OpenAI's 2024 visual identity positions the company as a foundational AI research laboratory, not a consumer startup. The brand strips away every decorative impulse — pure black text on white ground, a single leaf-green accent inherited from ChatGPT, and Inter at light-to-regular weights channeling the restraint of academic publishing.

The October 2024 "Blossom" logomark replaced the original hexagonal seal, but the design philosophy only deepened: generous reading columns, monospace code blocks, flat surfaces with no shadows, and editorial layouts that treat the webpage as a printed research page.
