Night Garden
Feels like: a precise instrument with a living pulse.
Best for: the core product, documentation, a calm developer website.
Tradeoff: the most familiar direction; needs distinctive imagery to stand apart.
MYCELIUM / IDENTITY EXPLORATIONS / 2026
Same roots.
Different growth.
Three ways to express an engine that is technical, organic, resource-conscious, and serious about play.
DIRECTION 01
Night Garden
A quiet workspace. A luminous living network. The closest evolution of Mycelium’s current Dark theme.

DIRECTION 02
Spore Lab
A bold experimental workshop. Technical typography, acid-lime accents, and modular forms with a sense of play.

DIRECTION 03
Fieldwork
A thoughtful field journal. Paper, ink, copper, and moss put craft, care, and longevity at the center.

THE RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Night Garden.
With violet and mint.
Keep the editor grounded in neutral charcoal, with fine white fibres in the artwork and lavender/mint roots between opaque panels. Compare Mint, Violet, and Violet + Mint with the buttons at the top of the homepage.
Spore Lab
Feels like: a creative coding lab with the doors open.
Best for: launches, events, experiments, a more expressive public identity.
Tradeoff: use the lime sparingly in a dense editor to keep focus clear.
Fieldwork
Feels like: software built carefully, to last.
Best for: the sustainability story, essays, print, and community material.
Tradeoff: a larger departure from the dark editor you prefer.
Night Garden is the implemented default theme. Spore Lab and Fieldwork are designed website explorations and downloadable theme alternatives, so you can compare them without changing your saved editor preference.
THE CONNECTING IDEA
One thread. A living signature.
The selected wordmark grows from one branching thread. The my monogram keeps its first two organic letters and complete y descender, with simplified fibres for small icons.
The my monogram is supplied as an editable SVG and transparent PNG. Use the compact version for app artwork and the micro version for the smallest icons.
