Covarity guidelines
Logo system and usage
Approved marks, lockups, clear space, and reduction rules.
Usage
The aperture C is one ring broken once. The long arc is durable knowledge, the short orange terminal is agent context, and the radial slot between them is the adjudication boundary where a reference waits for a verdict. The opening at the right keeps the ring readable as a C at favicon size, and the reduced mark closes the split so the silhouette survives 16 px.
A brand mark is the symbol alone; wide and stacked lockups are distinct approved combinations. Choose artwork for the intended viewing surface and size. Read the asset language for detail, ink, and background terms.
Minimum sizes
Use these rendered-size limits when choosing a logo form. The Assets page offers exact files and size variants.
- mark
- 24 px
- horizontal
- 160 px
- stacked
- 144 px
- wordmark
- 120 px
Use the reduced mark below 32 px.
Prohibitions
- Do not close the aperture or the slot. The opening and the break are the whole idea.
- Do not recolour the long arc to orange or the terminal segment to purple.
- Do not add a node, dot, or glyph inside the aperture.
- Do not set the C in a typeface. The mark is drawn geometry and the wordmark is outlined Space Grotesk.
- Do not alter the 420-unit outer radius, the 168-unit ring, the 84-degree aperture, or the 10-degree slot.
- Do not use the full mark below 24 px. The reduced mark takes over at and below 32 px.
