The Neo-Brutalist Team Philosophy Manifesto

Our manifesto, our rules, our raison d'ĂȘtre.

Principle 1: We Believe in the Power of Bright Colors

Our team is committed to using the most obnoxious, attention-grabbing colors known to humanity. We believe that a good dose of neon pink, electric blue, and sunshine yellow can cure anything, including boredom.

Sub-principle 1.1: We will never, ever, use pastel shades.

Sub-principle 1.2: Our team members are required to wear neon-colored contact lenses to meetings to ensure maximum impact.

Principle 2: We Reject the Tyranny of Smooth Typography

We believe that sans-serif is a sin. Our fonts are chunky, our letters are bold, and our paragraphs are always, always justified.

Sub-principle 2.1: We will never use ligatures, or any other 'soul-sucking' typographic abominations.

Sub-principle 2.2: Our team members are encouraged to type in all caps on Tuesdays.

Principle 3: We Will Never, Ever, Use Gradients

We abhor the very concept of gradient. It's like the devil's own shadow, a slippery slope of mediocrity that leads only to the land of boring, boring, boring.

Sub-principle 3.1: We will never, under any circumstances, use a color other than black for the background of our gradients.

Sub-principle 3.2: Our team members are tasked with designing a new gradient-free logo every month.

Principle 4: We Believe in the Importance of Thick Borders

We believe that borders are not just for holding things in, they're for making a statement. Our borders are at least 4px thick, because anything less is just not worth it.

Sub-principle 4.1: We will never use a border radius smaller than 10px.

Sub-principle 4.2: Our team members are required to wear a different colored border around their faces during meetings, to really drive home the point.
