Brand kit for open source projects.
An open source project lives or dies by its community, and nothing builds contributor trust faster than a project that looks like it knows what it's doing. Yet most open source projects ship with a README logo cobbled together in five minutes. Minted gives your open source project a real brand kit: a mark contributors want to put on stickers, a color palette that renders cleanly in dark mode and light, and typography that reads well in docs and on GitHub. All for $9, generated in seconds.
Everything you need to launch a open source project.
What makes branding for open source projects different.
Brand Kits Built for GitHub Profile Readmes
Open source projects get judged in milliseconds on GitHub, npm, and PyPI. Minted generates a visual identity with hex codes, font pairings, and logo styles that slot directly into your README, documentation site, and social preview images without needing a designer to adapt anything.
Dark Mode and Light Mode Palettes Included
Most open source projects live in dark terminals and light documentation pages simultaneously. Every Minted brand kit for an open source project includes palette guidance for both contexts, so your mark stays legible whether a contributor is reading your docs in VS Code or on a sunny laptop screen.
Community Assets That Scale With Your Contributor Count
A well-branded open source project attracts sponsors, conference talks, and serious contributors. Minted gives you the visual building blocks: a sticker-ready symbol, a consistent type system, and color tokens you can drop straight into your design system or Figma file the day a contributor asks for brand guidelines.

What open source projects ask before buying.
My open source project has no revenue. Is spending $9 on branding worth it?+
A consistent visual identity is one of the fastest ways to signal that your open source project is maintained and trustworthy. Sponsors, enterprise users, and first-time contributors all make snap judgments based on presentation. Nine dollars is less than a GitHub Copilot subscription for a month, and the brand kit you get can last the entire life of the project.
Can I use these assets in my documentation site, npm page, and conference slides?+
Yes. The brand kit you receive is yours to use across every surface your open source project touches: README badges, a docs site built with Docusaurus or Astro, conference talk decks, social cards, and contributor swag. There are no licensing restrictions on assets generated for you through Minted.
Will the logo mark work as a small GitHub avatar and also on a printed sticker?+
Minted recommends logo styles that are legible at 32px avatar size and still look sharp at 3-inch sticker scale. The brand kit includes guidance on minimum size usage and clear space, so your open source project mark holds up whether it is a tiny favicon or a die-cut sticker on a MacBook lid.
Our project already has a rough logo someone contributed. Can Minted help us build around it?+
Minted generates a complete brand direction based on your project's niche and style inputs, which you can use as a reference to evolve or refine an existing mark. Many open source project maintainers use the generated palette and typography as the missing system around a logo that already exists, giving the whole identity coherence without scrapping community contributions.
