# Brand applications

> How the brand flexes across contexts — website, mobile app, documentation, social media, and presentations.

## Platform adaptation

Same brand DNA, adapted to each context. "Hide complexity, reveal intelligence" applies to brand expression too. Each platform has its own personality within the shared identity — the website is the richest editorial experience, the mobile app distills the brand to essentials, and documentation strips away personality for clarity.

The goal is never uniformity. It is recognition. A user should move from the website to the app to the docs and feel like they are in the same ecosystem, even though the tone and density shift.

## Per-platform guidelines

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Website (thisiswhyimhigh.com)">
    The website is the richest expression of the brand — the full editorial experience with room to breathe.

    **Technical foundation:**

    * Astro 5 + React 19 + Tailwind v4
    * Light-mode only (dark mode is explicitly disabled)

    **Visual identity:**

    * Cream (#F7F4ED) background, Pine Green (#18634D) primary
    * Noto Serif for headings, Noto Sans for body text
    * Green-tinted multi-layered shadows (Stripe-inspired depth)
    * Glassmorphism cards with hover lift animations
    * Fluid typography scaling with clamp()

    **Brand expression:**

    * Professor High present in strain reviews, blog posts, and AI chat
    * Full editorial voice with room for personality, humor, and opinion
    * The website is where the brand can be most expansive and expressive
    * Strain pages combine data density with visual clarity

    **Key principle:** Show the full personality. This is where first impressions are formed and where the brand has the most room to differentiate.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Mobile app (High IQ)">
    The mobile app distills the brand to its essentials — every element must earn its screen space.

    **Technical foundation:**

    * React Native + Expo SDK 55
    * iOS-only (Web for development)

    **Visual identity:**

    * Shared Pine Green palette with Sand (#D4C5A0) as a mobile-specific accent
    * Platform-specific shadows (iOS shadow properties, not CSS box-shadow)
    * 48px minimum touch targets for all interactive elements
    * React Native Reanimated for fluid animations

    **Brand expression:**

    * Professor High appears in Ask AI chat as the primary interaction point
    * Copy is concise and actionable — every word must earn its place
    * Data-dense screens use progressive disclosure to avoid overwhelming users
    * Haptic feedback reinforces interactions (centralized via HapticService)

    **Key principle:** Compact and touch-optimized. Strip away anything that does not directly help the user accomplish their task.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Documentation (docs.highailabs.com)">
    Documentation is the most restrained expression of the brand — clarity and helpfulness above all else.

    **Technical foundation:**

    * Mintlify with the "maple" theme
    * Pine Green primary (#18634D), light (#22C55E), dark (#0F2E1F)
    * High IQ logo in the header

    **Tone:**

    * Professional, technical, and neutral
    * Clear and helpful without personality flourishes
    * No Professor High voice or mascot in Help Center, API Reference, and Guides tabs
    * The Brand tab is the exception — it documents Professor High's character and voice directly
    * Standard Mintlify components and conventions

    **Key principle:** Get out of the way. Documentation exists to answer questions as quickly and accurately as possible. Personality is a distraction outside the Brand section.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Blog">
    The blog is Professor High's primary stage — where his voice reaches the widest audience.

    **Content standards:**

    * Professor High as primary author with his avatar in bylines
    * Category-specific visual styles and tones (see [Writing guidelines](/brand/writing-guidelines))
    * AI-generated thumbnails via Gemini (1792x1024, 16:9 aspect ratio)
    * Heavy use of internal linking to strain pages and High Families references

    **Optimization:**

    * Every post optimized for either SEO (search ranking) or GEO (AI citation)
    * Quotable paragraphs in the first 50 words for AI extractability
    * FAQ sections with schema-ready Q\&A format
    * See the [SEO checklist](/brand/writing-guidelines#seo-checklist) and [GEO checklist](/brand/writing-guidelines#geo-checklist)

    **Key principle:** Rank in search, get cited by AI, and sound like Professor High wrote it. Every post should pass the [voice test](/brand/voice-and-tone#the-voice-test).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Social media">
    Social is where the brand voice is sharpest — bold takes, concise delivery, shareable format.

    **Tone:**

    * Bold, personality-forward, and opinionated
    * Professor High as the brand voice
    * Short, punchy takes that provoke curiosity or challenge assumptions
    * "Made with heart and AI in Chicago, Illinois" as a recurring sign-off

    **Visual identity:**

    * Pineapple Yellow (#D98E04) accent for Professor High content
    * Pine Green (#18634D) for product and feature announcements
    * Professor High avatar for profile images and author attribution
    * Clean, data-forward graphics for strain facts and terpene breakdowns

    **Key principle:** Every post should be screenshot-worthy. If it would not get saved or shared, it is not sharp enough.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Presentations and external materials">
    External materials represent the brand to investors, partners, and press — measured but distinctive.

    **Visual identity:**

    * Pine Green + Cream color scheme
    * Noto Serif for titles, Noto Sans for body text
    * Professor High avatar for personality slides (not every slide)
    * Clean, minimal layouts — hide complexity, reveal intelligence

    **Tone:**

    * Measured and data-driven without being dry
    * Lead with specific metrics and outcomes
    * Include "High AI Labs" attribution on all materials
    * Avoid Professor High's casual voice — use the brand's intelligent register instead

    **Key principle:** Let the data speak. Personality should be present but restrained. Investors and partners need confidence, not comedy.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="API and developer contexts">
    Developer-facing contexts are purely functional — no mascot, no personality, just clear information.

    **Tone:**

    * Professional, technical, and precise
    * No Professor High personality or mascot (B2B context)
    * Pine Green branding only — no Pineapple Yellow accents
    * Clear, structured documentation with code examples

    **Standards:**

    * Consistent endpoint naming and response formats
    * Error messages that help developers debug, not entertain
    * See the [API Reference](/api-reference/introduction) for current documentation

    **Key principle:** Developers judge a platform by the quality of its API documentation. Every response example, error code, and authentication step must be precise and trustworthy.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Cross-platform consistency

<Note>
  While each platform adapts the brand, these elements remain constant across every context:

  * **Pine Green (#18634D)** as the primary color
  * **The core promise** of intelligence over opinion
  * **Privacy-first approach** — user data is never sold or used for ads
  * **High Families classification** — the consistent framework for discussing strain effects
  * **Making decisions for the user** — opinionated defaults, not endless configuration
  * **"Hide complexity, reveal intelligence"** — the user sees the result, never the machinery
