The SaaSmyCow brand guide
A friendly little herd of rules that keep our look, voice and vibe consistent. From decks to LinkedIn banners to that one deal we close on a Friday afternoon.
Our mark
01 - Logo & wordmark
The cow, the wordmark, and the lockup that sits in our header and footer. Grab a PNG or SVG for slides and docs, or copy the HTML/CSS to drop the wordmark straight into any page.
Icon
Wordmark
Logo + wordmark
Rendered on a transparent background. Light versions use dark text for light backgrounds; Dark versions use cream text for dark backgrounds.
- Do: keep the cow to the left of the wordmark, with a clear space equal to the cow's ear. Use the light version on dark backgrounds and the dark version on light backgrounds.
- Don't: recolor the cow, rotate her, stretch the wordmark, or replace "my" with a different word.

Display
Fraunces
Used for headlines, big moments, and moo-ments of drama. Weight 700, tight tracking.
Body
System sans
Everything else. Regular to semibold. Muted foreground for supporting copy, foreground for body copy.
H1 ยท The friendly funnel
H2 ยท Growth, without the cringe
H3 ยท A section on your page
Body copy sets the tone: warm, direct, a little playful. Short sentences. Real numbers. No jargon unless we're winking.
Muted copy for captions, meta, footnotes and quiet asides.
How we sound
04 - Voice & tone
Warm
We talk like a smart friend who's been in the trenches - not a gated whitepaper.
Direct
Short sentences. Real numbers. If we can cut a word, we cut it.
Playful (in moderation)
A cow pun per page is plenty. The joke never gets in the way of the point.
Say
- "Book a milking session"
- "Fractional GTM, grown with care"
- "We plug in, ship pipeline, and hand back the reins"
Don't say
- "Synergistic growth solutions"
- "Leverage best-in-class frameworks"
- Any pun involving udders. We have limits.
Grab & go
