How to present TaskVoice: the logo and its files, exact colors, type, spacing, and the contrast rules that keep it readable.

Logo usage

Each example uses the real logo file. The don'ts are distorted with styling on this page only, to show what to avoid.

  • Do

    Use the Signal lockup on Paper and other light surfaces.

  • Do

    Use the dark lockup on Ink and other dark surfaces.

  • Do

    Use the T mark alone once the name is already on screen.

  • Don't

    Don't stretch or squash the logo. Scale it proportionally.

  • Don't

    Don't recolor the mark or wordmark outside the supplied files.

  • Don't

    Don't place the logo on Signal Orange or busy backgrounds.

  • Don't

    Don't put the light-surface lockup on a dark ground.

  • Don't

    Don't rotate the logo or add shadows, outlines or effects.

Color

Six core colors, mapped to semantic roles for light and dark themes. Values are exact; copy them as written.

  • Ink

    #181918

    rgb(24, 25, 24) · --tv-ink

    Primary text, the wordmark on light surfaces, and dark surfaces.

  • Paper

    #F5F3EE

    rgb(245, 243, 238) · --tv-paper

    Page background in light mode and text on Ink.

  • Signal Orange

    #FF703D

    rgb(255, 112, 61) · --tv-orange

    The T mark and the single main action of an area, always with Ink text.

  • Lavender

    #BCA6FF

    rgb(188, 166, 255) · --tv-lavender

    Focus rings and links on dark surfaces.

  • White

    #FFFFFF

    rgb(255, 255, 255) · --tv-white

    Raised surfaces such as cards in light mode.

  • Slate

    #62645E

    rgb(98, 100, 94) · --tv-slate

    Secondary and muted text on light surfaces.

How to use color

  • Ink and Paper carry almost everything. Signal Orange is an accent, not a background for text-heavy areas.
  • Use Signal Orange for the single main action of an area, with an Ink label. Its border is Ink in light mode and Signal Orange in dark mode (--tv-action-border).
  • Never use Signal Orange or Lavender to mean a status. Status has its own tones, always with an icon and the literal state.
  • A person's decision, such as a human approval, is solid Ink so it is never confused with a passed check.

Spacing and shape

Spacing follows a 4px scale. Corners stay small and consistent so content, not chrome, stands out.

Accessibility and contrast

Ratios below are calculated from the exact color values with the WCAG 2.1 formula, for both themes.

  • Body text and labels reach at least 4.5:1 against their background; focus rings and control borders reach at least 3:1.
  • Every interactive element keeps a visible focus ring: 2px, offset 3px, in the focus color.
  • Status is never color alone. Pair the tone with an icon and the literal state, such as “Blocked”.
  • Give logo images the accessible name “TaskVoice”, and name an icon-only home link “TaskVoice home”.
  • Respect reduced motion: show the static logo instead of the entrance or loader animation.
