❌ Add effects (shadows, glows, outlines) to logo files
❌ Place logo on busy backgrounds
❌ Rotate the logo
❌ Use low-resolution versions

}

CSS Classes for Logo Styling

  transform: scale(1);
  transition: transform 300ms ease;
}

  filter: drop-shadow(0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15));

Questions?

For brand asset requests or questions:

  • Check this file first
  • All current logo files in /public/
  • Reference DESIGN-SYSTEM.md for color/typography specs

What's inside

4 logo files, 6 color groups, 1 font stack, 6 usage rules, 3 CSS classes, 2 code examples, and export specs

Change this for your project

  • Replace Raydar with your own brand name throughout
  • Replace /public/raydar-horizontal.png with your own logo file paths
  • Replace #FF6B5A with your own primary brand color
  • Replace app/page.tsx and app/layout.tsx with your own component paths

Where it goes

Keep in docs/ or alongside the feature. Agents read it to implement against a defined contract.

Worth borrowing

  • Separating logo variants by use case (horizontal, icon-only, vertical) with explicit DO/DON'T rules
  • Providing CSS utility classes for logo hover and glow effects that can be reused across components
  • Including both web and print export specifications to prevent resolution issues
