The canonical Vibestarter mark, color tokens, typography, voice and motion rules, organized for production use. Take the asset; the specification is here when the application demands it.
- 01Two-voice typographySerif statements in sentence case; mono machine chrome at label size.
- 02Terminal / IDE aestheticMonospace, >_ prompts, // comment labels, line numbers.
- 03Hardware styleSegmented progress blocks, physical button press, corner brackets.
- 04Color disciplineAccent marks active state. Everything passive stays neutral.
- 05Geometric precisionRadius is zero. Corner brackets over rounded borders.
- 06Animation restraintFast, step-based, purpose-driven. Nothing floats.
- 07No decoration without functionEvery visual element communicates state or hierarchy.
[ 01 / Logo ]
Logo
The mark is a terminal prompt and cursor. It ships as exact vector paths: use the asset, never redraw it. One geometry, two working hues, one inversion.
The one large-scale use of the mark. Behind the title of a deck, a presentation or a social graphic, the mark sits at about thirty times its lockup size: its own outline and seven geometric offsets at even steps, accent green fading from 13% at the mark to 4% at the outer ring. Built from the exact paths, scaled, never redrawn.
It anchors low and left, behind the statement, and bleeds off the edge. Title slides carry it; content slides stay flat. It never repeats, tiles, rotates or changes hue, and it is the only background field any Vibestarter surface carries. Pages never have one.
- ×Redrawing or tracing the mark
- ×Rotating or skewing it
- ×Any hue outside green / emerald / black-on-green
- ×Drop shadows or glows as decoration
- ×Low-contrast placement (green on bone)
- ×A grid, pattern or texture behind it
- ×Any background field other than the contour field above
[ 02 / Color ]
Color
Color marks system state; it is never chrome. Green is active. Blue is secondary information. Persimmon is pro-rata pressure: oversubscription, overflow, refunds. Everything else is neutral, and neutrals are most of every screen.
- One dominant signal per surface. The rest stays neutral.
- Accent means active, engaged, or verified; never decoration, never chrome.
- Errors and challenges use red; warnings use amber. Functional, not brand.
- No gradients on surfaces. The single approved gradient is the green-to-blue text accent, one hero use.
- Backgrounds are flat. No grids, patterns or textures; structure comes from borders and type.
[ 03 / Typography ]
Typography
Three families, strict roles. Instrument Serif is the human voice: statements and editorial titles, sentence case, single weight. JetBrains Mono is the machine voice: wordmark, data, labels, terminal chrome. Inter carries explanation. If a value is a number the system produced, it is set in mono, bold, tabular.
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The pivotal phrase is italic.
The voice of founders and backers. Sentence case, weight 400 only, never below ~20px, never for data or numbers. Emphasis is at most one italic phrase per statement; never bold, never caps, never a colored word.
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
0123456789
>_ [ ] // { } %
The highlighted glyphs are the visual vocabulary: the prompt, the cursor, bracket labels, comment slashes, and the slashed zero that keeps figures unambiguous.
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
0123456789
The only sans-serif. Weights 400–600, sentence case, no hype capitalization. It explains; it never announces.
Sans figures drift out of alignment and read as prose. System numbers are telemetry.
[ 04 / Voice ]
Voice
A senior infrastructure operator writing their own docs: direct, technical, slightly dry. The system is the actor: it reports state, names causes, and states next steps. It does not sell excitement.
- Second person for the user (“you”). “We” rarely; “us / our” never in marketing.
- Zero exclamation marks. Zero emoji, anywhere in UI.
- Present tense, short declaratives, precise numbers.
- Body copy is sentence case; “vibecoded” stays lowercase.
- No unqualified protection or safety claims, ever.
Vibestarter is multi-chain. Copy is either chain-neutral (“onchain”) or complete (“on Base and Robinhood Chain”), never “on Base” alone.
Approved exception: the footer tagline “Built on Base — the onchain home of AI agents.” stays as written.
The revolutionary future of startup funding!
Capital releases on a schedule. Backers can challenge each monthly tranche.
States the mechanism. No superiority claims, no exclamation marks.
Oops! Nothing here yet
[ SYSTEM STANDBY ] · Awaiting input
The system reports its state; it does not apologize or emote.
Something went wrong. Please try again later.
Transaction reverted: challenge window is open. Retry after it closes.
Names the cause and the exact next step. Vague errors are a design failure.
Your funds are completely safe with us.
Contributions are speculative and carry significant risk of total loss.
Fully literal, no softening. Unqualified protection claims are never made.
[ 05 / Motion ]
Motion
Motion is diagnostic. It confirms input, reveals data, or marks a state change, then stops. Fast, mechanical, step-based. If an animation cannot explain something, it is removed.
The press is the machine acknowledging input. No ripples, no glow.
- Springs, bounces, floaty loops, parallax, decorative particles.
- Opacity dims and scale transforms as hover states.
- Ambient cursor blink. The blinking cursor is a crutch; it appears only inside a genuine terminal loader that is literally awaiting a response, never as decoration.
- Anything that ignores prefers-reduced-motion.
[ 06 / Application ]
Application
One system, two registers. Marketing may run monumental: one message at maximum scale. The application stays operational: telemetry, state, and explicit risk. Both share the same type, color and square geometry.
signal.
Marketing · monumental scale, one message, one accent. Narrative pacing is allowed; decoration still is not.
Application · operational density: state, telemetry, segmented progress, and risk stated literally.
Decks and presentations · the marketing register on 16:9. The lockup top-left at its usual proportions, one // section label top-right, the URL bottom-left. The title slide carries the contour field behind a serif statement; every other slide is flat black with mono facts and, where a mechanism needs showing, a drawing in chain colours. No stock imagery, no gradients, no decoration.

Creator kit
Ready-made raster assets and the rules that apply to anyone producing content about Vibestarter: clips, UGC video, threads, campaign posts. Everything on this page is public: take the assets, state the facts, follow the rules.
- >Funds release by time, not milestones: 10% at kickstart, then 15% monthly for 6 months.
- >Backers can file an onchain challenge in a 72-hour window before each monthly release.
- >Liquidity from each raise is locked indefinitely. Founder tokens vest over 18 months.
- >Every token carries an Origin Capsule: onchain proof of which AI tool and model built the app.
- >Multi-chain: raises run on Base and Robinhood Chain.
