Ciao in brief
Use either version as written.
Short
Ciao builds AI apps and agents for companies doing $50M to $500M a year in the real economy: distributors, manufacturers, contractors, field service and trades businesses, trucking firms and professional services firms. Its engineers build around how each business already works, on top of the systems it already runs.
Long
Ciao builds AI apps and agents for companies doing $50M to $500M a year in the real economy: distributors, manufacturers, contractors, field service and trades businesses, trucking firms and professional services firms. Its mission is to close the diffusion gap, the distance between what AI can do and what businesses like these actually do with it.
Every engagement starts with a call about where a team loses the most time. Ciao's agents build the first version of the software from that call, with its engineers steering, and the team then stays to wire it into the systems the business already runs and keep it doing the job. Ciao is backed by Nebular, Pebblebed, Uncommon Projects and Foreword, and by angels including some of the founders of OpenAI and Meta Superintelligence Labs. It has offices in San Francisco, London and Dublin.

Logo
The seal is the mark: CIAO cut out of a Torch stamp. Next to the name it makes the logo. The pixel wordmark is the backup.
- Use the files as they are. Don't redraw the letters, recolour the seal, add effects, or set the name in another typeface.
- The letters in the seal are holes, so they show whatever is behind them. Put the seal on a plain background so they stay readable.
- Leave clear space around the seal at least as wide as one of its letters.
- Use the seal on its own for avatars and app icons: 512 px avatar.
- The pixel wordmark is the backup, for places that already use the pixel type. Scale it by whole numbers (2x, 3x, 4x) so every pixel stays sharp.
