Brand guidelines · v1.0
Precise, calm, and built to reconcile.
Integrater sits between a business's payments and its books. Our brand should feel the same way the product works: exact, trustworthy, and quietly confident. Use these guidelines for product, marketing, and partner materials.
01
Logo
The mark pairs a stacked blue “i” — two ledger blocks locking into place — with a lowercase charcoal wordmark. Always use the supplied artwork; never redraw it.

Primary logo
Full color, for light backgrounds
Clear space

Keep a margin equal to the height of the upper block of the mark (x) on every side. No text, edges, or imagery inside this zone.
Minimum size
32px
24px minNever render the full logo below 24px tall on screen or 0.3in in print. Below that, the wordmark loses legibility.
Backgrounds

Approved:White or card

Approved:Off-white surface

Avoid:Charcoal or blue
The full-color logo is designed for light, low-contrast surfaces. Avoid placing it on dark fills or photography, where the charcoal wordmark disappears.
Misuse

Don't stretch or squash

Don't rotate

Don't recolor

Don't reduce opacity

Accessibility
- Blue on white passes WCAG AA for body text (4.6:1). White text on blue buttons passes at the same ratio.
- Green on white is 3.5:1 — use it for icons, indicators, and text 18px or larger, never for small body copy.
- Never rely on green or red alone to convey status. Pair color with an icon or label.

Set money in mono with tabular figures so columns align. Use a true minus sign (−), always show two decimals, and right-align amounts.
04
Voice & tone
We sound like the most reliable person on the finance team: clear, specific, and unflappable.
01
Exact, not exaggerated
We work with money. Say “up to 100%” when it’s up to 100%. Specific numbers beat superlatives every time.
02
Calm about compliance
Rules are complicated; we make them feel handled. Explain plainly, never use fear to sell.
03
Fluent in accounting
Our readers close books. Use real terms — reconcile, journal entry, GAAP — and use them correctly.
In practice
Do: Offset up to 100% of your card processing fees.
Don't: Never pay a processing fee again!
Do: QuickBooks ties out on its own — no month-end journal entries.
Don't: Our revolutionary AI-powered engine transforms your accounting.
Do: Surcharging rules vary by state. We apply the right one at checkout.
Don't: Avoid massive fines and legal trouble with Integrater.

Interface elements
Hairline borders, a small radius, and the blueprint grid. Shapes stay flat — no heavy shadows, gradients, or glows.
Buttons
One primary button per view. Labels are sentence case and start with a verb.
Badges & status
Radius
Blueprint grid
64px hairline grid · 70% border
The grid is our structural signature. Use it behind hero areas and section headers, faded with a radial mask — never at full strength across body content.
