The OpenBook logo was inspired by the 5 day outlook calendars we all look at every day. Much like blocked off time in a calendar, the blocks that make up the OpenBook logo are flexible, versatile, and ever changing to adapt to the needs of the individual and their work.

The modular logomark can work across a wide variety of arrangements based on any number of contextual needs.

The desktop grid is constructed on the same 5 column calendar inspired grid that the logo is built on. The hero features looping video conference styled clips of key mentors.


When users click through the booking process, they reach a dynamic discipline selector.

The site gives Critical Mass the opportunity to feature mentors.


The calendar is the central interactive element in the experience and navigates users through a fresh booking flow.
