Brand Guidelines
A fermentation monitor that knows when your kombucha is ready. Engineered in Italy.
GetBolla is a fermentation monitor. A physical sensor that sits in your brewing vessel, measures pH and temperature, and tells you exactly when your kombucha is ready.
The name comes from bolla — bubble in Italian. Carbonation is the sign of life in fermentation — every bubble is proof that transformation is happening.
Brand concept
Living Precision
We monitor a living process with technical precision, but never lose the warmth of what makes fermentation beautiful.
Alive
Organic, warm, breathing
Precise
Measured, confident, clear
Opinionated
Helpful, direct, not neutral
Crafted
Considered, intentional, Italian
The Mark
Three ascending bubbles — representing carbonation, transformation, and the rising quality of a well-monitored brew. The mark works on dark, light, and brand backgrounds.
Wordmark
Set in Fraunces SemiBold, always lowercase. The optical sizing and soft axis give the wordmark an organic, crafted feel.
Lockup
Horizontal lockup. Mark and wordmark are vertically centered. The mark uses the brand amber; the wordmark uses the contextual foreground color.
Clear Space
Maintain a minimum clear space of x around the mark, where x equals the radius of the smallest bubble.
Don’t
Skew or distort
Low contrast
Add effects
Rotate the mark
Ambra
Primary brand color. The warm amber of brewed kombucha.
Salvia
Secondary. Represents the living culture, freshness, readiness.
Pietra
Neutral scale. Warm-leaning for text, backgrounds, and borders.
Fermentation Stages
Semantic colors for brew status. Functional, not decorative.

Real-time monitoring
A sensor that sits in your brewing vessel, measuring pH and temperature continuously.
Your kombucha tells you when it's ready. You just need to listen.
Engineered in Italy. Built for home brewers.
Fermentation stage
GetBolla has a point of view. We don't say "the pH is 3.2" — we say "your kombucha is ready to bottle." We interpret data so the brewer doesn't have to.
We're the knowledgeable friend in the kitchen, not a lab instrument. Conversational, empathetic, direct. Second person. Short sentences.
Primary language is Italian. English as a secondary locale. The brand's origin is part of its identity — "Engineered in Italy" is a trust signal, not decoration.
Technical accuracy in sensor data, stage thresholds, and timing. Casual warmth in messaging and guidance. Know when to be exact and when to be human.
Do
“La tua kombucha sta fermentando bene.”
Direct, reassuring, personal
“Pronta da imbottigliare.”
Clear action, no jargon
“Troppo acida — ma non buttarla.”
Honest + helpful
Don’t
“The current pH level indicates optimal fermentation parameters.”
Clinical, impersonal
“Your brew might be ready, maybe check it?”
Hedge language, no confidence
“ERROR: pH below threshold value.”
Alarming, unhelpful

Motion should feel organic — like bubbles rising, not mechanical transitions. Breathing, floating, easing into place.
Every animation communicates something. Entrance reveals hierarchy. Stage transitions show progress. Idle motion shows the system is alive.
One well-orchestrated entrance beats ten scattered micro-interactions. Focus motion budget on high-impact moments.
Easing
Organic
cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) Primary easing. Quick start, gentle settle. Used for entrances, reveals, layout shifts.
Bounce
cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1) Playful overshoot. Use sparingly for moments of delight — successful actions, celebrations.
