Identity · locked direction · A02 One Stroke

One mark for the man and the show.

A single sumi brushstroke that reads as J and N without spelling either one out. It carries the yoga and the recovery thread without a lotus or a sunrise anywhere near it, and the dry-brush tail keeps it human next to the structural language of the site.

Redrawn as clean vector from the exploration render, so it is now resolution independent and holds its texture down to 24px. Everything below is that one SVG recoloured.

Clear space

One stroke-height on every side

Gold line is the minimum keep-out. Nothing crosses it, including photo edges.

Rules

What holds and what breaks it
DO

Use the mask so the mark inherits the colour of whatever it sits on. One flat colour at all times.

DON'T

Never stretch or condense it. The brush weight is directional and distortion kills the stroke.

DON'T

No containing box, badge, or circle. It is a brushstroke on a surface, not a button.

DON'T

Never rotate it. The stroke already has an angle built into the gesture.
