# FORK / Y2K design code v2

## The idea
The token is a fixed core. The model is a replaceable mind. The orbit-fork emblem and selectable model cartridges make that mechanism visible. The landing, builder, recorded-model audition and brand page use the same material hierarchy.

## Palette and material
Midnight aubergine #100d17, signal magenta #ff35ad, silver #d3d3dd, ice #f3f1f8. Chrome is a stepped vertical reflection from ice to grey, a narrow dark horizon and a bright lower edge. Use it for the signature, instrument housing and tactile controls. Magenta is a display/signal surface; dark text sits on it. Ice on aubergine is the reading pair. No random neon colors or small white text over magenta.

## Type
Michroma for wide display headlines and FORK signature. Space Grotesk400/700 for prose and readable results. Silkscreen for short instrument labels only; never paragraphs. Do not apply fake bold to Michroma or Silkscreen. Three roles, one consistent hierarchy. Fonts are self-hosted; each has its own included SIL OFL.

## Logo
Use the chrome primary wordmark on aubergine, white on dark, magenta on dark/light if sufficient contrast. A one-color branch mark stays geometrically identical. Clear space: one quarter of mark height. Minimum horizontal logo width140 CSSpx or35mm; symbol24 CSSpx. Dedicated32px favicon scales for a16px tab. Do not stretch the mark, add organic bulbs or recreate the rejected twin-head silhouette. The wide slant belongs to the display wordmark only.

## Composition
A chrome body contains a magenta screen, then a darker model-control strip. Chrome borders are structural, not every card. Circular nodes connect the creator, challenger and holder decision along one signal path. Keep product purpose and useful action prominent. Never copy the gallery split or a fake terminal dashboard.

## Platform safe zones
X1500×500: essential copy above y375; bottom-left x0–365/y375–500 stays free of important text and objects. Square1080:64px copy inset. Story1080×1920:essential copy between y250 and1670,64px sides. Art may extend beyond safe zones; text cannot cover the token core or collide with another element. Preview actual mobile crop/profile masks before posting; dimensions alone do not prove readability. OG1200×630 must work at600×315.

## Motion
Slow floating orbit,8–12seconds, no strobe, audio or fake live volume. Honor prefers-reduced-motion. Selecting a model changes the blueprint/model audition only; it is not a public transaction.

## Claims
Say “Create an AI agent with a token. Let holders choose its next model.” Current release: public landing and unsigned blueprint export, locally verified protocol. Do not claim public issuance, audit, revenue, holders, live trading or guaranteed profit without evidence. Templates are editing masters, not reports of events. Domain purchase is Dynadot only; Vercel hosts the site.

## Export
From the FORK project: npm run brand:build regenerates vectors/PNGs/ZIP/public assets; npm run build refreshes the local page. The native fork-orbit.svg remains editable. Install included fonts before editing *.editable.svg.
