Logo

The wordmark is the primary mark. Give it room: keep clear space of at least the height of the icon on every side. The square icon is for small spaces, avatars and favicons.

Color

Tap any swatch to copy its hex. Green does the talking, black sets the stage, and every helper keeps its own accent.

Brand greens

The signature. Green is the only brand color that carries meaning: it marks what to tap and what is done.

Foundation

A near-black canvas with layered greys. The dark stage makes the food, the mascots and the green pop.

Character accents

Each helper owns one hue. Use it only for that helper's dot, chip or glow, never as a general accent.

Utility

Sparingly. Gold for rating stars, red only for genuine errors.

03

Typography

One typeface does all the work: GT Walsheim Pro. Warm, geometric, a little characterful. Headings sit at Medium with tight tracking, balanced when they wrap.

The team

The helpers are the brand's face. Friendly astronaut mascots, each with a job and a color. Always shown cut out on dark, never on a busy background.

Voice and tone

We sound like a calm, capable friend who happens to run your online side. Never a robot, never a salesperson.

Do

  • Talk like a helpful person texting in WhatsApp: plain, warm, no jargon.
  • Show the whole product: reviews, Google, website and social, not one feature.
  • Be honest. There is a dashboard, it is just optional. Never claim less than is true.
  • Read naturally in both Dutch and English. Write each language on its own terms.

Don't

  • No em-dashes. Use a period, comma or colon.
  • Never the word "appje". Use "berichtje" or "WhatsApp-bericht".
  • No lonely last word on a two-line heading. Balance the lines.
  • No hype or false simplicity to sound clever. Clear beats clever.

In practice

A few rules that keep every touchpoint feeling like us.

Green only on what you tap, what is done, and eyebrows.
Default teal, blue or purple anywhere in the brand.
Logo in white on dark, in ink on light. Keep clear space around it.
Recoloring, stretching or adding effects to the logo.
One idea per heading, balanced across two lines when it wraps.
Walls of text. Short lines, plenty of black space.
