AKRIBIS One mark

Proposed

How is AKRIBIS One drawn, what colour is it, and how does it endorse the units?

Already settled

  • "one" is set from the glyph library, in the same construction as "akribis" (ADR-0011).
  • The ring derives from the letters: diameter = x-height, stroke = stem / 3, dot = one stem wide. The ring lockup is primary; dot and letters-only are alternatives by use; the stacked one sets "akribis" over "one", centred and without the ring (ADR-0012, amended by ADR-0019). All four are published at /marks/akribis-one/.

Specification

  1. A colour of its own (ADR-0016, proposed): the AKRIBIS hue at ramp step 950, the teal ink (#002f34). Three marks called AKRIBIS, one hue, three steps: the unit at 500, the company at 800, One at 950. No free slot of the wheel is spent. It is the tone akribis.one already used as its "deep teal-ink" (#0e2a2e, ΔE 1.9 away).
  2. The spectrum: in the colour version, the ring is one continuous, closed gradient through the nine signatures in hue order, AKRIBIS at the top centre, clockwise with rising hue, in equal shares (40° each), interpolated in OKLCH along the shorter hue arc. In SVG it is drawn as 360 one-degree arcs; in CSS it is --one-spectrum (conic-gradient in oklch). Letters and dot take the teal ink.
  3. One dot: the ring's centre dot, the dot lockup's separator and the favicon's dot are the same size, one stem wide (radius = stem / 2), like the i's dot.
  4. Geometry set once and used everywhere: brand/marks/ring.yaml holds proportions (of the stem and the x-height), not measurements; units.json and manifest.json publish the numbers and the fractions of the diameter (stroke 8.77 %, dot 26.32 %), and base.css exposes them as --one-ring-stroke and --one-ring-dot.
  5. Colourways: colour (teal ink + spectrum), ink and white, for the ring and the four lockups; tight, with clearspace, inline (currentColor) and PNG at 512, 1024 and 2048. Icons (ADR-0017): the ring in white on the teal ink, solid in favicon.svg and .ico and with the spectrum from 64 px up.
  6. The spectrum appears only in the ring, and in at most one signature element per page; never as a background, a wash or decoration. Below 24 px, the solid ring.
  7. Roles on One's site: signature 950, accent 800 (the structural teal akribis.one already uses), hover 900, active 950; in dark, signature 200, accent 300.

To re-reason

  • The endorsement "Una unidad de AKRIBIS One": sizes, placements, on dark grounds. The ring as the frame of the profile picture was tried and declined (ADR-0018).
  • A colour version on dark grounds (white or teal 200 letters with the spectrum), not published today: only teal ink, ink and white.
  • The ring in motion on the sites (the orbits of akribis.info, akiot.es, sol-farma.com): whether the spectrum turns, and how it relates to the units' clockwise order, which is not the hue order.

Evidence to audit

  • communications-platforms · Branding/akribis-one-logo/ (ring ink, reverse, spectrum: 160 arcs in hue order), Branding/akribis-one-lockup/ (teal akribis + graphite one #4D5358, which is neutral-800 within ΔE 0.8)
  • AKRIBIS-Group/design@main · brand/decisions/05-akribis-one-colour.md (no hue of its own; the ring in hue order, nine equal shares, OKLCH)
  • Websites/akribis_one · src/styles/global.css (--color-teal-deep #0e2a2e, «deep teal-ink signature»; structural teal #005e6e)

Delivers

  • Ring and lockup in every colourway
  • the ring's geometry and the spectrum as data and tokens
  • and the endorsement lockups for every size.

AKRIBIS One

The ring, derived from the letters (ADR-0012) and published in three colourways (ADR-0016): colour, ink and white. Diameter = the x-height; stroke = one third of a stem, the gap between the i's dot and its stem; dot one stem wide, like the i's dot. It is one dot: the ring's centre, the lockup's separator and the favicon's. Below 24 px the solid ring is used: the spectrum muddies.

The four versions of the lockup in colour: the letters in AKRIBIS One's teal ink and the spectrum in the ring (ADR-0016); all with "one" from the glyph library (ADR-0011). The ring is primary; the stacked one sets "akribis" over "one", centred and without the ring, 1.5 x-heights apart baseline to baseline (ADR-0012, amended by ADR-0019). The separator sits in a slot of 100 original units centred between the words: dot and ring swap without moving the letters, and the dot is the ring's own centre dot.
