Logo Downloads
Download the GMRZE logo in various formats. Use the wordmark when space allows, and the lettermark for small spaces like favicons.
Logo on Backgrounds
The logo should always have enough contrast against its background. Here's how it looks on different colors.
Logo Usage Rules
Minimum Sizes
Never use the logo below these minimum sizes to maintain legibility.
| Wordmark (digital) | 120px wide minimum |
| Lettermark (favicon/icon) | 32×32px minimum |
| Clear space | Equal to height of "G" |
Do's and Don'ts
Spacing
Maintain clear space around the logo to ensure legibility and visual impact. The minimum clear space is defined by the height of the "G" lettermark, referred to as 1x below.
| General Spacing Unit (1x) | Height of the "G" lettermark |
| Minimum clear space | 1x on all sides |
| Recommended clear space | 1.5x on all sides |
Wordmark Clear Space
Lettermark Clear Space
Partnership Logo Placement
When the GMRZE logo appears alongside a partner's logo, follow these guidelines to ensure both brands are represented equally and clearly. GMRZE does not use vertical (stacked) partnership layouts.
Wordmark
Place logos side by side with a vertical divider between them. Both logos should be optically equal in height.
Lettermark
When using the lettermark in a partnership context, maintain equal sizing and use a vertical divider.
Rules
| Layout | Side by side only — vertical/stacked layouts are not permitted |
| Equal sizing | Both logos must appear optically equal in height |
| Divider spacing | 1x clear space on each side of the divider |
| Divider color | rgba(248, 248, 242, 0.2) or 20% opacity of text color |
| Backgrounds | Use a shared background that works for both logos |
| Never | Overlap, interlock, or combine logos into one mark |
Brand Voice
GMRZE communicates directly and honestly. No corporate jargon, no filler, no fluff. Say what you mean in the fewest words possible.
Do
- "This tool formats SQL templates."
- "Works with Python 3.10+."
- "Something broke? Open an issue."
- "No tracking. No cookies. No BS."
Don't
- "We are excited to announce our innovative solution..."
- "Leverage synergies to drive engagement..."
- "We would love to hear your feedback!"
- "Our cutting-edge, best-in-class platform..."
| Tone | Direct, honest, technical |
| Audience | Developers who value their time |
| Avoid | Buzzwords, hype, filler phrases, exclamation marks |
| Prefer | Short sentences, active voice, concrete facts |
Iconography
GMRZE exclusively uses Tabler Icons, licensed under the MIT License. No other icon sets are permitted. All icons are 24×24, stroke-based, and use currentColor for theming.
Outline vs. Filled
Use outlined icons by default. Use filled variants only to indicate an active or selected state.

A selection of Tabler icons used across the site.
| Icon set | Tabler Icons (exclusively) |
| License | MIT License |
| Size | 24×24px (default), stroke-width 2 |
| Default style | Outlined |
| Active state | Filled variant of the same icon |
| Color | currentColor — inherits from parent element |
Animations & Loading
Animations serve a purpose. They communicate state, not decoration. If something is instant, do not animate it.
| Instant (<100ms) | No animation. Show the result immediately. |
| Short (100ms–1s) | Subtle transition (opacity, transform). No spinner needed. |
| Medium (1s–3s) | Skeleton screens or placeholder animations. Keep the layout stable. |
| Long (>3s) | Progress bar (preferred), skeleton, or spinner. Always show progress when possible. |
Rules
| Progress bars | Preferred for long operations. Use them whenever actual progress is measurable. |
| Skeletons | Use when the layout is known but content is loading. Preserves perceived performance. |
| Spinners | Last resort. Only when progress is indeterminate and layout is unknown. |
| Easing | ease for general transitions. No bouncing or elastic effects. |
| Duration | 150ms for micro-interactions (hover, focus). 300ms for layout transitions. |
| Never | Animate something that can be shown instantly. No decorative animations. |
