The mark is a single chrome lens — the light the whole system is made of — beside a calm, wide-tracked wordmark. It reads as premium kit on a screen, on a boot splash, and debossed into metal. (Name is a working codename; the system survives a rename.)
One squircle of polished chrome, lit hard from the upper left with a faint accent bloom in the lower glass. Never flat, never tinted — the depth is the identity.
Three sanctioned grounds. The chrome lens carries its own light on graphite; on chrome surfaces it inverts to graphite; in one-colour print it becomes a keyline squircle.
Cold start to ready in seconds. The lens forms and sharpens from a blur, the wordmark fades up, a thin progress line fills, then the attract loop takes over. Offline-first: it boots and runs with no network.
