Open
Four flaps invite the next project.
Introduction
Less searching. More making. Space Works is free, open-source software for makerspaces and tool libraries, and its brand is built the way a good workshop is: open, organized and full of energy.
An open invitation
Section titled “An open invitation”The symbol is a familiar box, built for a space full of possibilities.
Organized
A clear structure gives every part a place.
Energetic
Teal grounds it. Orange gets it moving.
The brand at a glance
Section titled “The brand at a glance”- Name. Write Space Works in copy. The wordmark is lowercase space works. Keep technical names
(like the
SpaceWorksrepository) accurate. - Logo. Use the supplied masters. Never stretch, rotate, recolour or add effects. Keep a quarter of the symbol height clear on every side. Logo rules →
- Mascot. Patch, the painted wolf, is the friendly face for empty states, onboarding and merch. The box symbol stays the logo. Meet Patch →
- Colour. Neutral first, accent second. Seven exact colours, and only tested text pairs. Never orange text on cream. Every status gets a word or an icon, not just a colour. Colour →
- Type. Gilroy for everything you read. Unbounded for one short, expressive phrase per layout. Typography →
- Layout. Use one bold moment, align to a simple grid, and let empty space do its job. Graphics →
- Voice. Clear, warm and specific. Make the next step easy. Voice →
Where it comes from
Section titled “Where it comes from”The visual identity comes only from the Space Works brand guidelines, exported from the Figma file on 15 October 2026. This site publishes that kit; when the two disagree, the guidelines win. How screens behave comes from Space Works UX, our interaction system.
