The lockup on the dark track
The light-background lockup, rebuilt for the glass canvas: the same five blades and the same
geometry, never redrawn, with a gradient across each blade, a specular bevel and a cast shadow so the mark sits
proud of the surface. Three variants differ only in which colours the blades and the wordmark carry. Shown at
lockup size, at masthead size, as the mark alone down to favicon scale, and inside a frosted tile in case the
masthead keeps a plate.
A · Brand blades, raised
The five blades keep their true hexes. Every blade carries a top-left to bottom-right gradient plus a specular bevel and a cast shadow, so the mark reads as raised rather than lit from within. Wordmark in ink, rule and CAPITAL in the lightened siblings, since both are thin marks.

B · Navy and teal blades lifted
Identical treatment, except the two blades that measure below 1.2:1 on this canvas take their chart-tier siblings: navy to #6e8dc7, teal to #1e9baa, petrol to #5497aa. Maroon and gold are untouched. All five blades separate from each other and from the canvas.

C · Lifted blades, gold wordmark
Variant B with the wordmark in gold rather than ink, since gold is the one brand colour that carries at text weight on this canvas at 6.58:1.
