The KIT logo combines a blue sphere, red pyramid, yellow cube, and green cylinder above wide KIT lettering. The lettering and square border use Uno blue, #0067ED.
cover.png shows the logo with its Uno-blue perspective grid. previews/logo-clean.png is the alternate without the grid. The shapes use subtle face gradients and a curved two-tone sphere seam. There are no cast shadows.
Use Python 3.11 or later and librsvg. On macOS, install librsvg with brew install librsvg.
python3 build.pyThe command writes two SVGs to art/, two PNGs to previews/, and cover.png. The PNGs are 1000 by 1000 pixels. No Python packages are required.
Edit source/design.py for the face contours, gradient colors, and lettering dimensions. source/logo.py draws the shapes and grid.
The canonical repository is @christopher/kit-logo, on refs/heads/main. Keep each design iteration in a separate signed commit with its source, matching previews, and manifest. Restore older designs with a new commit so history remains intact.
Uno Kits does not accept SVG uploads. This repository stores editable drawing source and PNG previews. Build the SVGs locally from that source. manifest.json records the size and SHA-256 hash of every stored file except itself.
Nine exploratory treatments preserve the original contours and wide lettering. They include blue backgrounds with white lettering, rounded frames, standalone wordmarks, a horizontal arrangement, a compact tile, and a monochrome reverse. The approved grid and clean logos remain the primary assets.
source/variations.py defines each treatment. The build also writes individual SVGs to art/variations/ and PNGs to previews/variations/. previews/variations/comparison.png shows the set together.
source/shapes.py draws each solid individually and the original composition without lettering. Six treatments cover gradients, flat faces, Uno-blue tones, blue outlines, white reverses, and color on blue. Individual assets use an 800 by 800 canvas. The first four treatments have a transparent canvas; outline faces are opaque white so hidden edges remain hidden. Blue tiles have rounded corners.
Run the build to generate SVGs in art/shapes/ and PNGs in previews/shapes/. shape-library.png compares the 24 individual assets. symbol-library.png compares the six compositions. Individual solids share a scale and baseline within their canvases. Grouped symbols preserve the original relative positions. These assets supplement the approved logos.
The web assets add a white K favicon on Uno blue and a 1200 by 630 PNG social card with white solids and the KIT wordmark. previews/favicon/ contains the raster icons; previews/og/example.png is the rendered social card.
Run build.py, then web/generate.py to derive SVG web artwork and
favicons locally. For the social card, install dependencies in web/og/
with bun install --frozen-lockfile, run bun run dev, and fetch /og.png
from the local server. web/GUIDE.md describes integration in the website
repository; its relative asset links refer to that repository layout.
Run web/sphere.py to generate a white sphere on the same rounded Uno-blue tile as the K favicon. The curved seam follows the original sphere contour. previews/favicon/sphere-16.png, sphere-32.png, and sphere-48.png allow comparison at native browser sizes. The K remains the current favicon.
Run web/multi-shape.py for a two-solid alternate and three-solid alternates in white and full color. The three-solid arrangement combines a pyramid, sphere, and cube inside the rounded blue tile. previews/favicon/ contains each treatment at 16, 32, and 48 pixels. These are comparison assets; the K favicon remains available.
The cylinder alternate replaces the pyramid with the green cylinder. It keeps the sphere and cube in the same positions. three-cylinder-color uses the original gradients; three-cylinder is the white reverse. The source is web/multi-shape.py, with native-size PNGs in previews/favicon/.
The cylinder favicon places the sphere higher in the composition: its top is 20 units from the tile edge on the 64-unit canvas. The cube and cylinder keep their positions and sizes.
Run web/kit-square.py to fit the complete white KIT wordmark into a rounded Uno-blue square. The compact lettering uses a 50 by 40 unit box on a 64-unit canvas. Its taller proportions are specific to the favicon; the primary wordmark remains unchanged. SVG and ICO exports go to art/favicon/, with 16, 32, and 48 pixel PNGs in previews/favicon/.
