Brand Guidelines

Candide is named after Voltaire's novel. The story ends with a single, practical instruction: "We must cultivate our garden." Our leaf symbol comes from that garden. It represents what we do. Build infrastructure that helps things grow.

// the mark

Logo System

The full logo combines the leaf symbol with the wordmark. Use the reduced mark alone only when the product name is already established in context. Always ensure contrast and legibility against the background.

Black dominates every composition. The accent color provides energy and identity. White appears sparingly for contrast when emphasis requires it.
