Branding & Assets

Official assets and guidelines for referencing Aegis-Beacon. Use these when writing about the project, presenting it, or building on the code.

Brand Mark

The mark is a radio beacon mast with an outgoing signal ping. It stands for the device's purpose: transmitting a locator signal when no network remains. The mark is always drawn in signal orange on the surface it sits on; it is never recolored, outlined or rotated.

Primary mark On graphite or dark surfaces
Reversed mark On signal orange or light surfaces
Lockup on light Signal orange on near-white
Wordmark lockup Mark + Chakra Petch wordmark

Usage: keep clear space around the mark equal to the height of the signal ping. Do not modify, distort, recolor, add shadows to, or place the mark on busy photography.

Color

The palette is one signal orange plus neutral surfaces. The orange is defined in OKLCH in public/css/site.css; the hex values below are its sRGB equivalents for use in documents that cannot express OKLCH.

Signal orange (dark) #FB7500 oklch(0.71 0.19 50) Brightened for dark surfaces. Meets AA on graphite.

Voice

Write plainly about a serious tool. The beacon is safety equipment for mountain and backcountry use; the copy reflects that: direct, specific, no hype.

Do

  • Write "Aegis-Beacon" with the hyphen on first reference
  • Say what the device does: transmits Morse SOS with position
  • Call the firmware a beacon, not a gadget
  • Recommend certified PLB/EPIRB gear for life-threatening use

Do not

  • Shorten to "Aegis" or "Beacon" in prose
  • Claim it replaces certified distress beacons
  • Use marketing superlatives or emoji
  • Imply an endorsement by any SAR organization
