The arch
A narthex is the entrance hall. The open arch is the gateway every request passes through, and it stays open at the base because traffic flows both ways.
SynaxisThe logo system
A synaxis is a gathering, an assembly brought together in one place. The mark says exactly that: many paths entering one arch, converging on a single point.
Converging paths
Two strokes rising from the threshold and meeting under the arch. They are the accounts you connect, gathered rather than listed.
One node
The single filled point is the aggregate endpoint. It is the only solid element in the mark, so the eye lands there first.
Navy to forest
Navy through teal to forest at 135 degrees. Praxis is the parent design system Synaxis inherits from — same palette, same type, shared across its products. The gradient is never recoloured per surface.
Lockups
SynaxisHorizontal lockup
The default. Mark at cap height, gap equal to one arch stem. Wordmark is DM Sans 600 at minus 22 tracking.
SynaxisStacked
Narrow columns, splash screens, merchandise.
VariantsPick by what sits behind the logo
Gradient
Light and quiet surfaces. The default.
Reversed
Sidebar, dark UI, photography.
On brand gradient
White only. Never gradient on gradient.
Mono ink
One-colour print, embossing, fax.
Clear space
Keep clear space equal to one quarter of the mark’s height on every side. Nothing enters it, including type, rules, and the edge of the canvas.

Third-party marksIdentification only
Granola
GranolaNeutral ground
Marks sit on surface/raised with a subtle border. Never on an accent fill, a semantic tint, or the Synaxis gradient.
Never altered
No recolouring, outlining, rotation, stretching or effects. If a mark will not read at the size you need, set the provider’s name as text instead.
No endorsement
Marks identify which service an account connects to. They must never be arranged to imply partnership, sponsorship or approval.
