What’s behind the yoast brand
Brand foundation
We are Yoast and our mission is SEO for everyone
We believe in creating equal chances for everyone in the search results.
Brand values
Brand is comprehensive. We incorporate the brand values in our design principles, but it’s much more than that. It’s being present and approachable at WordCamps, it’s being positive and helpful when providing support, and it’s the tone of voice when writing a blog post.
Design principles
Our design principles are a derivative of our culture at Yoast and are something that our users would recognize us by. But also something that can serve as a mindset when working on a design. All our users need to feel welcome when using our products.

The Yoast logo origin
The Yoast logo got a redesign in 2015, the year the color orange was changed into green and purple. The wordmark is a combination of the old wordmark and a checkmark. The background of the icon is a stylized version of the speech bubble from the old logo.
Positive, colorful, enthusiastic, diverse & accessible
Brand colors
Our design principles form the basis for the Yoast brand color choice. Our brand must radiate positivity and enthusiasm, and the Yoast colors are a big part of that.
Main brand colors
You can find the two main brand colors in our logos’ and icon. Online we use an additional purple to make the gradient you see on the Yoast website. You can find more information about our secondary colors and color contrast in the downloadable PDF file.
