Brand

Known is about meeting people in real life, not collecting matches. The brand should feel the way a good first date does: warm, calm, and real. We keep the focus on the people and the moments, not the app.

Using the Known name or marks somewhere? Find everything you need to download below. Show us where they’ll go and we’ll take a look.

Aura

How it should feel.

  • Real moments

    We show real people and real dates, not a highlight reel. If it looks staged, it's wrong.

  • Liquid light

    Our surfaces are glassy and soft. Light moves through them, edges blur, nothing sits flat or dead.

  • Felt, not just seen

    The app responds under your thumb. Things have weight, and the haptics actually mean something.

    Keep full contrast with the background.

  • Do

    Scale the whole mark proportionally.

    Don't recolor the mark.

    Don't stretch or distort it.

    Don't add shadows, glows, or outlines.

    Don't rotate or tilt it.

  • Don't

    Don't place it on a busy, low-contrast field.

Palette

Cream, black, and a little red

Cream and black do most of the work. Ruby is the accent, used sparingly. Tap any swatch to copy the hex.

Typography

Switzer, with a serif accent

Switzer does almost everything. Rhymes Text shows up rarely, for the occasional headline.

    Editorial accent

    A serif we use rarely, for the occasional large headline.
