# Younunciate brand

## Current identity — October 6, 2026

The parrot forms the **o in you**, with the complete `you` in blue and `nunciate` in navy. The user supplied the new wordmark and authorized the coordinated identity update. Preserve its lettering and integrated composition. Use the standalone parrot O for collapsed navigation, app icons and favicons; do not add another parrot beside the full wordmark.

Light artwork uses blue #0875F5 and navy #102A60. Dark artwork uses blue #70A8FF and off-white #EAF0FF. Wordmarks and standalone marks have transparent backgrounds. Home-screen icons use the light mark on a white tile with internal padding. Favicons use a solid eye without the tiny highlight at 16/32 pixels.

## Assets and ownership

`public/brand/younunciate/parrot-o/wordmark-light.svg` and `mark-light.svg` are the outlined vector masters. These are actual paths, with no embedded bitmap or font dependency. The source supplied by the user is preserved as `parrot-o/source.png`. The vector trace flattens texture to two colors. The standalone O excludes the neighboring Y. Dark masters use the same geometry.

`src/components/brand.tsx` is the shared app/website identity component. `src/content/brand.json` owns the asset version (`parrot-o-v2`) for public cache invalidation. Next.js file-convention icons are content-versioned. Interface colors, typography, and behavior remain unchanged, except that the public landing sets its headings in Outfit to pair with the wordmark (owner, October 31, 2026; body text stays Geist). The wordmark lettering itself is unchanged. Older parrot-Y artwork is historical; do not run its exporter for the current identity.

Run `node scripts/brand/export-parrot-o.mjs` to export PNG companions, 16/32/64/180/192/512 icons, SVG favicon, multi-resolution ICO, Apple icon and social card from the vector masters. No extra runtime dependency is needed. Run `python3 scripts/brand/package.py` to rebuild the downloadable kit. The optional one-time `trace-parrot-o.mjs` script documents tracing provenance and its isolated Potrace tool dependency; routine exports do not need it.

The `/brand` page previews both themes and icon sizes and offers downloads. Provider-hosted sign-in, email templates and external account branding remain external configuration. Existing baked video watermarks are not changed by this UI identity update.

## Optical refinement — October 6

Version 2 replaces the traced bird with deliberately authored curves, a rounder head, a smoother beak, a smaller circular eye and a wider separating gap. The eye highlight is a transparent cutout. Wordmark lettering is preserved; stray trace slivers are removed. The same bird geometry is used in both wordmark and standalone mark. Mono SVG variants are included. The v1 masters are archived in `art/brand-qa/parrot-o-v1`; `refine-parrot-o.mjs` reproduces the refinement before running the normal exporter. Do not rerun the historical trace directly over the current masters.
