KIT logo

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.

Build

Use Python 3.11 or later and librsvg. On macOS, install librsvg with brew install librsvg.

python3 build.py

The 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.

Version history

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.

Brand variations

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.

Shape library

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.

Favicons and social cards

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.
