docs: simplify banner to grid + archway logo + wordmark#23
Merged
Conversation
The previous banner had too much text (version tag, subtitle, stat
tags, dashboard mockup). Replaced with the minimal version:
- Subtle grid of plus signs across the entire banner (graph paper feel,
very low contrast)
- Bold white sans-serif OPENGATEWAY wordmark, centered
- Small white outline archway icon to the left of the wordmark (a
simple gateway shape: two vertical lines with a horizontal bar
across the top, like an open door frame)
- One tiny orange dot inside the G (the model added it, kept it as
a single subtle accent)
Removed:
- Version tag (v0.1.0 / MIT / OpenAI-compatible)
- Subtitle ("the fastest way to add SSO, audit logs, and guardrails")
- Stat tags (12k req/s, 0ms overhead, 5+ providers)
- Dashboard mockup (Request Rate, P99 Latency, Active Keys, Daily Tokens)
The result is a quiet, editorial banner. The grid gives it texture
and tech feel without being noisy. The archway icon is the first
proper logo OpenGateway has had.

"Wide cinematic banner for OpenGateway AI gateway, 21:9 aspect ratio. Pure black background with a very subtle faint grid pattern of small plus signs across the entire banner (graph paper feel, very low contrast). Centered: a bold white sans-serif wordmark reading OPENGATEWAY. To the left of the wordmark: a small simple white outline icon, a clean geometric mark shaped like a doorway or gateway (two vertical lines with a horizontal bar across the top, like a simple archway frame). No subtitle text, no stats, no version, no dashboard, no other elements. Just the wordmark, the icon, and the subtle grid. Editorial minimalism, very flat, very refined. Pure black, white, and one subtle orange accent dot somewhere tiny. No gradients, no clouds, no purple." \

Summary
Replaced the previous banner (which had too much text: version tag, subtitle, three stat tags, dashboard mockup) with the minimal version. Just the wordmark, a proper logo, and a subtle grid background.

Other variations tried
>OG<: the grid was rendered as a tight marquee-style box around it which felt too cramped
