The Cursor

A bold geometric wordmark — tall ls, minuscule i and o. The purple dot over the o is gone. In its place: a modern cursor over the i, in Signal teal. The mark says what the product does: bring interfaces to life with motion.

01 — Brand idea

The cursor completes the name

Without the cursor, the wordmark is just weight. With it, lilo becomes a verb — click, move, animate. The pointer sits where the letter i expects a tittle, so the accent is both typographic and product-native: every demo this app makes is driven by a cursor.

Never put the cursor over the o. Never replace it with a plain dot. The pointer is the brand’s one chromatic moment.

02 — Construction

Geometry

Drawn on a locked unit grid. Ascender 88u (the two ls), x-height 56u (minuscule i stem and o), stem width 20u, gap 14u. The o is a ring: outer radius 28u, inner radius 8u. A modern Lucide-style pointer sits above the i as its tittle.

asc 88 x 56 o = x-height

Optical rules (locked)

  • The two ls are full ascenders; i and o share x-height — never stretch them to match the ls
  • Cursor is a modern filled pointer (not the classic jagged OS arrow), always Signal (#2FBFB0)
  • Letters are Ink or Paper only — cursor is the sole chromatic moment
  • Corners stay sharp at all sizes; no rounded stems except app-icon tile radius

05 — Color

Ink structure, Paper space, Signal attention

The wordmark is two inks maximum: Ink/Paper for letterforms, Signal for the cursor. Composition ratio: 60% Ink / 30% Paper / 10% Signal. Signal is the product teal from the app — bluish, never purple.

Ink

#000000 · structure, dark surfaces · 60%

Paper

#FFFFFF · light surfaces, reversed mark · 30%

Signal

#2FBFB0 · cursor, accents only · 10%

Carbon

#121418 · UI chrome, body text on Paper

Night

#0B0E13 · dark-mode product surface

Signal Ink

#06211E · text on Signal fields

Accessibility: Ink on Paper = max contrast. Signal is for the cursor and graphic shapes — never for long-form body text. Support: Slate #5C6670 · Mist #A3ABBA · Amber #E2A15A (UI only, not in the mark).

06 — Surfaces

Dark and light map 1:1
