Social media
ProposedHow do the units appear on social media?
Already settled
- The profile pictures (ADR-0019): each brand's full-bleed tile, the disc in the signature with the two letters fitted by their ink to the safe circle; AKRIBIS One, the ring with its dot; the parent, "ak" in deep teal. For black and white, the whole word in white on ink; AKRIBIS One and the parent stacked. Published per brand at /marks/<id>/<id>-avatar.svg and -avatar-ink.svg, with PNG at 400, 800 and 1200 px.
Specification
- The profile picture is square and the platform crops it round: it is the same artwork as the maskable icon, so what holds for one holds for the other. The ground is opaque, in the signature, because platforms flatten transparency unpredictably.
- The letters are fitted by their ink, the smallest circle around the outlines, to the 80 % safe circle; one scale for all, set by the widest pair, so all share one x-height (40 % of the square). The centre of the ink's circle, not the box's, goes to the centre.
- Black and white: the whole word in white on ink, each fitted to the circle on its own, because the words differ in length; legible from about 80 px. The two-word marks, AKRIBIS One and the parent, are stacked and centred, without the ring.
- Upload the 400 px PNG where 400 is asked (LinkedIn, X), the 800 where more is (YouTube, WhatsApp), the 1200 as the master.
To re-reason
- Which networks each unit uses.
- Covers.
- Post templates.
- The voice on social media.
Evidence to audit
- brand/evidence/avatar-study.png (brand/src/study-avatar.ts): the One ring as a frame in four colourings (declined), the chosen tile and the black-and-white word, at profile and feed size, on white and on ink
Delivers
- Profile pictures (delivered)
- covers and templates per unit.
Decision
Figures
For black and white: the whole word in white on ink, each fitted to the circle on its own; the two-word marks, AKRIBIS One and the parent, stacked and centred, without the ring. Legible from about 80 px; below that, the colour one.
Cropped round as a platform does: at profile size, at feed size on white and on ink, and the black-and-white version. SVG and PNG at 400, 800 and 1200 px in each brand's downloads.
