Brand Design System

The Source Brand Kit

A comprehensive design system for decentralized data infrastructure. Explore every color, typeface, component, and pattern that makes Source.

01

Visual Theme & Atmosphere

A developer-tools brand built on geometric precision and pixel-grid density. Flat vector, single dominant green, no gradients, no shadows.

Flat Vector Only
No gradients, no blur, no drop shadows anywhere in the system.
Pixel-Grid Aesthetic
Small rounded rectangles at varying scales evoke data nodes and networks.
Single Color Dominance
#06B250 green with product-specific accents.
High Contrast
Green on black, green on white, white on black. Always bold pairings.
02

Color Palette & Roles

The Source palette is intentionally constrained. One brand green dominates. Product accents are isolated to their contexts. Click any swatch to copy.

Layout Principles

8px base grid with a constrained spacing scale. Generous whitespace between sections creates breathing room.

Depth & Elevation

Source is entirely flat. Depth is achieved through color contrast and border hierarchy, never shadows.

Level 0
Flat — no border, no shadow
Level 1
Outlined — 1px border
Level 2
Surface lift — tinted bg
Overlay
Semi-transparent backdrop

Do's and Don'ts

Explicit guardrails to keep designs on-brand. Follow these rules for consistent output.

Do
  • Use #06B250 as the primary action and accent color
  • Pair green with black or white only — high contrast
  • Use Funnel Display for headlines at 32px+; Inter below
  • Apply negative letter-spacing at display sizes
  • Keep illustrations in the pixel-dot grid style
  • Use product accents only within their product context
  • Keep design flat: borders and surface color, never shadows
Don't
  • Don't use gradients — the brand is entirely flat
  • Don't apply drop shadows or box shadows
  • Don't use green for large background fills in body areas
  • Don't mix product accent colors with each other
  • Don't use Funnel Display below 32px
  • Don't introduce colors outside the defined palette
  • Don't use pill-shaped buttons for primary CTAs (use 8px radius)

Responsive Behavior

Four breakpoints govern layout collapse. Touch targets are always at least 44x44px.

Example Component Prompts
Hero Section (Dark)
Create a hero section on a black (#000000) background. Headline in Funnel Display at 72px weight 700, line-height 1.05, letter-spacing -2.5px, color white (#FFFFFF). Subtitle in Inter at 18px weight 400, line-height 1.55, color white. Primary CTA button with #06B250 background, white text, Inter 14px weight 500, 8px border radius, 10px 20px padding. No shadows anywhere.
Feature Card Grid (Light)
Create a 3-column card grid on white background. Each card has white (#FFFFFF) background, 1px solid #E5E5E5 border, 12px border radius, 24px padding. Card title in Inter 20px weight 600, #000000. Body text in Inter 16px weight 400, #000000. Each card has a 24x24 pixel icon in #06B250 above the title. Gap between cards: 24px. No shadows.
Navigation Bar
Create a navigation bar at 64px height. White background, logo on the left (Source logomark). Navigation links in Inter 14px weight 500, black text. Primary CTA button on the right using brand green (#06B250) background, white text, 8px radius. No shadow on the nav bar — use a 1px solid #E5E5E5 bottom border if separation is needed.
Iteration Checklist
#Check
1All colors match exact hex values — no approximations
2Funnel Display used only at 32px+ display sizes, Inter for everything else
3No shadows exist anywhere — depth is borders and surface color only
4Product accent colors isolated to their respective product contexts
5Pixel-grid / geometric aesthetic maintained in custom elements
6All interactive elements have hover, focus, and disabled states
7Responsive: layouts collapse correctly, type scales down, spacing reduces

3D Isometric Series — "That's Why We Built Source"
Isometric block illustrations highlighting each pillar of the Source platform. Base form in neutral gray, with the active feature block highlighted in Source Green.
Backgrounds
Full-width pixel-dot grid backgrounds for page sections and marketing surfaces. 1456x800 base size. Available on white and black canvases.
