Brand guidelines.

A working reference for everything VirtuProbe Studio touches — landing page, docs, social, packaging. Not a museum: edit when reality demands it.

The mark

Dagger in a hex.

A precision instrument inside a tessellating field — the icon for a tool that probes systems with intent. The dagger reads as offensive tooling; the hex grid reads as systems and structure. The mint→lime gradient is the only sanctioned brand gradient.

Use the mark wherever space is tight (favicon, app icon, social avatar). Use a wordmark lockup whenever the surface allows it.

Rules. Surfaces stack: bg → bg-1 → bg-2. The gradient appears on the mark and at most one hero element per page. The flat --neon token is the workhorse for links, focus, and CTAs. Never use neon for body copy.

Wordmark lockup

Min height 28px. Below this, drop the wordmark and use the mark alone.

Clearspace

Voice

04 / Tone

Confident, technical, occasionally cheeky. We respect the reader's time and intelligence. We never bluff. If something's a beta, we say beta.

Do

Speak like a senior engineer reviewing a PR. This chains 14 requests in 80ms. Yours doesn't.
Use precise verbs. Probe the endpoint. Chain the response. Replay until it breaks.
Keep humor dry and earned. If your test plan ends at HTTP, half your bugs ship to prod.
Show, then tell. Lead with a code or screenshot, follow with a sentence.

Don't

Sound like enterprise marketing. Unleash synergies across your API surface.
Posture about hacking. Dominate every endpoint. Pwn the gateway.
Use AI-fluff hedges. Empower teams to leverage requests holistically.
Pile on adjectives. One sharp word beats three soft ones.
