# Jed Arden — Brand Kit
|
||
|
||
Canonical logo, hero image, and ready-to-upload social assets for every major
|
||
platform. Everything here is generated from two source files so the brand stays
|
||
consistent wherever it appears.
|
||
|
||
| | Source | Style |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **Logo** | `source/logo.png` | Flat cartoon avatar — red polo, used for all **profile pictures** |
|
||
| **Hero** | `source/hero.png` | Photoreal triple-monitor desk scene — red polo, used for all **banners / covers** |
|
||
|
||
> The logo (flat illustration) and the hero (photoreal render) are intentionally
|
||
> kept as separate assets rather than composited together — mixing the two styles
|
||
> in one frame reads as amateurish. Each platform therefore gets a logo-based
|
||
> profile picture **and** a hero-based banner.
|
||
|
||
## Per-platform assets
|
||
|
||
Drop these straight into each platform's upload dialog — they're already at the
|
||
exact required pixel dimensions.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|---|---|---|

|
||
|
||
### Favicons (`favicon/`)
|
||
|
||
`favicon.ico` (multi-res 16–256), `favicon-16/32/48/192/512.png`,
|
||
`apple-touch-icon-180.png`.
|
||
|
||
### Logo masters (`logo/`)
|
||
|
||
`logo-original.png` (640²) plus `logo-256/512/1024.png` and the source JPG.
|
||
Use these when a platform isn't listed above or you need a custom size.
|
||
|
||
## Palette
|
||
|
||
| Name | Hex | Use |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Polo Red | `#DC3127` | Primary brand color — accents, links, highlights |
|
||
| Ink | `#0A0A08` | Outlines, text on light surfaces |
|
||
| Canvas Cream | `#EFDECC` | Logo background, light surfaces |
|
||
| Skin Tan | `#F5B079` | Illustration only |
|
||
| Control-Room Black | `#070506` | Dark surfaces, banner backdrop |
|
||
|
||
## Regenerating
|
||
|
||
All derived assets are produced from the two sources in `source/`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python3 tools/build_assets.py # requires Pillow
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Edit `source/logo.png` or `source/hero.png` (or the size tables in the script),
|
||
re-run, and commit. `source/hero-alt.png` is an alternate desk composition kept
|
||
for reference.
|
||
|
||
## Usage & rights
|
||
|
||
These are the personal brand assets of Jed Arden. The repository is public so the
|
||
assets are easy to reference and self-host, but the logo, likeness, and hero
|
||
imagery are **not** licensed for reuse, redistribution, or derivative works.
|
