A refresh.
Not a reset.
Keep the recognizable M. Add a warmer palette, distinctive typography, and a little well-placed movement. Let the people, the thinking, and the work do the talking.
Living proposal · nothing here silently replaces approved assets.Approved identity & architecture
Manifest FTS and Signal use the original M; Jongo retains its own original logomark. Title-case Josefin Sans 600 logo names connect the family. Manifest can lead with blue, lime or magenta without changing its name or geometry; lettering stays #1A1A1A on light or white on dark, independent of the UI palette below.
Original M in #4056E8; Manifest in neutral #1A1A1A.
The Manifest M can use lime-to-teal at 45°; its name stays white.
Jongo retains its original distinct logomark, paired with a white Josefin logo name—not the Manifest M.
Original M blends #D92B91, #ED4B83, #F76B68 and #FF9347 at 45°; Signal stays #1A1A1A.
White Josefin Sans lettering rotates once every 30 seconds around a stationary blue-to-cyan original M.
The same Manifest identity can use the warm magenta gradient. Lettering remains #1A1A1A.
The literal signature FORWARD THINKING SOLUTIONS rotates around the stationary original M. This uppercase ring has no dot and is the exception to title-case logo names. Use it in footers, case-study endings, proposal covers and film end frames. Only the neutral text ring moves; the colorful mark stays fixed.
Strategy, design, development, AI workflows, and discoverability. A single masterbrand, not a collection of competing identities.
A distinct platform in the shared identity family. This guide does not change the existing product deployment or its interface palette.
UI color system
Cobalt + citrus leads the interface. Berry + tangerine is an expressive secondary chapter for campaigns, project stories and editorial moments. These UI palette proposals never recolor the approved identity lockups or their neutral lettering.
Navigation, core actions and the recognizable everyday experience.
Selected work, editorial highlights and the closing brand signature.
Not everything needs a color. Black, warm white, and generous space keep project imagery in the foreground.

Exact solid-color pairs, not a whole-site accessibility certification. Orange is an expressive surface with dark text—not a white-text button. The download below includes the selected UI palette, Josefin Sans 600 logo names, DM Sans headings, Inter body/UI, and approved identity palettes.
Approved typography
Josefin Sans 600 is reserved for title-case logo names, not website headings. DM Sans handles headings; Inter handles body copy, navigation and interface labels. The uppercase FTS badge signature is the casing exception, not a heading style.
Manifest and Signal retain the original M; Jongo retains its own original mark. Logo lettering is neutral #1A1A1A on light or white on dark. Manifest can use any family mark palette via the palette prop without changing brand. Colors and optional gradients never color lettering. Josefin Sans, DM Sans and Inter are delivered through Next Font under the SIL Open Font License.
Good ideas deserve a team that can bring them to life. Clear thinking, thoughtful design, and useful technology—working together from day one.

Services menu & destinations
The menu in the page header is the actual reusable component—not a drawing of one. Open it to explore these six working links, then try it with a keyboard or touch.
These six destinations are implemented as working guide sections. Dedicated production service pages remain a separate rollout.
From the first useful prototype to a site your team can manage. Design and engineering work together, rather than handing the problem down the line.
Give your business a recognizable voice and a coherent visual language. Carry it through the interfaces, content, and moments people actually encounter.
Find where AI can remove friction in real work. Prototype the workflow, agree on data boundaries, and keep people responsible for the decisions that matter.
Make expertise easier to find, understand, and reference. Connect technical search foundations with useful content and a measured approach to AI discovery.
Keep the infrastructure behind the experience in view. Jongo supports the operational relationship, with its own identity and product-specific interface.
Build continuity across strategy, design, development, and operations. Agree on priorities and working rhythms before deciding what an ongoing engagement should look like.

A few words from the people behind the work.
“Working with ManifestFTS has truly been a breath of fresh air. … I highly recommend them for any organization looking for reliable, mission-driven partners.”
Christian FuscarinoExecutive DirectorGarden State Equality“… Kevin provided just enough tools and a simple strategy we needed to redesign our new pages and expand our conservation efforts. …”
Kevin AdamsExecutive Director & FounderWaterfall Keepers of NC“Kevin and his team are true professionals—efficient, skilled, and reliable. … ManifestFTS has been an essential partner for our business.”
Vanessa NastriCEOBarclay Rex CigarsBrand film / motion language
A generous, rounded film canvas between the work and the conversation. A deliberate press of play, not another thing fighting for attention.

Smart, cunning, effortless and lean. Architects and builders—not layers of middle management.

Make the next step useful
Experience / conversion
Show the work. Explain how the partnership works. Then invite a conversation about continuity—not an immediate retainer purchase.
Real work and clear capabilities.
A shared brief, priorities, and working rhythm.
An ongoing engagement when it makes sense.
A good place to begin
A retained partnership gives useful ideas the time, attention, and continuity to become real. Start with a conversation about what would make the biggest difference.
No form or commitment here. We can use an initial conversation to understand the work, the people involved, and whether an ongoing partnership is the right shape.
Capacity / brief / launch
We’ll tell you how long it takes. Pick a starting capacity, share the problem and leave a contact. Scope first. No surprises.
Good work starts with a little clarity
Choose a little help, a focused sprint, or a steady build partner. Shape the brief in three simple steps.
Preview only. Nothing is sent, uploaded, or saved. No booking or payment.
Components, motion & handoff
Real buttons, form fields, status states, and theme-aware tokens. Small purposeful movements support the content; they never compete with it.
180–240ms for interaction feedback. A slight lift or image scale for work tiles. Only the optional FTS badge ring rotates; its M stays still. No automatic video playback or moving content that hides the reading order.
Reduced motion removes transforms and transitions. The shared pause control also pauses the badge ring. Keyboard focus stays visible. Labels—not color alone—describe state.
