Guidelines

How to use the guidelines

The pages in this tier are the executional rules — logo, colour, type, motion, voice. Each one gives you a principle, the rule, do's and don'ts, and the assets to do it correctly.

The stance

Autara's visual brand is the clean slate. A light surface, a single greeting, restraint as a position. We trust ARI to know what someone needs better than a navigation bar does — and the visual brand makes that trust legible.

This is not minimalism as a trend. It is a stance about who controls attention. Every rule that follows serves it.

How each page works

  • Principle — one line on what the element is and why it matters.
  • The rule — concise and imperative.
  • Do / don't — the boundary, shown both ways.
  • Downloads — the assets, where applicable, behind a light email wall.
  • Source of truth — a link to the governing brand artefact. The hub publishes the rule; the repo owns it.

Two holds to know about

Two parts of the system are deliberately not yet published: the pillar colour palette (held until positioning resolves the architecture) and any secondary mascot mark (under exploration). Neither appears in customer-facing surfaces until ratified.
