The mascot

Obi wears an oxblood blazer and a 1980s computer for a head. His plaque reads AI Search Employee. His eyes are drawn by the page: they blink, follow your pointer, and smile when you point at the Hire key.

  • Use him as he is: never redrawn, never regenerated, never a flat drawing.
  • His blazer stays oxblood.

The wordmark

Obi in Helvetica Neue Bold, its O awake: an ink disc with his eyes by day, a bone disc by night.

Obi wordmark, bone
  • At least 16 px tall.
  • Ink on light grounds, bone on dark ones. Never another colour.
