context

Enclose the logo in a box, circle, or shape that competes with the mark

Colour Usage Rules

Use the cyan-to-blue gradient for the logo mark, primary buttons, and headline gradient text

Use the dark slate palette (slate-900 to slate-950) for primary backgrounds

Ensure all text meets WCAG AA contrast on its background

Use status colours (emerald, amber, red) for semantic UI feedback only

Use the gradient as a large background fill across full-width sections

Use cyan or blue as flat solid fills on large areas

Place white text on the cyan start (#22d3ee) without checking contrast first

Introduce new colours not in the approved palette without brand team approval

Use any violet, purple, or indigo hues — these are not in the brand palette

File Format Reference

Which format to use and when. Always download from the official brand assets folder — do not screenshot or crop the logo from any document.

FormatBest for
SVGAll digital applications — website, email, digital presentations
PNG (transparent bg)Documents, Word/PowerPoint, email signatures, online forms that do not support SVG
PNG (white bg)Print documents where transparency may cause issues
PDF (vector)Print-ready files for professional printers and press
EPSLegacy print applications requiring vector EPS

Co-branding Rules

Partner co-branded materials

When producing co-branded materials with partners, the Minarik AI logo must appear at equal visual weight to the partner logo. Neither logo should dominate the other. Separate logos with a vertical divider or adequate whitespace — never superimpose one logo over another.

Integration / stack references

When displaying integration partner logos (HubSpot, Salesforce, Make, etc.), frame them as "Works with your existing stack" — not as endorsements or official partnerships. Always check each platform's brand guidelines before use in any external material.

Approval process

All co-branded or partner materials must be approved by the Minarik AI team before publication. Send final files to the brand team for sign-off with at least 5 business days notice.

Contact & Brand Approval

For brand assets, approval requests, or questions about applying these guidelines, contact the Minarik AI team.
