Design options — SILC Intelligence

Five ways SILC Intelligence could look & feel.

Each preview renders the same morning briefing — the PCIF / DPT / COF II strike table, the covenant and AML positions, the certificate expiries, and the Ask SILC materiality question answered with policy citations — in a distinct design language. The product underneath is identical in all five; only the look, density and character change. The platform is yours: any of these (or a blend) becomes the build.

Same content in all 5 — compare design, not data Usability first — flair never blocks the answer Motion toggles off on every animated direction

How to view

Click any card — each opens a full-screen preview in a new tab. Designed for a 1440×900 frame; everything also holds together on a smaller laptop.

Demo the loop

Every direction stages Ask SILC in its own voice — panel, memo, command palette, concierge desk or spotlight bar. Click the suggested question and watch the cited answer land.

For pitch vs. daily

The animated directions carry an off-switch — Flair (Ember), Glow (Terminal), Motion (Aurum), Calm (Ledger), Reduce motion (Glasshouse). Film with it on, work with it off.

1 Signal dark

Ember

Your brand, sharpened

Your existing dark product, sharpened — layered inks, SILC orange running as a live signal through glowing status dots, gradient flares and oversized strike numerals.

Sells: continuity — this is your brand, visibly more confident.

Space Grotesk + Inter

SignatureKPIs count up on load; the Ask SILC answer streams behind a glowing orange caret, citations landing as clickable source cards.

Toggle offFlair kills count-ups, the covenant-breach pulse and streaming — instant render, full utility.

2 Editorial light

Ledger

Institutional editorial

Your morning briefing typeset like the front page of a private bank's daily sheet — masthead navigation, hairline rules, oldstyle figures and a footnoted research memo on warm paper.

Sells: trustee-grade credibility — proud to put it in front of a board or APRA.

Fraunces + Source Serif 4

SignatureAsk SILC answers as a memorandum — ink settles blur-to-sharp, the footnote rule draws itself, superscript ¹ ² resolve into a proper sources block.

Toggle offCalm switches off the ink-reveal and caret blink — same memo, zero motion.

3 Dense dark

Terminal

Operator console

A Bloomberg-grade operator console for alt-assets ops — near-black panels, single-pixel rules, live tickers and an event-log tail, where every row carries an ID, a timestamp and a keyboard shortcut.

Sells: power, speed, nothing-missed traceability for the ops team under deadline.

Inter + JetBrains Mono

Signature⌘K summons Ask SILC as a command palette — the question types itself, the answer prints with citations as selectable rows, a teal scan-glow sweeps the panels.

Toggle offGlow kills scanlines, sweeps and blinking live-dots — full utility, zero spectacle.

4 Luxury dark

Aurum

Private office

A private-office briefing in espresso and champagne gold — engraved serif numerals, thin gold hairlines and a leather-folio index, closer to a family-office annual report than a dashboard.

Sells: the investor-facing angle — wholesale clients see a private office, not a SaaS tool. Premium worthy of A$300M+ AUM.

Cormorant Garamond + Inter

Signature"Ask the desk" — a wax-sealed concierge drawer answering as a typeset memorandum, streaming word by word with gold-ruled policy citations.

Toggle offMotion disables hairline draw-ins, the drawer slide and streaming — everything lands instantly.

5 Modern light

Glasshouse

Modern glass

Light frosted-glass SaaS over a soft SILC-orange aurora — a morning briefing your team can read without a manual. Floating glass sidebar, KPI tiles with sparklines, and Ask SILC as a spotlight bar pinned top-centre.

Sells: adoption — your team already knows how to use this on day one, and it's modern enough to carry the tokenisation story.

Plus Jakarta Sans

SignatureThe spotlight bar expands into a frosted card — the answer streams in with first-class citation chips while the bar settles into a soft orange glow.

Toggle offReduce motion kills the card stagger, spark pop and spotlight glow.

A point of view on where to go

Lowest-risk evolutionkeep the brand equityEmber. The live demo already runs a close cousin of this. Ember is the "refine, don't rebuild" path — the team keeps its bearings and the product simply looks a generation more confident.

Brand / trust playboards, trustees, APRALedger. The most distinctive, and the strongest answer to "why is this defensible?" Every Ask SILC answer reads like a research memo with footnotes — credibility you can print.

Ops power usersanalysts under deadlineTerminal. If the daily users live in reconciliations, strikes and SLA clocks, the density, keyboard model and command palette repay themselves every single day.

Investor-facing skinthe portal & reportsAurum. Strongest as the client-portal theme — operations teams work in Ember or Terminal while wholesale investors see a private office. Two skins, one platform, is a genuine option.

Adoption playday-one usabilityGlasshouse. The friendliest on-ramp for a mixed team and the most contemporary frame for the tokenisation story.

These are deliberately distinct first-pass directions, not finished products — the point is to react and pick. They also blend: Ember's signal system + Terminal's command palette, or Glasshouse's shell with Ledger's memo answers. And because the operations side and the investor portal are separate surfaces, a different direction for each is entirely practical. Tell us which one (or which mix) resonates and we'll refine it into the build spec — every animated effect stays behind a toggle so daily users stay fast.
