Brand Guide

The visual identity and voice of Scribe. Everything you need to represent the brand consistently.

✒️ Logo

The Scribe logo is a clean serif wordmark paired with a fountain pen emoji. Simple, literary, memorable.

✒️ Scribe
✒️ Scribe

Usage rules:

• Always use Playfair Display 700 weight for the wordmark

• Minimum clear space: half the height of the "S" on all sides

• Never stretch, rotate, or recolor the logo

• The ✒️ emoji is part of the mark — don't remove it

🗣️ Tone of Voice

How Scribe sounds. Confident, approachable, and refreshingly direct.

Confident, Not Arrogant

We've published 1,285+ articles. We know what works. But we show it through results, not boasting.

Simple, Not Dumbed Down

A plumber should understand our pitch. A CMO should respect it. No jargon, no buzzwords.

Warm, Not Casual

Literary warmth, like a well-written letter. Professional but never stiff or corporate.

Action-Oriented

Every message drives toward a next step. We don't just inform — we invite action.

✓ Do say

  • "Your first articles appear in minutes"
  • "Proven on 1,285+ published articles"
  • "Watch the magic happen"
  • "Built by operators, not theorists"
  • "Zero setup. Zero headaches."

✕ Don't say

  • "Leveraging AI-powered synergies"
  • "Revolutionary paradigm shift"
  • "Best-in-class solution"
  • "Disruptive innovation"
  • "Democratizing content creation"

🔘 Buttons & UI Elements

Consistent interaction patterns across all touchpoints.

Primary CTA Secondary ✨ Badge

Button rules:

• Primary CTAs use Rust (#b5522a) with white text, pill-shaped (border-radius: 50px)

• Secondary buttons are outlined with Ink border

• Badges use Amber Glow background with Amber text

• All interactive elements have subtle hover transitions (0.2s)

📸 Imagery & Illustration

Visual elements that complement the literary warmth of the brand.

Article Cards

White cards with subtle shadows and slight rotations. Show real content examples — titles, word counts, SEO scores. Makes the product tangible.

Dot Patterns

Subtle radial dot grids as background texture. Low opacity (0.3-0.4). Adds depth without clutter.

Quill Accents

The ✒️ quill emoji used as floating decorative elements. Slow CSS animation (6s float). Opacity: 0.2-0.35.

Photography

If needed: warm-toned, natural lighting. Think coffee shop, wooden desk, leather journal. Never cold/corporate stock photos.
