Brand system v1.0

Trudell Industries brand

A reactor ring, a blade-cut T, one ember of orange. Industrial enough for a machine shop, clean enough for a term sheet.

The mark

Ring: three arc segments, like a reactor housing or a rotor. The open gaps say “unfinished, still being built”. One segment is orange: the live one.

T: chamfered crossbar and a stem that tapers to a blade. Reads as a T, a thruster plume, and a plumb line.

Core: a single orange point where the crossbar meets the stem. The arc core. Never add a second accent.

Ticks: 24 index marks at 15°. Drop them below 48 px (the favicon does).

Rules

  • Clear space around the mark = the ring’s stroke width × 4.
  • Minimum size: mark 24 px, horizontal lockup 140 px wide.
  • On photography, use the on-dark version over a 60% black scrim.
  • Never recolor the ring. Orange is only the top-right segment and the core.
  • Never set the wordmark in another typeface. It ships as outlined paths so it renders identically everywhere.
  • Venture logos sit to the right of a thin vertical rule, never inside the ring.

Go / Caution / Abort are reserved for state. Never use them decoratively; a pilot’s HUD and this website must mean the same thing by red.
