einkreader / brand

Brand

Logos, the app icon, social images and banners for writing about einkreader, linking to it, or featuring it. Everything comes as SVG where a vector makes sense, and always as PNG — banners and the profile picture also as JPG.

Name

The name is einkreader: one word, all lowercase, even at the start of a sentence. In running text it can be followed by what it is — “einkreader, a reading app for e-ink tablets”.

Logo

The mark is an e-reader showing a feed: the whole idea of the app in one picture. Use the horizontal logo by default, the stacked one when space is square, and the mark alone where the name is already written next to it. On dark backgrounds use the white versions.

App icon

The icon as it appears on the home screen. The square version has no rounded corners, for stores and platforms that apply their own mask.

Social media

Sized for each platform. The profile picture keeps the device inside the circle that most platforms crop to.

Colors

Warm, near-neutral greys that look like paper and ink. They were picked to keep their contrast on an e-ink screen, which only shows shades of grey: never rely on hue alone to carry meaning.

The app itself is pure black on white, for the sharpest text on e-ink. Paper and Ink belong to the icon and marketing images.

Typography

PT Serif Bold
The wordmark and headlines. Also the reading font in the app. Free on Google Fonts.
Roboto Medium
Interface text in the app (Android’s system font).

The logo files have the lettering converted to outlines, so they look right without these fonts installed.

Do’s and don’ts

Do

  • Use the files as they are.
  • Pick the white versions on dark backgrounds.
  • Keep the calm tone: plain words, no hype.
  • Link to einkreader.app when you mention the app.

Don’t

  • Stretch, rotate, recolor or redraw the logo.
  • Add shadows, outlines, gradients or effects.
  • Rearrange the mark and the name, or set the name in another font.
  • Suggest that einkreader endorses your product.
