AIEE.DEV
A single, implementation-ready system for how AIEE.DEV looks, sounds, and shows up across product, marketing, social, print, and partner touchpoints—white-first, education-led, enterprise-credible.
This guide is written for designers, marketers, educators, and vendors. It connects brand rules to the live product (tokens, layouts, components) so executions stay consistent from Figma to production.
Social examples below are high-fidelity illustrative layouts that show how approved logo, color, and copy sit inside common profile and channel patterns—not screenshots of third-party products, and not implied endorsement.
Illustrative UI chrome only; align final exports to each platform’s latest asset specs and brand policies.
AIEE.DEV is precise, calm, and education-first: generous white space, crisp typography, and interfaces that feel lightweight rather than loud.
Default surfaces are white or near-white; accent color is used sparingly for actions and focus. This balances corporate trust with a Gen‑Z minimalist aesthetic—clean grids, subtle borders, no visual noise.
In external communications, lead with outcomes for learners and organizations—clarity over hype, evidence over slogans, and inclusive language that respects classrooms and workplaces worldwide.
Write for busy professionals and curious learners: short sentences, concrete verbs, and explicit next steps. Prefer active voice; avoid jargon unless you define it once.
Enterprise credibility comes from specificity—name the skill, the cohort, and the measurable outcome. Gen‑Z accessibility comes from plain language, respectful humor only when on-brand, and zero condescension.
Calls to action should be singular per surface (one primary outcome). Error and system messages stay calm, blame-free, and solution-oriented.
Show real learning contexts: diverse classrooms, hybrid teams, and hands-on practice with clear light and shallow depth-of-field where appropriate. Avoid stock clichés (overly perfect smiles, fake whiteboards).
Color grade neutrally so UI blues and whites stay true; do not tint photography to match the accent color unless art-directed for a campaign.
When placing the logo on photography, use a white or neutral panel or soft gradient scrim behind the mark to preserve contrast.
Primary mark is the AIEE.DEV wordmark (bold, tight tracking). When a site logo image is configured in admin settings, it may appear alongside or instead of the wordmark in product chrome—never mix competing marks in one lockup.
Sample
Do not
Download the approved AIEE.DEV wordmark as SVG or PNG. It matches the live navbar logotype. Older circular-icon or alternate lockup artwork is not the primary brand mark unless your team has explicitly approved it.

AIEE.DEV wordmark
Primary logo: the four-letter AIEE.DEV logotype only—bold sans-serif with tight tracking, matching the site header.
The approved brand palette for communications is **two tokens only**: an off-white canvas (`--brand-bg`) and a dark navy text color (`--brand-text`). Do not introduce extra accent colors for brochures, slides, or marketing unless a separate campaign is explicitly approved.
Prefer system or geometric sans-serif stacks already used in marketing layouts; keep headings sentence or title case for a modern, approachable tone.
Default body and UI text use the CSS variable --font-sans-stack: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, then `ui-sans-serif` and `system-ui` fallbacks. That is what visitors see on marketing pages and most app surfaces.
The downloadable AIEE.DEV wordmark files use Arial Bold in SVG/PNG so they stay consistent with typical system rendering and the navbar.
Some dashboard and tool headings use Kanit (loaded from Google Fonts), applied with the Tailwind class `font-kanit` on specific components.
Where quizzes and learning content render mathematics, KaTeX loads its own fonts for formulas.
Reference in code (globals.css)
--font-sans-stack: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;The product does not embed Inter for body text; the stack above is authoritative. For Figma, slides, or PDFs where you need one installable family that reads similarly, use Inter (SIL Open Font License)—optional, not a substitute for the live stack in specs.
Inter (variable, Latin)
Optional for mockups and static comps; pair with `--brand-bg` and `--brand-text` for on-brand layouts. Not the same files as production body text.
Helvetica Neue is a commercial typeface: obtain appropriate desktop licenses from your font vendor if you typeset print or Office files with it.
Use only these two CSS variables for brand surfaces and typography: `--brand-bg` for backgrounds and `--brand-text` for all primary body copy and headings (dark navy / near-black). Do not add a separate “accent” color for charts or highlights in external-facing materials.
--brand-bgApplication and long-form marketing backgrounds (off-white).
--brand-textPrimary body copy and headings.
Other variables may exist in code for UI chrome; for brand-correct brochures, decks, and flyers, stick to `--brand-bg` and `--brand-text`. Theme settings can override hex values—verify contrast (WCAG) after any change.
Preview (brand palette)
Most public pages follow a simple vertical rhythm: global navbar → hero → supporting sections → footer wordmark. Content blocks use a single-column stack on small screens and widen into grids at `lg` breakpoints.
+--------------------------------------------------+ | [ Nav | AIEE.DEV | Menu ...................

ASCII wireframe — spacing and section order, not pixel layout.
The live product is a Next.js application with authenticated areas for educators, students, and admins. Public marketing routes share the same design language but avoid authenticated data.
Request path
Client (browser)
React/Next.js pages, client components for interactive UI, Clerk for sign-in state.
Edge & APIs
Route handlers under `/api/*` for quizzes, settings, uploads, billing hooks, and webhooks.
Data & services
MongoDB for app data; file storage integrations; AI provider APIs for generation features.
Corporate stationery
Illustrative print previews—not to scale; supply vendors PDF/X with bleed and your approved Pantone or CMYK builds.
Use these values on letterhead, business cards, lanyard inserts, and event badges. They are loaded from your public site settings; update them in Admin so vendors and this page stay aligned.
Letterhead
A4 or US Letter; mark and wordmark top-left, generous margins, contact block anchored bottom-left.
Business card
Typical 85×55 mm; front shows mark + name/title; reverse may carry a QR to the website.
Envelope
Return address aligned to the margin grid; position mark for stamp zone or flap per envelope template.
Gen‑Z minimalist (white-back)
Thank-you / note card
Maximum whitespace; one hairline rule or a tiny corner mark—no dense body copy.
Sticker & decal
Single-color or duotone mark; white vinyl or transparent stock for laptops and gear.
Slide / one-pager
16:9 decks or a print one-pager: white field, one accent, oversized headline, minimal bullets.
Events, staff & wearables
Lanyard & badge holder
Strap + clip + vertical insert: mark and name hierarchy clear at arm’s length; use brand neutrals for strap unless event art directs otherwise.
Staff / visitor ID
CR80 horizontal: header band for brand; photo and text fields aligned to a simple grid; QR only if required by security policy.
Pocket folder
Cover for first impression; spine readable on a shelf; inner pocket keeps collateral crisp—export print PDF with dieline from your vendor.
Primary actions use filled primary color; secondary actions use outline or ghost buttons. Links are text-colored with underline on hover where appropriate.
Brochures, flyers, posters, and booth graphics should feel as calm and precise as the digital product: generous white space, the AIEE.DEV wordmark, token-based color, and usually one clear call to action per piece.
Brochures & booklets — Bi-fold, tri-fold, or saddle-stitched: lead with an outcomes-led headline, use approved typography, and place the AIEE.DEV wordmark on the cover or inside front; avoid crowding with unrelated graphics.
Flyers & handouts — Single sheets or rack cards for events and campuses: one primary message, scannable bullets, optional QR to a landing page; reserve dense legal copy for an appendix if required.
Posters & pull-up banners — Readable at a distance: large headline or wordmark, minimal body copy, and photography that follows the imagery section of this guide.
One-pagers & sell sheets — Partner or district leave-behinds: white or off-white base, a simple product diagram or stat callout, and the same vertical rhythm as the marketing wireframe (hero → proof → CTA).
Stickers, table tents & swag — Single-color wordmark on white or brand neutrals at small sizes; test legibility at arm’s length before production.
Deliver print vendors PDF/X (or native files with fonts outlined / linked), 3 mm bleed on full-bleed pieces, and keep live text inside the safe margin your template specifies.
Provide CMYK or Pantone builds from your approved primary and neutrals; proof on coated vs uncoated stock.
Place logos and photography at 300 dpi at final size for typical offset/digital sheet printing; large-format vinyl may use lower resolution—confirm with the vendor.
Large-format backdrops and booth walls: extend backgrounds with bleed, check viewing distance so type stays sharp, and align hero content to the safe area on the vendor’s dieline.
These starter layouts use the AIEE.DEV wordmark, off-white field, and dark type—aligned with --brand-bg and --brand-text. Replace placeholder copy with your campaign; keep one primary message per piece. Download the SVGs and edit in Illustrator, Figma, or Affinity.
Event & campus posters — Common sizes A2, A1, or regional equivalents: headline, short subcopy, wordmark, optional QR to a landing page. Use 3 mm bleed on full-bleed backgrounds.
Pull-up / roll-up banners — Typical tall format (~850×2000 mm): logo, headline, one proof line, footer CTA strip; proof at 3–5 m viewing distance.
Event poster (A2 proportion)
Matches the downloadable SVG: wordmark, headline band, bullets, QR zone—export PDF/X for your printer with bleed.
Pull-up banner
Narrow vertical: stack brand, headline, dark CTA bar; safe area depends on stand hardware—confirm with vendor.
Social media formats
Use the wordmark or approved logo centered on white or light neutral for profile images where possible. Keep critical content inside safe zones—platform UI overlays avatars and corners.
Official platform marks for identification (trademarks belong to their owners).
Live-style layout examples
Each card pairs the specification table with a realistic composition: where the avatar, cover, and headline read together. Export production assets from the master templates your team maintains in design tools—dimensions in the table are typical as of publication.
Illustrative layouts inspired by common social UI patterns. Trademarks belong to their owners; AIEE.DEV mockups are for brand guidance only.
Instagram
Profile, grid, and vertical video
Avatar is legible at 320×320; grid tiles should not carry fine print. For Stories/Reels, treat the bottom ~250px and top ~150px as reserved for platform UI—place titles and stickers above that band.

Facebook
Page cover and overlapping avatar
The 820×312 cover is often cropped on mobile; center key message and logo. The circular profile (170×170) overlaps the cover—design both in one canvas so the transition stays intentional, not accidental.

Professional banner and headline block
Banner 1584×396: keep wordmark and tagline inside the central safe area. Profile at 400×400 should remain simple (mark on white) while the cover carries the narrative for recruiters and partners.
AIEE.DEV
X (Twitter)
Dark UI and high-contrast header
Header 1500×500: avoid mid-gray type on charcoal; test in dark mode. Profile 400×400 on near-black timelines should use white-backed logo artwork for crisp edges.

TikTok
Full-screen vertical (9:16)
Assume on-screen captions, share sheet, and profile chrome consume the bottom fifth. Keep faces, logos, and critical copy out of that band; end cards may include a single AIEE.DEV wordmark on white.

YouTube
Channel banner and video shelf
Banner 2560×1440 with a desktop safe area of 1546×423—place logo and value proposition there, then verify TV and tablet crops. Profile 800×800 reads next to video titles; keep it bold and minimal.
