Clockify is a time tracking and timesheet application developed by CAKE.com, a productivity software company. Its visual identity is documented through the official CAKE.com brand guidelines, which describe the logo system, color palette, and supporting shapes used across the company’s product family.
Design and History
Clockify, Pumble, and Plaky are all part of the CAKE.com family. Each product has a unique logo, but all follow a shared structure combining a symbol and a wordmark. The CAKE.com brand guidelines state that the consistent line thickness, rounded edges, and geometric structure create visual harmony, making the logos feel different yet part of one unified system.[1]
The Clockify logo is built around a rounded rectangle shape. According to the official CAKE.com brand guidelines, Clockify’s shape echoes the ticking of a watch, representing a visual block of time. It is derived from the core square with 5% corner rounding.[2]
The CAKE.com brand guidelines specify that product logos should never be used smaller than 32 px in width on digital platforms, as smaller sizes risk losing detail and recognizability. All product logos follow the same clear space rule, where the protective margin around the logo equals the height and width of the symbol’s bounding box.[1]
Meaning and Symbolism
Clockify’s primary color palette consists of Clockify blue, white, and black. According to the official brand guidelines, blue represents clarity, focus, and reliability, core qualities of time management. Black and white come from the core CAKE.com brand, reinforcing consistency across the entire ecosystem.[3]
The official Clockify blue is specified as HEX 03A9F4, with RGB values of 3, 169, 244, and CMYK values of 69, 20, 00, 00.[3]
Secondary colors are shades of Clockify’s primary blue, determined as steps toward lightness or darkness. They form a balanced spectrum around the central product color and are primarily used for brand gradients, as well as accents, backgrounds, and content hierarchy.[3]
Typography and Design
The CAKE.com brand guidelines describe two modern typefaces used across the brand system, though the specific typeface names are only available to the internal CAKE.com team through a restricted section of the brand playbook.[4]
The broader CAKE.com visual system is built around the rounded rectangle as the core shape, consistently used as a foundation in layouts, interface structures, and the box elements of product logos. The base shape uses a 5% corner radius, while product shapes use 10% and logo box shapes use 20%.[2]
