It folds in the full Kickstand brand guidelines, the animated logo + sonic mnemonic, the monochrome app-icon family, Kel the mascot, the deck design system, and the current design rules.++---++## The logo++The Adom logoshape is a **2D rendering of the Schrödinger wave function for the hydrogen atom** — not the outdated Bohr orbital everyone else draws. That atomic precision is echoed in the bonds between the letters of the custom-drawn wordmark.++And the spelling is intentional: **"Adom," not "atom."** To avoid accusations of pedantry, we spelled it wrong — added bonus, the trademark was available.++**Five variants, one identity.** Use Primary whenever you can.++| Variant | When to use |+|---|---|+| **Primary** | Default — full blue→teal→purple gradient wordmark |+| **One Color** | Busy / photo backgrounds. Teal `#00B8B1` |+| **White** | Reversed, on dark backgrounds |+| **Black & White** | Non-color printing |+| **Grayscale** | Non-color printing, alternative |+| **Favicon** | When space is too small for the full logo |++**Clear space:** keep a minimum margin of **one electron cloud** (one lobe of the mark) on every side.++> ⛔ **Never fabricate the logo.** Use the real SVGs in `assets/` (white / black / teal / icon) — never invent a stand-in, never a letter-in-a-box, never AI-generate the wordmark.++---++## Color++Teal `#00B8B1` is the primary accent. The signature gradient sweeps **blue → teal → purple**. Use RGB on screen, CMYK in print.++++| Name | Hex | RGB | CMYK |+|---|---|---|---|+| Blue Light | `#64ABFF` | 100 171 255 | C54 M25 Y0 K0 |+| Teal Light | `#8FD3D4` | 143 211 212 | C33 M0 Y0 K17 |+| Purple Light | `#C5B3FF` | 197 179 255 | C23 M29 Y0 K0 |+| Blue Dark | `#0061EF` | 0 97 239 | C83 M64 Y0 K0 |+| **Teal** | **`#00B8B1`** | **0 184 177** | **C74 M1 Y37 K0** |+| Purple | `#8C6BF7` | 140 107 247 | C59 M63 Y0 K0 |+| Black | `#191919` | 25 25 25 | C73 M67 Y65 K79 |+| Navy | `#00204F` | 0 32 79 | C100 M91 Y37 K40 |+| Teal Dark | `#003C3F` | 0 60 63 | C93 M57 Y60 K50 |+| Purple Dark | `#4323AD` | 75 35 173 | C84 M92 Y0 K0 |++**Dark-UI design tokens** (every Adom viewer/webview — dark theme, always): `bg #0d1117` · `surface #161b22` · `elevated #1c2128` · `border #30363d` · `text #e6edf3` · `text2 #8b949e` · `accent #00b8b0` · `accent-bright #00e6dc` · `purple #8C6BF7`.++---++## Typography++**Familjen Grotesk** for big, bold headlines. **Satoshi** for everything you read. **JetBrains Mono** for code.++++> ⛔ **Never** use Inter, Arial, Helvetica, or system fonts as the primary face. Brand fonts are hosted at `https://adom.inc/fonts/…` and bundled in `assets/` — see the SKILL for copy-paste `@font-face` blocks.++---++## Motion & sound++The animated logo is the brand's signature moment — the wave-function lobes resolve into the mark — paired with a **4-second sonic mnemonic produced by Kickstand**. Use them together for intros, splash screens, and loaders.++++- **Animation (web):** [`Adom-atom-final.mp4`](/blob/skill/brand/animation/Adom-atom-final.mp4) · [loop mark](/blob/skill/brand/animation/Adom-atom-loop-mark.mp4) · [white bg](/blob/skill/brand/animation/Adom-atom-white-bg.mp4)+- **Animation (GIF):** [full lockup](/blob/skill/brand/animation/adom-animated-1080p.gif) · [mark only](/blob/skill/brand/animation/adom-mark-1080p.gif)+- **Sound:** [`adom-mnemonic-4sec.wav`](/blob/skill/brand/animation/adom-mnemonic-4sec.wav) (Kickstand final mix, June 2024)+- **ProRes masters** (transparent `.mov`, 47 MB + 60 MB) exceed the wiki's 10 MB file limit — they live in `gallia/brand/logos/Animated Logo/`.++---++## Icon system++Every Adom tool ships a **custom, hand-drawn icon** — single color (`#e6edf3` / `currentColor`), 24×24 grid, no gradients, no drop shadows, **no emoji**. The whole family renders uniformly white to prove the rule.++++Source icons in [`icons/`](/blob/skill/brand/icons/): chipfit, chipsmith, digikey, jlcpcb, mouser, parts-search, port-hints, quicklook, step, symbol, tsci, tts, video, video-post, shotlog, vscode — plus the favicon family in [`assets/`](/blob/skill/brand/assets/).++---++## Kel — the mascot++Kel is the friendly face of Adom: the bespectacled engineer-next-door who voices the Adom bot in Google Chat, helps in onboarding, and gives the brand a person to talk to. Two official busts — the classic look and the Adom-cap edition. Keep him warm, approachable, competent — never a cartoon, never off-model. Source: `assets/kel-*`.++++---++## Presentation & deck design++How Adom slides are built — reverse-engineered from the Kickstand-designed decks into a repeatable system. Full detail lives in the **[brand-deck skill](/blob/skill/brand/skills/brand-deck/SKILL.md)** — read it before making or restyling a deck.++++The core move: **Familjen Grotesk titles with one key phrase accented** in teal or purple; **Satoshi** body with **dash** bullets; backgrounds chosen by slide *role* — **gradient = wow · Purple-Dark = quotes · Navy = dense content · Teal-Dark = solutions · white = proof.** Layouts: title, statement/quote, two-column (the workhorse), single-column, image+text (squircle-masked images), nested-circle & cycle diagrams, three-column. The **concentric-arc "onion" texture** anchors the bottom-right corner of solid dark slides.++---++## Tiling & patterns++Kickstand's repeatable textures that "play off PCB/electronics in an ethereal way." Each ships as a `currentColor` SVG, so it tints to any context — place on dark navy/teal/purple at **6–22% opacity**, behind content.++++Source tiles: [`onion-corner.svg`](/blob/skill/brand/tiling/onion-corner.svg) · [`pcb-trace.svg`](/blob/skill/brand/tiling/pcb-trace.svg) · [`dot-grid.svg`](/blob/skill/brand/tiling/dot-grid.svg) · [`pill-field.svg`](/blob/skill/brand/tiling/pill-field.svg).++---++## Design system — the rules++- **Dark theme, always** — page `#0d1117`, panels `#161b22`. Never light backgrounds for primary viewer content.+- **Teal is the accent** — highlights `#00b8b1 → #00e6dc` on hover. Purple `#8C6BF7` for grouping.+- **Soft corners, smooth motion** — buttons ≥ 6px radius, cards ≥ 10px; every hover transition `0.15s ease`.+- **Frosted-glass surfaces** — `rgba(22,27,34,.92)` + `backdrop-filter: blur(16px)`, subtle teal border, soft deep shadow.+- **Every icon monochrome white** — `#e6edf3` / `currentColor`; no colored icons, no emoji as UI glyphs.+- **Never fabricate the logo** — use the real SVGs.+- **Don't name competitors publicly** — lead with absolute Adom values ($2 board, 4-hour turn, Mouser drone delivery, Fort Worth).+- **Tone: pros + makers, leaning pro** — competent-engineer voice; prefer "laptop / desk / anywhere."++Full implementation detail (theme tokens, `@font-face` blocks, button/card/tooltip CSS, the pre-publish icon audit) is in **[SKILL.md](/blob/skill/brand/SKILL.md)** — read it before any visual work.++---++## Install the skills++```bash+adompkg install adom/brand+```++Drops `brand` + `brand-deck` into `~/.claude/skills/` so Claude Code reads the brand rules before generating any viewer, webview, mockup, deck, or marketing surface.++## Talk to the AI++- **Stay on-brand:** *"Read the brand skill, then make this page on-brand."* · *"Dark theme, teal accents, Familjen Grotesk headlines."*+- **Make a deck:** *"Make an on-brand Adom slide deck."* · *"What background for a problem slide?"* · *"Add the Adom corner texture to this slide."*+- **Look something up:** *"What's the Adom primary teal hex?"* · *"What font for body text?"* · *"Show the logo clear-space rule."*+- **Use the assets:** *"Play the Adom sonic mnemonic."* · *"Give me the animated logo MP4."* · *"Drop the Adom favicon into this app."*++## Downloads++| Asset | File |+|---|---|+| Brand Guidelines PDF (15pp, Kickstand) | [`pdf/Adom-Brand-Guidelines.pdf`](/blob/skill/brand/pdf/Adom-Brand-Guidelines.pdf) |+| Animated logo (MP4 / GIF) | [`animation/`](/blob/skill/brand/animation/) |+| Sonic mnemonic (WAV) | [`animation/adom-mnemonic-4sec.wav`](/blob/skill/brand/animation/adom-mnemonic-4sec.wav) |+| Logos & favicons (SVG/PNG) | [`assets/`](/blob/skill/brand/assets/) |+| App icons (SVG) | [`icons/`](/blob/skill/brand/icons/) |+| Tiling patterns (SVG) | [`tiling/`](/blob/skill/brand/tiling/) |++---++*Source: the Kickstand brand guidelines + decks + the gallia `brand` skill.
