AMD

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is the silicon company behind Ryzen CPUs, Radeon GPUs, EPYC data-center processors, and Threadripper workstation parts — the long-running counterweight to Intel and, in graphics, to NVIDIA. The corporate identity is built around a single mark — the lowercase "amd" wordmark inside the AMD Arrow — in AMD Red (#ED1C24) on white, or in white- on-red. The marketing voice on amd.com is dark-first: a near- black canvas under product hero modules with white type and the red used as a CTA and emphasis accent.

Palette

AMD · [email protected] · Proprietary — All Rights Reserved

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is a silicon company whose corporate identity is anchored on a saturated red — the wordmark color and the only chromatic primary in the system. The supporting palette on amd.com is a near-black canvas (#1a1a1b) under the marketing voice, a small neutral ramp (#27282b through #f1f1f2) for surfaces and rules, and a cooler "AMD Blue" (#0051c6) reserved for partner / link contexts. A Bootstrap-derived danger red (#dc3545) appears for system error states distinct from the brand red.

Rules

🛑 error (6)

colorChoiceroles.colors.mark

  • allowed: amd-red, white, black
  • forbidden: amd-blue, gray-300, gray-500, gray-700, danger

The AMD wordmark and Arrow appear in AMD Red (#ED1C24) on light surfaces, or in white-on-red / white-on-black on dark surfaces. The system error red (#DC3545) is visually adjacent but distinct from the brand mark and must not stand in for it.

forbiddenTreatmentlogo

  • treatments: stretched, rotated, recolored, drop-shadow, gradient-fill, on-busy-photo, outlined

The AMD identity is a fixed-proportion wordmark plus arrow. Recoloring (e.g., filling the mark with AMD Blue), skewing, gradient-filling, or placing the mark on a busy photo conflicts with the corporate identity as it appears on the live site.

contrastRatiotext-primary

  • against: background
  • minRatio: 4.5
  • standard: WCAG-AA

White (#FFFFFF) on the near-black canvas (#1A1A1B) gives ~20:1 — clears AA at the body-text floor decisively. The dark-first marketing posture is built around this high- contrast pairing.

colorChoiceroles.colors.primary

  • allowed: amd-red
  • forbidden: amd-blue, danger, charcoal, gray-700

AMD Red (#ED1C24) is the brand's sole identity primary. AMD Blue is a secondary partner / link color, not the primary action color. The danger red is reserved for destructive UI states and must not be substituted for the brand red.

contextRestrictionroles.colors.error

  • forbiddenContexts: marketing-headline, hero-background, cta
  • allowedContexts: error-state, destructive-action

Danger Red (#DC3545) is the system error / destructive accent inherited from the Bootstrap ramp on amd.com. It is not a CTA color and must not appear in marketing context — the brand AMD Red occupies that role, and confusing the two collapses the destructive-state affordance.

accessibilityRequirement*

  • standard: WCAG-AA
  • criterion: 1.4.3

WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) — Level AA. AMD Red on white measures ~4.6:1 (clears AA body text by a narrow margin); white on AMD Red measures ~4.6:1 in reverse. AA is the appropriate target for a high-saturation brand red of this hue.

💡 recommendation (2)

compositionConstraintroles.colors.primary

  • pairsWith: white, black, charcoal, gray-100
  • doesNotPairWith: amd-blue, danger

AMD Red reads cleanest against neutrals — white, the near- black canvas, or the gray-100 surface. Pairing it adjacent to the secondary AMD Blue creates a red-blue clash without hierarchy resolution, and pairing it adjacent to the danger red is ambiguous semantically.

fontPairingtypography.display

  • requires: prose
  • minSizeRatio: 1.3

AMD's marketing surfaces use a single sans family for both display and body, distinguished by size and weight rather than two families. Maintain at least a 1.3× ratio between display and prose to preserve hierarchy when one family carries both roles.

Components — same template, themed by AMD

Every block below renders from the resolved palette + font references on this brand. Swap the brand and the same template re-themes — no per-brand component code required.

AMD

A clear hierarchy in AMD's typeface

Tertiary heading — supporting structure

Body copy renders in the brand's prose font on the brand's background. Inline links and highlighted phrases pick up the brand's primary and highlight roles. Code spans like brand.references.palette fall back to the monospace face.

A blockquote uses the brand's accent color as its rule. Useful for pulling tagline copy out of running prose.
Bulleted list
  • Bullet markers inherit the brand's primary color.
  • Item spacing reads as a deliberate vertical rhythm.
  • Nested items still resolve to the same primary.
    • Second-level item using the accent.
    • Third bullet wraps cleanly at narrow widths.

Info

Neutral status — provides supplemental context without urgency. Uses the brand's primary as the rule.

Success

Confirms a completed action — palette role success determines the rule color.

Warning

Calls out something that needs attention but isn't an error — palette role warning.

Error

Surfaces a failure that blocks progress — palette role error. Use sparingly.
