Make it feel like Pothos.

Everything a creator, writer, or designer needs to make content that feels unmistakably us — warm, grounded, and rooted in growth. Bookmark it, share it, build from it.

01 — Logo

One leaf, one wordmark, lots of breathing room.

The mark is a sprouting leaf in a forest-green circle paired with the Pothos Health wordmark. Give it space and keep it simple.

Keep clear space equal to the height of the leaf icon on all sides. Never stretch, recolor, or add effects to the mark.

02 — Color

Forest green, grounded by warm earth tones.

Deep forest green leads. Clay and blush add warmth. Sand and cream keep things calm and breathable.

05 — Do's & Don'ts

Quick rules before you hit publish.

Do

  • Lead with empathy — speak to the person, not the diagnosis.
  • Keep language plain and human; explain clinical terms simply.
  • Use plenty of negative space and natural light imagery.
  • Pair the forest green with one warm accent (clay or blush).
  • Reference growth, roots, and steady progress.

Don't

  • Don't make promises of a 'cure' or guaranteed outcomes.
  • Don't use stock imagery of sad faces or stigmatizing visuals.
  • Don't stretch, recolor, or add effects to the logo.
  • Don't crowd layouts — avoid wall-to-wall text.
  • Don't use slang that undercuts trust or safety.

Named for the pothos plant — adaptable, patient, and always growing toward the light. Let that spirit shape everything you make.
