The NextChatbots identity
A messaging node carrying a forward signal, with an outbound connector arc: the mark is literally a bot passing a verified message onward. Everything below is generated from the same source the product uses, so downloads can never drift from the interface.

Applications
Tone of voice
Precise
State what the product does and what it does not. No implied capability.
Calm
No exclamation marks, no hype, no urgency tricks.
Technical but readable
Use the correct term, then explain it in one sentence.
Honest about limits
Name channel restrictions, sandbox states and unfinished connectors.
Do
- Keep clear space around the logo equal to the height of the symbol
- Use the white logo on Ink Navy or photography
- Use Signal Teal for a single primary action per view
- Label states with the exact vocabulary: Sandbox, Connected, Awaiting approval
Don't
- Recolour the symbol outside the approved palette
- Stretch, rotate or add effects to the logo
- Use Signal Teal as a large background fill
- Describe Login Approval as two-factor authentication on its own
