Logo lab
CT's acacia sketch, vectorized faithfully — his linework, untouched — then run through ink treatments, lockups, and the small sizes where a logo earns its keep. Nothing here changes the site until you pick.
CT's sketch, kept
The version live on the site today was a simplified redraw — plain ellipses standing in for CT's canopy pads. The faithful trace instead vectorizes his drawing directly: every wobble, taper, and uneven pad is his. It's a 4KB file, recolorable like any SVG.
Treatments on the Indigo Oath palette
All six use the faithful trace. The two-tone versions split trunks from canopies — brass pads read as the acacia's flat crown catching light, and give the mark a signature move no single-color version has.
Mark + wordmark
The horizontal lockup is the nav arrangement. The stacked version suits email footers, slide title pages, and the one-pager. The tagline line is optional — shown once so you can react to it.
Where the pads dissolve
The full mark holds its shape down to about 28px. Below that the canopy pads merge into smudges — which is why the favicon and social avatar need their own simplified variant, not a shrunken copy. Three candidates below, each shown at 32px and 16px — F1 and F3 are cropped straight from CT's trace, not redrawn.
On the site, in the tab, as an avatar
The faithful trace dropped into the places it will actually live.
