# SamiOS Branding
|
||
|
||
Official visual identity assets for **SamiOS** — the Arch-based custom Linux distribution.
|
||
|
||
## Brand Mark
|
||
|
||
The SamiOS mark is a stylized blue pyramid (hex `#1424CE`, cobalt blue with slight violet tint)
|
||
combined with a Simpsons-style cartoon face. The pyramid represents the foundational geometric
|
||
base of the OS; the face is the personal signature of the project's creator.
|
||
|
||

## Assets
|
||
|
||
### Icons (`icons/`)
|
||
|
||
Square pyramid-only icons, used for window decoration, file-type associations, and anywhere
|
||
the face is too detailed at small sizes.
|
||
|
||
| File | Size | Use |
|
||
| --------------------------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `samios-icon-256.png` | 256×256 | Small UI icons, favicons |
|
||
| `samios-icon-512.png` | 512×512 | Standard app icon size |
|
||
| `samios-icon-1024.png` | 1024×1024 | High-DPI / source master |
|
||
| `samios-icon-launcher-256.png` | 256×256 | Mobile / desktop launcher (rounded square) |
|
||
| `samios-icon-launcher-512.png` | 512×512 | Standard launcher size |
|
||
| `samios-icon-launcher-1024.png` | 1024×1024 | High-DPI launcher source |
|
||
| `samios-icon.svg` | vector | Scalable source — renders at any size, no quality loss |
|
||
|
||
**Launcher icons** use a 22.3% corner-radius ratio (matches Apple iOS/macOS Big Sur+ aesthetic).
|
||
|
||
### Logos (`logos/`)
|
||
|
||
Full lockups with the cartoon face. Use these on websites, documentation, and splash screens.
|
||
|
||
| File | Size | Description |
|
||
| ----------------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `samios-logo.png` | 500×500 | Face on pyramid, no text |
|
||
| `samios-logo-text.png` | 500×500 | Face on pyramid, with "SamiOS" wordmark |
|
||
|
||
## Color Palette
|
||
|
||
| Role | Hex | Usage |
|
||
| ------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------- |
|
||
| **Primary Blue** | `#1424CE` | Pyramid fill (shadow face) |
|
||
| **Primary Lit** | `#3B4ED8` | Pyramid lit face (light side) |
|
||
| **Face Yellow** | `#FFD90F` | Cartoon skin tone |
|
||
| **Hair / Outlines** | `#3A3A3A` | Cartoon outlines |
|
||
|
||
## Typography
|
||
|
||
The "SamiOS" wordmark uses the **samiahmed7777** font family. This font is part of the creator's
|
||
personal brand and is intentionally **not** bundled with the OS — only the rendered wordmark
|
||
image is distributed as a logo asset. (See project font policy.)
|
||
|
||
## Usage Guidelines
|
||
|
||
- **Do** keep the cobalt blue (`#1424CE`) consistent across all derivatives.
|
||
- **Do** preserve the lit/shadow face split on the pyramid — it gives the mark dimensionality.
|
||
- **Don't** add drop shadows, gradients, or filters on top of the mark.
|
||
- **Don't** stretch the pyramid non-uniformly; always preserve its aspect ratio.
|
||
- **Don't** use the face-only or pyramid-only marks as separate brand identities — they are
|
||
companion assets, not standalone logos.
|
||
|
||
## Source / Provenance
|
||
|
||
- Pyramid geometry: AI-generated from text prompt, then refined to `#1424CE` color spec.
|
||
- Face illustration: creator's hand-authored Simpsons-style portrait.
|
||
- SVG (`samios-icon.svg`): hand-traced from the rasterized pyramid using detected peak
|
||
coordinates (peak at `x=518, y=244`; base from `x=144` to `x=874`; base center at `y=668`,
|
||
in a 1024×1024 reference canvas).
