Baseline kit

The organisation's own identity and the base every family kit extends: black and warm off-white, no accent colour, status in words. Approved by the owner on 7 October 2026. Rules live in the guide; values live in tokens/, generated from source.json.

Contents#

Path	Holds	Status
`tokens/`	`source.json` and generated CSS, JSON, W3C DTCG JSON and Rust constants	Approved (owner, 2026-10-07)
`components/`	`controls.css`: the shared, framework-neutral controls layer	Reference implementation
`assets/vector/`	The emblem master and its reverses, the traced lockup, full renders and named pixel-size exports	Accepted masters
`assets/approved-raster/`	The original selected square and banner, byte-for-byte	Approved references
`icons/`	App icons generated from the plate variant (`.ico`, `.icns`, 512 px and 180 px apple-touch PNGs)	Generated
`validation/`	Emblem and lockup trace evidence (QA JSON, overlays, vector notes)	Evidence

Masters#

Emblem: assets/vector/cosmik-emblem-master-offwhite.svg is the accepted standalone master. cosmik-emblem-ink.svg reverses the same geometry; cosmik-emblem-primary.svg includes the original black canvas. Dark and light SVGs share one path.
Lockup: keep the approved original horizontal banner. Its vector lockup, assets/vector/cosmik-lockup-*.svg (the accepted emblem beside the outlined COSMIK wordmark), is the reusable logo, accepted on 11 October 2026. It is traced from the banner by scripts/trace-cosmik-lockup.mjs; geometry is in assets/vector/cosmik-lockup.source.json and evidence in validation/lockup-qa.json and validation/lockup-trace-overlay.png. The wordmark overlaps the banner by 99.1% with every edge within 1 px. The emblem is the accepted master, which differs slightly from the banner's own drawing (93.6% overlap; its horn tips and inner flare).
Small identity: where a product UI needs something smaller than the lockup, use the emblem followed by the live label “Cosmik” in Inter 500 (type role identity-label). No supporting font matches the wordmark; never recreate it.

Do not redraw, stretch, rotate, crop into the flare or add effects (see identity).

Exports#

The numeric suffix of a raster export is the full canvas width and height in physical pixels: show a 96 px export at 48 CSS px for a 2× source. Export names do not promise an optical redesign at small sizes. SVGs preserve the 1254-square source composition and its clear space.

Known gaps#

The current asset and verification gaps are recorded under known_gaps in asset-manifest.json. Browser evidence and remaining manual checks are in specimen validation; do not interpret an approved identity as a product accessibility certification.

Interface use#

Use the consumer guide for tokens and fonts, and the shared interface and motion rules for behavior. The baseline expresses hierarchy through type, spacing and structure; it does not need an invented accent colour or decorative animation to feel polished.
