Brand Guidelines · Version 3

The look of
real-life play.

How Bingmong looks, sounds and feels — a warm, white, candy-bright world of huggable characters, balanced floaties and one big idea: take the play button off the screen.

The whole vibe is modelled on family.co — its warm-white ground, zero-gravity floaties and huggable-character world are the north star for this entire system.

00 · The one big idea

Move the play button.

Family.co took the coldest corner of tech — crypto — and made it a toy you'd hand a kid. We do the same for play itself. For a generation, "play" became a sideways ▶ on a screen: you watch other people have the fun. Bingmong flips it upward ▲ — off the feed and back into the room, together.

Today · on a screen

The ▶ you watch.

Heads down, thumbs scrolling, alone together. The only play button left is the one on a video.

Bingmong · in the room

The ▲ you press.

Phones down, heads up. One upward play button puts the whole room in the game — for real.

02 · The cast

Mong & the Play Crew.

Family's secret weapon was a cast of huggable characters carrying the "don't be scared" feeling. Ours do the same for AI & play. Mong is the AI — a pink upward triangle. The crew are flat, candy-bright blobs built from play-shapes, each with sparkle eyes, pink blush and stick limbs.

Mong has moods.
The AI mascot shifts expression with the moment — calm while idle, focused while building, hyped at the win. Always the pink ▲, always sparkling.
02·b · How they're built

Anatomy of a buddy.

  • Flat single-colour bodyOne bright fill, no gradients or outlines. Built from a play-shape: flower, oval, square, gem or star.
  • Sparkle pill eyesTall rounded ink eyes with a white highlight dot — wide-awake and friendly, never sleepy.
  • Pink blushTwo soft pink cheeks at 42% opacity. The single detail that makes them feel huggable.
  • Stick limbs + jellybean shoesThin ink arms and legs with rounded shoe caps in an accent colour. They wave, they wobble, they bob.
02·c · Each one moves differently

Every buddy has a signature loop.

Borrowed straight from the family.co playbook: characters aren’t stills, they’re always gently alive. Each crew member gets one looping idle motion that matches their personality — built as lightweight, exportable Lottie loops so product and marketing share the exact same movement.

One motion per character, looping forever, 2–6s. Never combine two; never speed past playful. All loops respect prefers-reduced-motion and fall back to the happy still.
03 · Colour

White ground, candy floaties.

The platform is calm: a pure-white page with warm-grey fills, so every game and character can shout. Colour lives in the cast and floaties — four flat primaries, perfectly balanced, with three brighter sparks used sparingly.

The four primaries — balanced

Balance rule — in any floatie scatter, blue / green / red / gold appear in roughly equal weight. No single colour dominates.

The sparks — pink, tangerine, cyan (use sparingly)

Two systems. A rounded 2px line set for UI (no emoji, ever), and the solid play-shapes — the glyph vocabulary that fills every game tile in flat single colour.

06 · Floaties & motion

Everything gently floats.

Characters, coins, stars and tiles drift around the page like a zero-gravity playground — the family.co signature. Six soft, slow, looping motions form the library, plus one balance rule: scatter colour evenly and leave breathing room. Every loop is built Lottie-ready so the same movement ships in product, web and social.

Bob
6s · ease-in-out

Up-and-down with a tiny counter-rotate. The default for characters.

Floaty
5s · ease-in-out

A lighter vertical drift, no rotation. For coins, stars and small stickers.

Rocket
6.5s · diagonal

Rises diagonally off-screen — the “play leaving the feed” accent. Once per view.

Spin
9s · linear

A slow rotation that catches the light. For gems, coins and prizes.

Pulse
3.4s · ease

A breathing scale — the AI and live heartbeat behind the mark.

Sway
3.6s · ease

A friendly wave from the base. For welcomers and idle greetings.

The floatie playground — a living Lottie library

Drop the cast and the stickers into one zero-gravity field, give each its own loop and offset, and the page comes alive. This is the reference set we export to Lottie for splash screens, empty states and the homepage hero.

08 · Voice & taglines

Warm, playful, hype-but-human.

We talk like the friend who gets everyone off the couch — for ages 10 to 70. Pro real-life bonding, anti-doomscroll, never corporate.

✓ We say

"Turn any room into a game."

"Phones down, heads up."

"Mong's got the score — you just play."

Plain, warm, all-ages, a little hyped.

✕ We don't

"Leverage our AI-powered engagement platform."

"Endless content, served fresh."

Cold, corporate, doomscroll-y, jargon-heavy.

No generic emoji — use the Ico set.

09 · Games

How a game shows up.

Every game is a little world. The platform stays calm warm-paper so each game can bring its OWN loud theme, cast and colour. Here’s the system — the genres, the card, the theming rule, the live room and the rewards.

09·a · The genres

Eight kinds of play.

Every game maps to one genre, and every genre owns a colour + play-shape. It’s how Discover stays legible — you read the room from the tile colour before you read a word.

09·b · The game card

Anatomy of a game tile.

09·c · Theming

Calm platform, loud games.

The one rule that keeps it from getting noisy: chrome stays warm-paper and quiet; the theme lives inside the game cover and the live room. Each event gets an original name and its own loud palette — here are four.

The rule: the theme never leaks into the platform. Nav, Discover and your profile stay warm-paper; only the cover, the lobby and the live room wear the game’s colours.

Points, coins, streaks, glory.

Every good moment gets a token. Points land fast, coins bank up, streaks reward coming back, and the win is a real moment — with the Star buddy and the MVP badge.

09·f · Real-life game icons

Icons for physical play.

From a deck of cards to a Rubik’s cube — a line set for every real-world game format, each with a single pop of its game colour. Same rounded language as the UI icons, just more alive. Used on filters, badges and how-to cards.

10 · App Store

How we show up on the Store.

The first three seconds of the brand. A pink icon that reads as “play,” a one-line promise, and marketing screenshots that lead with the feeling — real-life play — not a feature list. Big Bricolage captions, one character or shape each.

13 · Gamification & tokens

Play that pays you back.

Real-life play earns real rewards. Every game feeds three systems: BMG tokens you bank, streaks that keep you coming back, and a progression of levels, crests and MVP moments. Warm and generous — never grindy, never dark-pattern.

13·a · The token

BMG — the Bingmong token.

One in-game currency: BMG. A warm gold coin stamped with the play ▲ — earned by playing, spent on games, gear and events. Reads instantly as a reward; never a cold crypto coin.

+10 · per game +25 · win +100 · host a night
240BMG The balance pill — token + amount in Space Grotesk. Lives in the wallet and the home top-bar.
13·b · Streaks

Keep the streak alive.

Streaks reward showing up — a warm flame that grows, a seven-day tracker and milestone badges. The anti-doomscroll loop: you come back for the people, and the number just follows.

Your buddy, your way.

Like Roblox, every player gets a buddy they make their own. Start with a cast character, then dress it — hats, shades, neckwear, held props and colourways. Same huggable base, infinite personality; Mong remembers your look across every game.
