Bax Brand

Everything you need to represent Bax consistently. Logo, colors, typography, voice, and usage guidelines. This page is not indexed by search engines.

Logo

The Bax logo consists of the logomark (icon) and the wordmark. They can be used together or separately. Always maintain clear space equal to the height of the “b” around the logo.

  • • Don't add effects (shadows, outlines, gradients) to the logo

Voice & Tone

Bax speaks like a sharp dev friend — not a marketing department.

We are

  • Direct. Say it in fewer words. Lead with the point.
  • Technical but clear. Assume they code. Don't assume they know DevOps.
  • Empathetic. They're juggling a day job + 3 side projects + a life.
  • Slightly irreverent. Dry humor. Real talk. No hype.
  • Show, don't tell. Screenshots, GIFs, real data over adjectives.

We never

  • Use corporate jargon. No “synergy,” “leverage,” “empower,” “solution.”
  • Over-promise. No “revolutionary” or “game-changing.”
  • Use excessive emojis. Zero in product UI. Sparingly in social.
  • Talk down. The audience is smart. Respect that.
  • Write walls of text. If you can say it in one sentence, don't use three.
