Brand Guidelines
Warm signal,
quiet horizon.
Murph imagery feels spacious, warm, and quietly cinematic. Real light, real distance, no performance theatre.
Logo
The mark is a field of quiet data points drawn into a warm center. Clarity without coldness — evidence, care, and measurable change.
Use the wordmark on light and dark backgrounds. Keep it calm, spacious, and uncluttered. Don't lock it up with taglines.

Image Direction

Wide horizon. Small figure. Warm light. Room for copy.
Big horizon, small human
Wide scenes with large negative space. One person held small, off-center, near an edge. The scene stays open and breathable.
Warm light over loud color
Amber-gold sunrise or sunset light, soft haze, low-contrast tonal shifts. If it feels neon, icy, or synthetic — it's not Murph.
Calm before information
A quiet field where signal can emerge. No busy props, tech hardware, graphs, dashboards, or floating metrics.
Space for copy
Preserve a calm side for typography. When cropping, keep one clear text lane rather than centering the subject.
Avoid
Labs. Floating UI. Stock-wellness smiles. Neon. Glossy biohacker aesthetics. Saturated teal-purple gradients. Victory poses. Clinical sterility.
Interactive Hero Concept
Cursor-reactive background
Data that moves softly around your attention.
Large blurred dot clusters drift in the background. Hover shifts the field gently instead of screaming for attention.
