Trello

Trello is a card-and-board work-management tool — the kanban app that made boards mainstream — owned by Atlassian since the 2017 acquisition. The brand voice is friendly, playful, and direct. Visually, Trello carries its own signature blue mark (#0079BF) while sharing the Atlassian Design product surface language — clean white canvases, near-black body text, and a disciplined neutral system.

Trello's brand palette, anchored on Trello Blue (#0079BF) — the signature board-blue that has carried the kanban-card mark since the platform's early days. Trello (owned by Atlassian since 2017) retains its own brand color while sharing the Atlassian design language for product surfaces. The institutional voice pairs that blue with a clean white canvas and near-black body text.

colorChoicelogo.mark

  • allowed: trello-blue, trello-white, trello-black
  • forbidden: any-non-brand-color

The Trello mark renders in Trello Blue on light surfaces and in white on dark surfaces. Recoloring the mark into off- brand hues violates Atlassian's brand-use guidance for Trello.

forbiddenTreatmentlogo

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

Atlassian's brand resources prohibit stretching, rotating, recoloring, or applying decorative effects to portfolio marks, including Trello.

contrastRatiotext-primary

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

WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast minimum for body text. Trello Black (#172B4D) on Trello White (#FFFFFF) clears AA comfortably.

variantSelectionlogo

  • use: logo-light
  • when: backgroundColorScheme="dark"

On dark surfaces, use Trello's documented light-fill mark variant; do not invert the blue mark on the fly.

contextRestrictionroles.colors.identity

  • forbiddenContexts: product-of-competitor, merchandise, endorsement-implication, company-name-or-domain

Atlassian's trademark guidance forbids use of the Trello name and mark in third-party company names, domains, and uses that imply affiliation or endorsement.

accessibilityRequirement*

  • standard: WCAG-AA
  • criterion: 1.4.3

WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) — Level AA. Trello-skinned surfaces must clear AA on body text, in line with Atlassian Design's accessibility floor.

⚠️ warning (1)

enumMembershiptypography.heading.fontWeight

  • allowed: 500, 600, 700

Trello's marketing and product surfaces render headings in the 500–700 band, consistent with Atlassian Design; lighter weights undermine the confident voice of the brand.

💡 recommendation (1)

compositionConstraintroles.colors.identity

  • pairsWith: trello-white, trello-black, trello-surface-light

Trello Blue is calibrated to read on white and on Atlassian's documented near-black. Pairing it with another saturated hue at the same weight breaks the focused, board-anchored voice of the brand surface.

Components — same template, themed by Trello

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.

Trello

A clear hierarchy in Trello'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.
Numbered list
  1. Open the brand's resolved spec.
  2. Apply roles to the component template.
  3. Render the surface in the brand's identity.
  4. Audit the output against the typed rules.
