Logo
Three variants for different backgrounds and contexts. All SVG. Use the sage version on light backgrounds; dark version on photos or dark surfaces.
Color palette
Click any swatch to copy the hex value. Sage is primary; terracotta is the accent; cream is the surface.
Typography
Two free web fonts. Lora (serif) for headlines and quotes. Inter (sans-serif) for body and UI.
Brand voice
Four principles that make Connected content feel like Connected.
Practice > fix
Frame Connected as a daily practice couples do together, not a fix for a broken relationship.
Specific > generic
"You answer one question each night" beats "Improve your communication." Concrete mechanism over abstract benefit.
Name the framework
Gottman's bids, EFT attunement, behavioral self-monitoring — clinical precision builds credibility.
Invitation > sales
No manufactured urgency. No "game-changer." Treat readers like adults.
Usage rules
Quick reference for common decisions.
Do
- Use Sage as the primary color and Terracotta as the accent — not the other way around.
- Pair Lora (serif) with Inter (sans) — these two are the brand.
- Keep 25%-of-logo-height clear space around the mark.
- Use the dark-version mark on photos or dark backgrounds.
- Render everything at 2× for retina screens.
- Quote Josh as "Josh Crane, LPCC" — credential always included.
Don't
- Stretch, rotate, or recolor the logo mark. Download a variant instead.
- Swap in different fonts that "kind of look like Lora."
- Use emoji hearts as a substitute for the logo.
- Add drop shadows, gradients, or outlines to the mark.
- Use the logo in running text — use the wordmark instead.
- Use Josh's name or likeness in a way that implies endorsement of unrelated products.
