What Carbon Forge is
Carbon Forge keeps code, files and prose in one record on the server, and people and agents read and write it through the same tools. It is built by 100monkeys AI, Inc. The product page is carbonforge.dev.
Download the logo files
Every file below is a direct link. The brand kit zip holds all of them and a short LICENSE-and-USAGE.txt. The files may be used only to present your partnership or sponsorship with 100monkeys AI, or to link to carbonforge.dev. They may not be altered, and they may not be used to suggest that Carbon Forge or 100monkeys AI endorses your own product.
The mark

Icons and link preview
The name
- Write Carbon Forge: two words, capital C and capital F.
- Where you name the company behind it, write Carbon Forge by 100monkeys AI.
- Never CarbonForge, Carbon forge, Carbon-Forge or CF.
- Carbon Forge was earlier called Cortex, and before that Nuclear Notes. Do not use either name.
The lockup and the mark
The mark is a carbon ring around an ember. The lockup is the mark beside the name, composed as this site composes it in its header and its link previews; it is not a separately drawn wordmark. Use the lockup wherever there is room for it: a sponsor wall, a slide, a page footer, a poster. Use the mark alone only where the space is square or too small for the lockup, such as a square sponsor tile or a slide corner, and with the name written out nearby.
- Light backgrounds (white, light grey, light photos): the light lockup or the mark for light backgrounds.
- Dark backgrounds (black, dark colours, dark photos): the dark lockup or the mark for dark backgrounds.
- One-colour printing, embroidery or engraving: the one-colour mark in dark or light ink, whichever contrasts with the surface.
Clear space
Keep empty space around the lockup and around the mark of at least half the mark's height on every side. No text, edge or other logo enters that space.
Minimum sizes
- Lockup: at least 120 px wide on screen, 30 mm wide in print.
- Mark alone: at least 16 px on screen, 6 mm in print.
Colours
These are the colour tokens of carbonforge.dev. The logo files already use them; you need them only to match a background or an accent.
| Name | Hex | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Ink | #0b0e14 | The mark and the name on light backgrounds; text on the light site. |
| Paper | #eef0f4 | The mark and the name on dark backgrounds; text on the dark site. |
| Ember | #ff7a3d | The centre of the mark on dark backgrounds, and the accent of the dark site. |
| Ember, deep | #c2410c | The centre of the mark on light backgrounds, and the accent of the light site. |
| Night | #08090c | The dark site background, behind the app icons and the link preview. |
| White | #ffffff | The light site background. |
Typography
The site sets its text in the reader's own system sans-serif (ui-sans-serif, system-ui, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, Arial), headings bold with tight letter spacing, and code in the system monospace. The name in the lockup files is set in DejaVu Sans Bold, as the site's link-preview images set it. Use the lockup files rather than typing the name beside the mark in another font.
Do and do not
Do
- Use the files as they are, at their proportions.
- Pick the version made for your background.
- Keep the clear space and the minimum sizes.
- Link the logo to https://carbonforge.dev.
Do not
- Recolour the mark or the name.
- Stretch, squash, rotate or crop it.
- Add shadows, outlines, gradients, glows or other effects.
- Place the mark inside another shape or another logo.
- Use the mark or the name as your own icon, product or event logo.
How to present the sponsorship
What the sponsorship is: a three-month Carbon Forge subscription for your organisers, and a batch of three-month subscriptions to give away to your attendees or members, redeemed with a promo code we agree with you. The plans are described at carbonforge.dev/pricing.
Sentences you may copy
- Carbon Forge subscriptions for this event are sponsored by 100monkeys AI.
- Organisers and attendees can redeem a three-month Carbon Forge subscription with the promo code shared at the event.
- Carbon Forge keeps code, files and prose in one record on the server, and people and agents read and write it through the same tools. See carbonforge.dev.
Where to link
Link to https://carbonforge.dev, as it is. If you want the visits you send counted as yours, add these three parameters, with a short slug for your event or group in place of <your-slug>:
https://carbonforge.dev/?utm_source=<your-slug>&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=sponsorship
For example:
https://carbonforge.dev/?utm_source=example-hack-2026&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=sponsorship
What not to say
- No "powered by Carbon Forge" or "built on Carbon Forge" badge or line, unless your project really runs on it. Carbon Forge sponsors subscriptions; it does not run, host or judge your event.
- No "official partner" or endorsement wording beyond the sponsorship sentence above.
- No prices, discounts or numbers of subscriptions in public posts; the promo code and its terms are the ones we agree with you.
