E // Byline Lockup — Use Examples

Everything to Everything — two configurations.

The byline Everything to Everything appears in two configurations: horizontal (mark left, wordmark + byline right) and centered stacked (mark top, wordmark center, byline beneath). Both words always capitalized. Byline set in Inter 300 or 400 — never Audiowide. Omit at small scale (below 48px lockup height) and in all nav contexts.

Usage Notes & Constraints

Apply these rules to all logo use.

Approved

Monochrome only

The mark is always a single flat fill or stroke — never multi-color, gradient, or partially filled. The shape carries all the meaning.

Minimum size

20px rendered height

Below 20px, the orbital details and inner circles lose legibility. At 20–32px, use the mark alone without wordmark.

Clear space

0.5× mark width on all sides

No other elements, text, or borders should enter the clear space zone. Scale with the mark proportionally.

Wordmark

Audiowide only

The wordmark "Carbotura" is always set in Audiowide Regular. Never set in Inter, JetBrains Mono, or any other typeface.

Never do

Rotate or skew the mark

The mark is rotationally meaningful — its orbital positions are intentional. Rotation breaks the visual logic of the shape.

Never do

Stretch or distort

Scale proportionally from the SVG viewBox. Non-uniform scaling distorts the orbital relationships in the mark.

Never do

Add drop shadows or effects

The master SVG includes a legacy drop-shadow filter — strip it for all production use. The mark is flat.

Never do

Low-contrast placement

Never place a white mark on a white background, dark mark on dark background, or any combination below 3:1 contrast ratio.

Color selection

Use approved palette only

Mark fill must be drawn from the Carbotura master palette or pure black/white. Off-brand colors (lime on dark, mustard mark, etc.) are not approved.
