Logo Usage

Do

Use the transparent pixel-art logo at natural proportions. Keep edges crisp with image-rendering: pixelated when practical.

Do

Use the snail-only icon for favicon, app icons, compact navigation, and small social marks.

Don't

Blur, bevel, recolor into gradients, stretch, rotate, or place the logo on busy photographic backgrounds.

Transparent Logo Checks

The primary logo and icon assets use transparent backgrounds so they sit cleanly on warm paper, white, coral, and Forest green surfaces.

UI Tone

PostSnail UI should feel like a fast handmade tool: crisp borders, square corners, strong labels, honest copy, lightweight analytics when explicitly requested, and no platform-lock-in language.

Public pages can be expressive. The admin stays compact and task-first because creators use it repeatedly to write, verify, back up, and export.
