One ledger, one endpoint.
Godance is a multimodal AI aggregator — every major text, image, and video model behind one OpenAI-compatible API, metered on one credit ledger. This page is the canonical reference for how the brand looks, how it speaks, and how partners, press, and integrators use its marks.
The brand is the product diagram
The identity direction is Unified Ledger: an open arc holding three ledger strokes — credits and usage — with a routed path exiting to a cyan-ringed endpoint node. It is a picture of what the product does. Everything else in the system serves that idea: dense developer-console clarity, restrained color, code first.
Positioning
Developer infrastructure, not a chatbot. Godance sells the absence of integration work: 15+ providers, one bill, ten minutes to first call.
Personality
A senior engineer briefing another senior engineer. Confident, literal, occasionally wry. Never breathless, never decorated.
Restraint
Near-monochrome with one violet primary and one cyan accent. Color marks state and brand — it does not decorate. No gradients in product UI.
Three surfaces, one seam-free brand

| API | api.godance.ai/v1 | OpenAI-compatible REST gateway, credit ledger, fallback chains, signed webhooks. |
What to say about Godance
Use these descriptions verbatim in press releases, listings, and directories. Pick the length that fits; do not remix fragments from different lengths in the same sentence.
Godance is a multimodal AI aggregator: every major text, image, and video model behind one OpenAI-compatible API, on one credit ledger.
Godance is a multimodal AI aggregator that routes chat, image, and video requests to 15+ providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex, Flux, DeepSeek, and more — through one OpenAI-compatible API. Usage from every provider lands on a single append-only credit ledger with per-model fallback chains and pass-through pricing plus a published platform fee. No tiers, no seats, no minimums.
Godance is a multimodal AI aggregator that puts every major AI model behind one OpenAI-compatible API. Any OpenAI SDK works as a drop-in client for chat by swapping base_url; image and video generation take the same request shape and run as async jobs. Requests route to 15+ providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex, Black Forest Labs, DeepSeek, xAI, Runway, and Kling. Every request is metered on a single append-only credit ledger at microcent precision, with per-model fallback chains and signed webhooks. Pricing is pass-through plus a platform fee of 5% on text, 12% on images, and 10–15% on video — no tiers, no seats, no minimums. The platform is open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

The product in one request
# Any OpenAI SDK is a Godance client. Swap the base URL. curl https://api.godance.ai/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer gd_live_xxxx…" \ -d '{"model": "claude-sonnet-5", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hello"}]}'
Positioning rule: crypto top-ups are payment flexibility, not a brand identity. Never lead a Godance story with "blockchain" or "crypto-native", and never use coin imagery. Crypto is one of three payment methods, not the product.
The Unified Ledger mark
The symbol reads left to right the way a request does: ledger in, route out, endpoint reached. Four elements, fixed proportions, mostly monochrome. The cyan ring is the only mandatory color in the identity.
- Open arc. The ledger's container — open on the right because requests leave it. Drawn in ink, round caps, never closed into a full circle.
- Three ledger strokes. Credits and usage. Always three, always left-aligned, staggered lengths. Never used as a hamburger-menu glyph.
- Routed path. The middle stroke exits and steps up — the fallback chain in one line. The step is part of the geometry; do not straighten it.
- Endpoint node. A cyan ring (#06B6D4) with a knocked-out center. The one mandatory color. On ink backgrounds it brightens to #22D3EE.
Lockups
Which file, where
| Context | Asset | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing headers, docs | godance-logo-horizontal.svg | Light lockup on white; dark variant on ink slabs only. |
| Social avatar, compact nav | godance-logo-mark.svg | Mark alone. Minimum display size 20px. |
| Body copy, running text | — | Write "Godance" as text. Never paste the wordmark into a sentence. |
| OS home screens | godance-app-icon.svg | Container radius is 21.875% of the icon size — do not re-round. |
| Browser tabs < 20px | godance-favicon.svg | Purpose-drawn for small sizes; never scale down the primary mark instead. |
Clear space and minimum sizes
- Clear space. Keep a margin equal to the endpoint node's diameter (≈ ¼ of mark height) free of type, imagery, and edges on all sides.
- Minimum sizes. Mark 20px. Horizontal lockup 28px tall. Below 20px, switch to the favicon source.
- Backgrounds. White, gray-50, or ink. Anything busier fails the contrast rule — see the don'ts.
- The wordmark is type. Inter at weight 760, tracking −0.025em, capital G, always single-color ink (or white on ink). It is never partially colored.
Don'ts
Ink does the work. Violet signs it.
Godance is a near-monochrome system. Neutrals carry every surface; violet marks the brand and primary actions; cyan is reserved for endpoint semantics — the logo's node, the endpoint pill, sparkline highlights. Status colors appear only as 50/700 pill pairs. Nothing else gets color.
Neutrals
Brand and accent
Status
Rules
- Color is state and brand, not decoration. If a color isn't signaling status, an action, or the endpoint, it should be a neutral.
- Violet never enters the wordmark. The lockup is single-color ink (or white on ink). The legacy violet "go" is retired.
- Cyan is never a button. It belongs to endpoint semantics only.
- No gradients in product UI. Gradients exist only on historical exploration boards.
- Dark mode brightens one stop. Violet 600 → 500, cyan 500 → 400, so contrast holds on the dark slab.
Inter speaks. JetBrains Mono quotes the machine.
Two families, strict roles. Inter carries UI and display with tight tracking at size. JetBrains Mono renders anything a computer would say back: endpoints, ids, keys, money, code. If a string could appear in a terminal, it is set in mono.
Weights in play
Casing
- Sentence case everywhere — buttons, headings, nav, table headers. "Get started", not "Get Started".
- Proper nouns are sacred. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex, Black Forest Labs, Stripe, NOWPayments — each in its owner's preferred casing.
- Code identifiers stay literal.
base_url,gpt-4o-mini,fallback_used:true— set in mono, never re-cased. - Features are common nouns. Credit ledger, fallback chains, model catalog. Capitalized only at sentence start.
A senior engineer, briefing another
Confident, declarative, technically literal, occasionally wry. Second person, present tense, active voice. The product is AI — the copy never has to say so.
Number formatting
| Kind | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Money | $0.024 / 1K tokens · $1,248,394 · +18.6% | Always mono in tables and metrics. |
| Latency | 412ms · 1.23s · P95 412ms | No space before the unit, no italics. |
| Counts | 15+ providers · 99.98% | Always include the unit. |
| Ids | evt_01HXB…9J2K · gd_live_xxxx… | Middle-truncate with … — never three dots. |
Eight surfaces, one geometry
A custom 24px outline set drawn from the logo's own primitives — circles, round-cap strokes, ledger lines. Outline only; the single filled element in the entire set is the API gateway's violet center dot, which means "the route is live". Gaps are covered by Lucide at 24px / 1.5px stroke until a custom glyph graduates into the set.
- No emoji as icons. Anywhere. The production codebase ships zero emoji in chrome.
- No unicode-glyph icons — no →, ✓, • standing in for real glyphs (inline prose excepted).
- Provider marks stay theirs. Surface them as 18–20px monochrome marks in provider chips, sourced from each provider's own brand kit.
- States: default ink, active violet-600, disabled gray-400. Nothing else.
For press, partners, and integrators
"Marks" means the Godance name, the Unified Ledger mark, the lockups, and the icon system. Permission to use them is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and conditional on these guidelines.
Allowed without asking
- Editorial use. News coverage, reviews, commentary, and comparison tables may use the name and unmodified lockups.
- Truthful references. "Built on Godance", "routes requests via Godance", "available through Godance" — plain statements of fact.
- Screenshots of the product, unaltered, with attribution.
- Developer docs that show Godance API calls, keys redacted.
Not allowed
- "Godance" in your product, app, company, or domain name. "GodanceKit", "godance-tools.dev" — no. Describe the relationship instead.
- Implied endorsement. Integration does not make you a partner; don't say or design otherwise.
- Modified marks — recolors, effects, remixes, or marks inside your own logo.
- Merchandise bearing the marks, without written permission.
- Outranking your own brand. Godance marks never appear more prominently than yours in your materials.
Naming
| Write | Never | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Godance | GoDance · goDance · go dance · GODANCE | One word, capital G, sentence-set. The GitHub org handle GoDanceAi is the sole legacy exception. |
| the Godance API | Godance AI API · GodanceGPT | No provider-styled suffixes; the product name carries no "AI". |
| claude-sonnet-5 via Godance | Godance's Claude | Models belong to their providers. Name the model precisely, then the route. |
| credit ledger, fallback chains | Credit Ledger™ · Fallback Chains | Features are common nouns, not sub-brands. |
Co-marketing, joint announcements, and partnership lockups require written approval from both sides before publication. Same rule OpenAI and Anthropic apply to their marks — and the same one we apply to theirs: provider names and logos shown inside Godance surfaces follow each provider's own brand guidelines.

House rules for coverage
- Describe Godance as a "multimodal AI aggregator" on first mention.
- Provider count is "15+" — it moves; don't hard-code a larger number.
- Pricing is "pass-through plus a platform fee" (5% text, 12% image, 10–15% video) — not "markup", not "commission".
- Screenshots: current app chrome may still show the legacy lowercase wordmark; prefer assets from this kit for anything designed.
