KnowGuard and HotMem Brand Guidelines

HotMem is a KnowGuard product. Use the shared KnowGuard visual system for HotMem materials, with the HotMem-only orange accent defined below.

Shared KnowGuard identity

The visual style is Bioluminescent Deep: dark, engineered, and precise. Avoid generic SaaS aesthetics. The intended reference is a high-frequency trading firm or a defense contractor, with light and network forms used to express memory and computation.

Visual language

Use glowing fiber-optic lattices (the Network), crystalline polyhedrons or engrams (the Core), and green light through darkness (the Beam). Do not use cartoons, literal brains, flat illustrations, or stock office photography.

Logo rules

Use the KnowGuard mark only on #0A1628 or #020617 backgrounds. Do not stretch, rotate, or recolor it. Keep clear space around the mark equal to the height of the K within the icon.

HotMem-only accent

HotMem Orange — #FAB37B is sampled from the flame in hotmem/hotmem-banner.png. It may be used for HotMem-specific warmth, activation, or product highlights. It is not part of the shared KnowGuard palette and must not replace Brand Green as KnowGuard's primary external accent.
