VERIDIS — ARTICULATION IDENTITY

SELECTED DIRECTION / ARTICULATION
The user selected the second concept for its excavator-bucket character.
The mark is now integrated as the initial v of veridis. It replaces the letter;
there is no separate icon duplicated before the name.

INTEGRATED WORDMARK
The original Articulation geometry is preserved, including the stepped lip,
angled bowl. The detached square above the bucket has been removed. Translated by (-8, +2), its main form
spans x=0–64 and y=21–74, aligning with the remaining letters' x-height and
baseline. The e through s shift right by 16 units to preserve the original
8-unit gap after the v. The integrated wordmark uses viewBox 0 0 346 80.

The lowercase letters are original filled SVG paths. Open terminals, a wide
stance, and square i dots complement the bucket form. No external font
is required; no live text appears inside the logo SVGs.

STANDALONE MARK
Articulation remains available on its own for compact applications. Do not
place it directly before the integrated wordmark: that would repeat the v.
The standalone mark retains viewBox 0 0 80 80.

ORIGINAL ALTERNATIVES
01 / CUTLINE: Two faces of an excavated section form a heavy V, with a
separate grade fragment. Preserved as an alternate concept, not the selected
identity.
03 / STRATA: Two interlocking layers converge on a centerline. Preserved as
the quieter, terrain-led alternate concept.

PALETTE
Ink #252722 / Chalk #f1f0e8 / Clay #b66b42.
Use ink and chalk as defaults; clay is a small accent.

ASSET CONVENTION
veridis-wordmark-* and veridis-lockup-* now provide the same integrated logo,
with viewBox 0 0 346 80. The lockup filenames are retained for compatibility.
Unqualified SVGs use currentColor; fixed ink, chalk, and clay variants are
supplied for img elements. Standalone marks use viewBox 0 0 80 80.
Allow clearspace of at least 12 units around the wordmark and 10 units around
the standalone mark. Prefer a minimum wordmark width of 144px and a minimum
standalone mark size of 24px; inspect smaller uses individually.
The current proof sheet is brand-exploration.svg. The PNG proof matches the current selected identity.

STATUS
Original concept work for review. No trademark availability or legal
clearance is claimed. No Poseidon marks, assets, or text are included.

DUSK COLLECTION
The standalone icon is dotless. New veridis-icon-* SVGs are optically centered.
Use favicon-v2.svg to avoid the older cached favicon. The original hero sunset
informs an atmospheric extension: Petrol #123f49 and Amber #d69a64.
See showcase.html and veridis-dusk-collection.zip for 12 artwork treatments,
six avatar tiles, a wide signature, and static gradient artwork.
