The Scale Thesis mark.

A T that folds into an S: the top bar is the thesis, the ribbon underneath is the scale. One idea turning over into momentum. This page covers the logo, colours and usage rules, and links to the full asset pack.

Lockups

Emblem and wordmark.

Use the horizontal lockup by default: site header, email signature, decks, documents. Use the stacked version where the space is square: event signage, merch, a cover page.

Emblem

The mark on its own.

Once people know the brand, the emblem can stand alone: avatars, favicons, social posts, slide footers. Keep the gradient version wherever colour is available.

Clear space & size

Give it room.

Keep clear space of at least x on every side, where x is the height of the emblem's top bar. Below 24px, drop the wordmark and use the emblem alone.

Colour

Electric to signal blue.

The emblem runs a single gradient. The website keeps a lighter highlighter blue for buttons and highlights, which sits at the cyan end of the same range.

Logo gradient#0A6EF2 → #14CBFFEmblem only. Never flatten it into one colour.
Highlighter Blue#3DB8F5Website buttons, highlights, accents.
Deep Navy#0A1120Logo backgrounds, app icons, social.
Ink#0D1014Wordmark on light, body text.
Wordmark

Geist, upright into italic.

"Scale" is Geist Bold, "Thesis" is Geist Bold Italic, both tracked in slightly. The logo files have the letters converted to outlines, so they render identically everywhere.
