# Brand Guidelines — Core42 AI Cloud Console

## Purpose
Keep the product UI aligned with the public Core42 AI Cloud marketing direction.

## Product Naming
- Primary product name in UI: `Core42 AI Cloud`.
- Console name: `AI Cloud Console`.
- `GPUaaS` can remain in internal code/package naming, but avoid using it as top-level UI branding.

## Visual Direction
- Theme: light enterprise surfaces with Core42 impact green as the primary accent.
- Primary accent family: Core42 green tones (primary buttons, active navigation, highlights, badges).
- Secondary accent family: AI Cloud cyan/blue can be used sparingly for capacity/technical visualization, not primary actions.
- Typography: modern geometric sans with strong heading hierarchy.
- Avoid dark-default screens for main app shell.

## Logo and Assets
- Use official Core42/AI Cloud logo assets from design/brand team.
- Do not hand-draw or recreate brand marks in production.
- Current UI uses a temporary mark placeholder pending official SVG import.
- External marketing screenshots/images (for example `aicloud.core42.ai/.../Content.png`) may be used as visual reference only.
- Do not hotlink external image URLs in product UI; import approved local assets into the repo.

## App Shell Application
- Sidebar lockup: `core42` + `AI Cloud`.
- Header title: `AI Cloud Console`.
- Auth/login copy references `Core42 AI Cloud`.

## Consistency Rules
- New pages must reuse shell brand tokens from `packages/web/app/globals.css`.
- New components should follow existing border radius, spacing, and color cadence.
- Do not introduce one-off palettes per page.

## Pending Follow-up
- Replace temporary sidebar icon with official brand SVG.
- Confirm legal naming string for footer/help/legal pages with product marketing.
