File 01Wordmark

The name, set with intent.

The firm name in Cormorant Garamond, on both grounds. This wordmark treatment is independent of the five mark directions in File 02 — the two will be paired together once a mark direction is chosen.

Lockup usage: letterhead footers, email signatures, business cards, and the site header. Keep the tagline in italic Cormorant Garamond wherever the wordmark appears at full size; drop the tagline only at small sizes (business card, favicon-adjacent placements).

File 02Logo Marks

Five directions. One firm.

Five independent concept directions for a mark to pair with the wordmark — one crest built around the courthouse motif, and four seals built around a rising eagle. The crest is shown on both an ivory ground and a spruce-ink ground so you can see how it carries into a dark colorway; each seal is shown the same way.

Direction A
Crest
Circular crest, courthouse pillars, stacked wordmark beneath, "Attorneys at Law" subline. Shown on both grounds to demonstrate the light and dark colorway.

Note on colorways. All five directions are shown in their original exploratory colors (navy, crimson, ink). None yet carries the Green Law Firm palette from File 03. Once a direction is chosen, CSC will re-color the final mark to spruce ink, antique gold, and ivory.

These are five starting points, not a shortlist — none is a recommendation. Tell us the letter you're drawn to, or the two you're deciding between, and we'll refine that direction into final production files.

File 03Palette

A palette built for trust.

Deep greens and inks carry the authority; gold carries the warmth. Keep these exact values and every page, document, and card reads as one firm.

Spruce Ink
#16241C
Primary dark ground — masthead, footer, headline color on light.
Deep Green
#24402E
Secondary dark ground — card gradients, dark-surface accents.
Antique Gold
#A8894F
Primary accent — dividers, borders, file-tab chips, buttons.
Soft Gold
#C4A96A
Secondary accent — hover states, lighter gold moments.
Gold Bright
#D8BE85
Emphasis text and taglines on dark grounds only.
Gold Ink
#7F6330
The one AA-safe gold for small body text and links on light grounds.
Ivory
#F6F2E9
Primary light background and text-on-dark color.
Warm Ivory
#EFE9DC
Secondary light background — card fills, section fades.
Paper
#FBF9F3
Lightest ground — the Typography section canvas.
Accessibility note. Gold Ink (#7F6330) is the only gold in this palette verified AA-safe for small text on light backgrounds. Antique Gold, Soft Gold, and Gold Bright are for large type, accents, and dark-ground use only — never for small body copy on ivory or paper.
File 04Typography

Two typefaces do the talking.

Cormorant Garamond carries the name and the moments that need presence. Source Serif 4 does the reading. Inter runs the interface. Three fonts, three jobs, never mixed.

One display serif, one reading serif, one UI sans — always exactly one of each on a page. Never combine two serifs in the same block, and never let Inter carry more than a line or two before handing off to Source Serif 4.

First-person, About section ·
I'm Jonathan L. Green, founder and sole practitioner at Green Law Firm, P.C. in Wahpeton, North Dakota. My path here wasn't a straight line: an AA from NDSCS in Wahpeton, a BA in Business Administration from UND, a J.D. from the UND School of Law, and an MBA from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis — followed by nearly ten years with Thomson Reuters in legal and financial information, and a stretch in 2008 living in Hong Kong as Regional Manager for Southeast Asia, working across Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. That combination — multinational business experience plus formal legal training — is what I bring to every client who walks through my door. My flagship practice is tax law, and I also handle estate planning, business law, real estate (including townhome and condominium association matters), landlord/tenant disputes, agricultural law, debtor/creditor rights, family law, criminal defense, and adoption, licensed in both North Dakota and South Dakota. I grew up between Breckenridge, Minnesota and Wahpeton, North Dakota, and this is where I chose to practice. World Experience and Personal Service isn't a tagline — it's the idea: the perspective of someone who has worked in Hong Kong boardrooms, delivered with the attention of a hometown lawyer who answers his own phone. Call 701.672.1218 to talk about your matter.
