Brand Assets
Use official Tidecoin artwork when presenting the project in exchanges, explorers, wallets, articles, and community materials. Do not redraw the logo from memory or use a low-resolution screenshot when a source asset is available.
This page is the docs-side brand reference for currently available assets. It does not grant partnership, listing, sponsorship, or endorsement rights.
The current Tidecoin mark is a geometric T symbol in a 256 by 256 viewbox.
Use the SVG source when possible, keep the proportions unchanged, and choose the
variant that preserves contrast on the target background.
Available Source Assets
Current docs assets:
| Asset | Path | Use |
|---|---|
| Primary mark | /img/brand/logo-mark.svg | Default standalone mark, Tidecoin cyan fill. |
| Light-background mark | /img/brand/logo-mark-light.svg | Black mark for light backgrounds. |
| Dark-background mark | /img/brand/logo-mark-dark.svg | Cyan mark for dark backgrounds. |
| Docs app icon | app/icon.svg | Square docs/favicon-style icon. |
Historical source assets also exist in the node and resources trees:
| Asset | Path |
|---|---|
| Node Doxygen logo | ../tidecoin/doc/tidecoin_logo_doxygen.png |
| Resources Doxygen logo copy | ../resources/doc/tidecoin_logo_doxygen.png |
Before publishing a third-party integration, check whether the website, repository, or release package has a newer official logo pack.
Colors
The current SVG mark uses these source colors:
| Token | Hex | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Tidecoin cyan | #01E9CC | Primary mark color. |
| Black | #000000 | Light-background monochrome mark and app icon background. |
| White | #FFFFFF | App icon mark color and dark-background fallback. |
Do not infer a full UI palette from the logo color. Product interfaces, exchange pages, and explorer themes should use their own accessible color systems while preserving the mark itself.
Usage Rules
- Preserve the logo proportions.
- Do not stretch, skew, rotate, or recolor the mark casually.
- Use enough contrast for the background.
- Do not place the logo inside a busy image where it becomes unreadable.
- Do not imply endorsement, partnership, exchange listing, or wallet support unless that relationship exists.
- Keep enough clear space around the mark so it does not collide with text or other logos.
Clear Space And Minimum Size
When no stricter brand kit is available, keep clear space around the mark equal
to at least one quarter of the mark width. In small UI contexts, use the mark
only when it remains recognizable; otherwise use the text name Tidecoin or
ticker TDC beside the mark.
Avoid placing the mark at sizes where the inner shape collapses or anti-aliasing makes the symbol look like another letter.
Variants And Backgrounds
| Background | Preferred asset |
|---|---|
| Dark solid background | /img/brand/logo-mark.svg or /img/brand/logo-mark-dark.svg |
| Light solid background | /img/brand/logo-mark-light.svg |
| Busy image or gradient | Add a plain container or use a clearer background. |
| Tiny favicon-style surface | app/icon.svg or a derived square icon from the official SVG. |
Do not use the black mark on dark backgrounds or the cyan mark on backgrounds where contrast is poor.
Legal And Attribution Boundary
This page documents available artwork and practical usage rules. It does not define a full trademark policy. If a use case could imply official approval, commercial partnership, exchange listing, wallet endorsement, or custody relationship, get explicit project approval before publishing.
For neutral references, use wording such as:
Tidecoin (TDC)Avoid wording such as “official partner”, “approved wallet”, or “listed by Tidecoin” unless that relationship is real and documented.
For Exchanges and Explorers
Use the project facts from LLM-Readable Project Facts and the technical facts from Chain Parameters. Do not derive tickers, network prefixes, or address formats from logo files or marketing images.
