Brand guidelines — match Virtus Blockchain Labs

Do not use TokensMarketCap greens/teals (#CB307A / #3A9B9C) as the CryptoBook pivot UI. Those are TMC. Virtus live is black + magenta.
1. Essence
Near-black canvas, magenta–pink energy, frosted glass, big type with tight tracking, pill controls, a faint pink bloom in the corners. Premium engineering. Not neon cyberpunk. Not a dashboard template.
2. Logo
| File | Use |
|---|---|
/root/cryptobook-next/design/virtus-logo.svg |
Dark backgrounds (dual diamond, cyan–blue–purple mark only) |
/root/cryptobook-next/design/virtus-logo-light.svg |
Light backgrounds |
/root/cryptobook-next/app/public/assets/logo.webp |
Favicon / nav raster (copied from Virtus live) |
Do not redraw the mark in pink. The UI is pink; the mark keeps its gradient. Wordmark is text, 700–900, tracking -0.02em.
On a holding page: mark + “Virtus Labs”. Subline may say CryptoBook.

6. Voice
Short. Specific. No “revolutionize.” No “100% secure.” No fake urgency. Admit what the product is not. US English for the holding page; do not invent multilingual until Virtus i18n is reused on purpose.
7. Forbidden brand moves
- Crypto stickers, token tickers, “WAGMI”
- Customer logo rows we cannot name
- SOC 2 / ISO / AI Act badges
- Using the TMC star-T logo instead of the Virtus dual diamond
- Naming a governance toy “CryptoBook AI”
