The press kit #

This page is for journalists, editors and creators who want the official press material of Exponential. It describes the press kit published on the project website, quotes its usage guidelines, and tells you which parts to complete or correct from this help. It was written after downloading and opening the kit on 18 October 2026; on 19 October 2026 the page still offered the same download, version 1.0.0, and its text had not changed.

Where the kit is #

The page introduces itself as "Everything you need to know about Exponential for media coverage, reviews, and partnerships". It gives the app name Exponential, the tagline "The simple, flexible and reliable website application engine", the system requirements "Works Everywhere, On Any OS", contact links (e-mail, Discord, X, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack) and a button "Download Complete Press Kit".

What the kit contains #

The ZIP file exponential-press-kit-v1-0-0.zip (about 43 KB) holds:

The kit names [email protected] as its contact for source files, video files and commercial licensing inquiries.

The usage guidelines, word for word #

From the kit's README.md, section "Usage Guidelines":

• Logos and brand assets may be used for editorial, review, and partnership coverage.
• Do not alter logo colors, proportions, or add effects.
• Do not use assets to imply endorsement without written permission.
• For commercial licensing inquiries, contact: [email protected]

These are the only published rules for the brand assets. The documentation of the project sets no further logo rules (Brand and naming rules). How to apply them is on Logos and brand assets.

What was still planned #

In version 1.0.0 the asset folders hold only their README files: they list the files that are meant to be added, not the files themselves.

The logos README also lists the brand colors: Dark Background #2b2d42, Accent / Red #e63946, Foreground #0f0f0f, Light Surface #f8f8f8.

Until the files are in the kit, ask for them by e-mail (Asking for material that is missing) or take your own screenshots (Taking your own screenshots).

Facts in the kit that are out of date #

The kit is dated June 2026. The repository has moved on since, and for release facts the repository wins:

The kit predates the news of 20 October 2026, which it therefore does not mention: as of 6.0.15 the Velocity Internet / Web Application Server is part of Exponential. The root composer.json requires se7enxweb/exponential-velocity ~0.0.4.57 (through se7enxweb/exponential-php-floor, on PHP 8.0 and later) (until then it was only suggested), and Velocity 0.0.4.54 runs on PHP 8.0 and later. Facts you can print, each with its source:

Do not call Velocity or FrankenPHP "experimental"; neither is. Print only the performance figures the documentation already states, with their method (How Velocity figures are measured).

The kit's key-facts table also contains two counts ("Active Properties" and "Forge Projects") for which this documentation has no source. Do not print them without asking how they were counted (Verifying numbers).

What this help adds to the kit #
