The mark

The SLAKeeper logo consists of a shield mark containing a pulse waveform, paired with the wordmark "SLAKeeper". The shield communicates protection and trust; the pulse line signals live measurement and data. Together they say: we're watching your SLAs in real time.

Icon only

Do

  • Use the logo on dark, white, or light teal backgrounds
  • Maintain the shield and wordmark as a locked unit
  • Use the icon-only mark below 32px or as a favicon
  • Keep clear space equal to the shield width on all sides

Don't

  • Recolour the shield or waveform in non-brand colours
  • Stretch, skew, or rotate the mark
  • Place on busy photographic backgrounds
  • Use the wordmark without the shield mark

Tagline & tone

Real performance.
Not vendor promises.

// Primary tagline — use with the logo or as a standalone statement

The tagline creates a direct contrast between observed benchmarks and marketed SLA claims. It positions SLAKeeper as the objective third party — the source of truth enterprise teams can trust over vendor self-reporting.

Technical & precise

We speak in data, not marketing language. Specific numbers beat vague claims. Percentiles, p95 response times, and uptime measurements are our native vocabulary.

"Atlassian Jira p95 page load: 2,340ms — 22% above your contract threshold."

Confident, not combative

We're not anti-vendor. We're pro-customer. The tone is calm and authoritative — we present facts, not accusations. Let the data do the talking.

"Benchmark data shows your instance is performing in the bottom quartile for this region."

Independent & credible

No affiliations, no bias. Emphasise the cross-customer, anonymised nature of benchmarks. Credibility comes from methodology transparency, not authority claims.

"Aggregated from 1,200+ enterprise tenants across 14 SaaS products."

Concise

Enterprise audiences are busy. We write in short declarative sentences. No jargon inflation. If a sentence needs a semicolon, it probably needs to be two sentences.

"Your SaaS is slower than you think. We have the receipts."

Palette

Teal is the primary brand colour — it reads as both technical (data terminals, monitors) and trustworthy. The dark ink base keeps the dashboard aesthetic. Avoid adding secondary colours; let teal do the work.
