# DYSONX VI · Final approved identity
Status: **Owner-approved visual direction — 2026-11-02**

## Official reference
Owner explicitly approved the last VI logo concept board in the conversation (balanced and clearly visible cross-orbit design, not the earlier asymmetric thin-tailed mark). This implementation constructs an SVG from a geometry study of the approved image; it is an authored vector reconstruction, not a claim to possess the original raster-generation paths.

## Identity
- Master brand: **DYSONX**.
- Concept: two **balanced, interlocking intelligence orbits** at equal and opposite angles, sharing one centered geometry.
- Variable-width orbital ribbons are thicker and rounded at the outside turns and thinner through the center, with continuous smooth ends, full symmetry and strong visibility when small.
- First orbit: muted sky blue through silver blue (`#7EA4CD`, `#A0C4E2`, `#B0C7DB`).
- Second orbit: deep blue to ocean blue to cyan (`#2C74D0`, `#48ABE0`, `#00D8CB`).
- Full wordmark: solid slate `#415466` on light, white on a dark slate surface; spacious lettering. Keep color gradients inside the *mark* only, never in the title or body type.
- Supporting 5-color VI palette remains: `#415466`, `#6E8AA7`, `#D6E4EF`, `#E8F7FB`, `#6EE7F3`.
- Light-first presentation with off-white background, disciplined typography and generous whitespace. Dark slate is allowed as an application card, not the dominant page backdrop.

## Canonical source files
- `symbol.svg`: transparent primary master logo mark.
- `wordmark-dark.svg`: primary combined logo for white/light backgrounds.
- `wordmark-light.svg`: reverse wordmark for dark blue/slate backgrounds.
- `favicon.svg`: the same symmetrically balanced twin-orbit mark on a **fully transparent canvas**. No background rectangle, rounded tile, frame, shadow, or color fill outside the two orbit paths.
- `app-icon.svg`: same mark on a pale translucent-gradient launcher tile.
- `brand-tokens.css`: existing unchanged color and font tokens.
- `index.html`: comprehensive visual identity website and working links.

## Consistency
The Favicon is artwork-only and must remain fully transparent in the SVG, at every browser/app tab size and in all official VI page previews. Do not impose a CSS background, border, radius, or drop shadow on its sample images. The app icon remains a separate product application and may have its approved pale launcher tile.

All above marks use the exact same dual-orbit path definitions; do not manually redesign the favicon or app icon separately. Do not restore the former thin-tailed/asymmetric mark, earlier standard ellipses, dark space/cosmic themes, inconsistent letter colors, gray-on-white faint marks, or multiple competing logos. Keep essential text readable. Test the actual favicon at 16, 32 and 64px, and retain SVG scalability.

## Canonical entry and release
The sole official brand website is `https://dysonx.com/VI/`, source `public/VI/index.html` and `public/VI/assets/`. The former `/VI2/` URL is a compatibility redirect to `/VI/`; its old asset links remain for bookmarks only. Preserve root news site, news favicon, CNAME, collection/data workflows and production API/billing. Revisions require branch, PR and independent live verification.
