azdocs marks
The azdocs identity is a rounded triangular A containing three connected topology nodes. Its single blue silhouette and white internal diagram remain clear at application-icon and favicon sizes. The result is an original azdocs mark rather than a reproduction of the Microsoft Azure logo: the outer shape suggests Azure estate work while the three-way graph carries the diagram idea.
The marks also appear on the design sheet beside the palette and type scale, which is generated from this manifest — so a renamed asset fails the build rather than rendering a broken image.
Asset index
All SVGs use exact paths and shapes only. The rounded triangle and symmetric three-way graph are constructed geometry rather than an automatic raster trace. The lockup wordmark is outlined from IBM Plex Sans Bold, so it has no runtime font dependency.
| Asset | Intended use |
|---|---|
azdocs-mark-primary.svg | Default standalone mark on paper or other light surfaces |
azdocs-mark-reversed.svg | Colour mark on dark surfaces |
azdocs-mark-mono-ink.svg | One-colour print, embossing, engraving and restricted palettes |
azdocs-mark-mono-paper.svg | One-colour reversed mark on dark surfaces |
azdocs-app-icon-light.svg | Application icon for light launch surfaces |
azdocs-app-icon-dark.svg | Application icon for dark launch surfaces |
azdocs-lockup-primary.svg | Default horizontal logo lockup |
azdocs-lockup-reversed.svg | Horizontal lockup on dark surfaces |
azdocs-background-light.svg | Light document, slide or site background motif |
azdocs-background-dark.svg | Dark document, slide or site background motif |
Matching high-resolution PNGs live in png/: marks and app icons are
2048×2048, lockups are 2560×1024, and backgrounds are 3840×2160. SVG remains
the source format; the PNGs are deterministic raster exports of those vectors.
App icons
The application icon places the intact topology A inside a rounded-square tile: warm paper for the light version, charcoal for the dark version. Its original superellipse outline and transparent outer margin give the native launcher icon a consistent footprint. The A is scaled to 72% and lifted slightly to balance its wider base. Standalone marks and favicons retain the triangular silhouette.
Background motif
Concept record
The reviewed raster boards are retained as design history, not production artwork:
azdocs-options.png— the four-direction exploration.azdocs-selected-hybrid.png— the earlier hybrid: Concept B’s topology with Concept A’s thick folded letter.
Use the SVGs for all final output. See the usage guide for sizing,
colour and placement rules, and prompts for the generation record
and regeneration constraints. manifest.json provides the
same asset inventory and palette in a machine-readable form.
The desktop masthead, browser favicons and Tauri packaging derive from these production SVGs.
The vector generator requires Python 3 and fonttools (python3 -m pip install fonttools in your development environment). From the repository root, rebuild
the SVG sources and regenerate their production PNG companions:
python3 docs/marks/tools/build_vector_assets.py

cargo test --test marks_assets_testFor a faster quarter-scale visual check, omit AZDOCS_MARK_PREVIEW_SCALE and
write to a temporary directory.
