# ParadoxNetworks Signal Field

The production identity uses two related visual states.

- The carrier state is the permanent logo: vertical lanes converging around one route aperture.
- The route state is the incoming motion state: horizontal traces resolving into the permanent mark.
- `Paradox` uses the heavier outlined wordmark cut. `Networks` is deliberately quieter.

## Primary assets

- `logo-horizontal.svg`: default graphite horizontal lockup
- `logo-horizontal-black.svg`: black-on-light horizontal lockup
- `logo-horizontal-white.svg`: white-on-dark horizontal lockup
- `logo-horizontal-micro-black.svg` and `logo-horizontal-micro-white.svg`: optical header cuts for 24 to 32 px
- `logo-stacked-black.svg` and `logo-stacked-white.svg`: compact two-line lockups
- `symbol-black.svg` and `symbol-white.svg`: standalone production symbol
- `symbol-micro-black.svg` and `symbol-micro-white.svg`: optical cuts for 24 to 32 px
- `logo-horizontal-animated.svg`: route-state to permanent-mark animation
- `logo-horizontal-animated-micro.svg` and `logo-horizontal-animated-micro-white.svg`: animated header cuts
- `logo-horizontal-ambient-micro.svg` and `logo-horizontal-ambient-micro-white.svg`: continuously moving header lockups
- `app-icon.svg`, `app-icon-512.png`, `apple-touch-icon-180.png`, and `favicon-32.png`: square icon exports
- `social-banner-background.svg` and `social-banner-background-2400x800.png`: footer-derived social background master
- `social-banner-x-1500x500.png` and `social-banner-linkedin-1584x396.png`: ready-cropped social profile covers

## Motion

The animation plays once and rests on the permanent carrier state. It begins with the horizontal route field, changes axis, then resolves into the vertical carrier field. A reduced-motion media query skips directly to the resting mark.

## Colour

The default identity is monochrome. `logo-horizontal-signal-light.svg` and `logo-horizontal-signal-dark.svg` use Live Emerald only for a verified operational state. They are not general decorative colour variants.

## Usage

- Use the full-detail symbol at 40 px and above.
- Use the micro symbol from 24 to 32 px.
- Keep clear space equal to the width of the central carrier lane around every lockup.
- Do not rotate, outline, add effects, or recolour the primary logo.
