About Rippling

Rippling is a workforce platform that brings HR, payroll, IT, and finance together around shared employee data. Its brand communicates clarity, connected systems, and less friction in the work of running a business.

Use Rippling’s logo, the ripple symbol beside the RIPPLING name, as the default. The standalone symbol is also an established brand mark; use it when a compact mark is more appropriate. Keep both marks distinct and legible, and choose a version suited to the background and available space.

Rippling’s voice

Write with directness and momentum. Lead with the business outcome, then make the value concrete: connected data, automation, speed, visibility, or less manual work. Keep language confident and plainspoken, and use short, memorable statements to frame bigger ideas.

  • “We free smart people to work on hard problems”
  • “Rippling eliminates the friction from running a business”
  • “When everything runs on one system, work moves faster”

Dos and don’ts

Do

  • Connect the platform story to practical outcomes such as simpler work, clearer reporting, and automation.
  • Write in active, direct language that moves from a customer need to a tangible benefit.
  • Use the full logo or the standalone symbol as the brand identifier, according to the space and context.
  • Use the signature orange for emphasis and plum and berry for depth in branded visuals.

Don’t

  • Don’t describe Rippling as a disconnected bundle of tools; emphasize the shared platform and data foundation.
  • Don’t rely on vague claims where a specific benefit can be stated.
  • Don’t recolor, stretch, or redraw the ripple symbol or the RIPPLING name.
