# nikuniku.ai — Brand guidelines v0.5

2026-10-30

## Our name

Always write nikuniku.ai in lowercase. The wordmark is fixed vector geometry. Use the source asset; never retype it.

## Case & hierarchy

English UI uses sentence case. Technical names retain their official spelling. Code and file paths retain their exact syntax.

## Leave space around the logo

Preserve proportions and negative space. Leave at least 1x around a lockup, preferably 2x. x is the wordmark stem width. A standalone symbol needs space equal to at least 10% of its height.

## Our colors

Use carmine for emphasis and ivory for backgrounds. Show people and model results in their original colors, without brand color filters.

## Typography and tone

Body text uses device system fonts. No external font is loaded or redistributed.

## Icons & integration

Brand symbols, platform icons and product controls have different jobs. Download the right asset for the context.

## Language selection

Use the globe icon for every language entry point, now and in future products. Show language names in their own language. Never substitute country flags. Globe opens the language list. Escape closes it and returns focus. Tab moves through language links.

## Functional icons

Use Lucide for interface actions: a 24 × 24 source grid, a stroke width of 2 source units and currentColor. Strokes scale with the displayed size. Keep familiar symbols for actions such as download, play and close.

## Integration badges

These badges identify the technology used; they do not imply certification or partnership. Attribution and white-label rights follow separately agreed terms. Supporting badge text and clear-space annotations still use system fonts, rather than outlined paths.

## Version 0.5

Implementation candidate. AI editorial checks are recorded; native-speaker and legal approval are not claimed.
