Company is ReadMe.com :) Here's our handbook with the values: https://readme.com/handbook


Nice! I see the whimsical part indeed. I like the owl character (especially its prevalence in https://blog.readme.com/)! Has way more personality than [Alegria](https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/dont-worry-these-gangley-armed-...).

Tell your designers for me to bank on that visual language and stay away from "corporate clip-art". <smallrant>It's funny to me how even start-ups (who claim "personal touch" as an edge in their service) utilize the blandness of Alegria.</smallrant>


I'm the designer, so I hear ya! Definitely agree... we worked hard to make sure Owlbert only pops up rarely. He's not on the homepage (other than a few easter eggs), and barely in the product. He's mostly for swag and the blog!
