SP Springfield Brand guidelines

Hosted Smithers workflows, Springfield style

Useful automation with a sunny disposition.

Springfield is a visual workflow studio for people who need serious operational tools without the enterprise gray fog. The brand should feel bright, legible, slightly mischievous, and dependable under pressure.

Identity

Fun first, operational always.

01

Make the invisible visible

Every workflow, charge, cap, and run state should have an obvious visual home.

02

Use color as a signal

Big color moments are welcome, but controls, status, and hierarchy stay crisp.

03

Keep the joke in the margins

Copy can wink. Interfaces should still be fast to scan and hard to misuse.

Logo

Round seal, sturdy wordmark.

The seal carries the friendly tone. The wordmark carries the product credibility.

Use

Pair the seal with the wordmark in headers, docs, and product shells. Use the standalone seal for favicons, avatars, and tight toolbar spaces.

Avoid

Do not stretch, rotate, add gradients to the seal, or place the yellow seal on low-contrast yellow backgrounds.

Palette

Simpsons energy, product discipline.

Use Springfield Yellow as the brand anchor, then balance it with sky, nuclear green, donut pink, and a reliable ink.

Springfield Yellow #FFD90F Primary brand, active states, highlights
Sky Blue #70B7E4 Info, canvases, calm panels
Nuclear Green #7AC143 Success, live endpoints, confirmations
Donut Pink #F57BB0 Celebration, accents, empty states
Couch Orange #F15A24 Warnings, spend attention, hot paths
Control Ink #2F3133 Text, borders, primary contrast

Typography

Rounded, readable, never wobbly.

Use a rounded system stack for the brand voice, with strong weights and generous line height. Interface text stays compact and direct.

Display Workflow, meet daylight. ui-rounded, Avenir Next Rounded, Nunito, system-ui
Interface Endpoint live

Run status, spend cap, async result URL, and payment state are shown in plain language.

Voice

Plainspoken, useful, lightly amused.

Say

"Endpoint is live. Calls now require payment before the workflow starts."

Do not say

"Your monetized autonomous graph has been activated."

Tone knobs

Confident over clever. Specific over cute. Colorful nouns are fine; vague product theater is not.

Application

Build interfaces like colorful control rooms.
