Turn 2 — 1g in royal blue and white, five variations
The cursor mark, blue colorway
Royal blue #1F3FD1 against white and a near-black blue-cast ink. The five differ in which element carries the blue and how the caret is drawn — same mark, five weights of assertiveness. Each tile has its 28px and 16px proof beneath.

2A
Direct swap. 1g exactly, on white with ink letters and a blue caret. The safest translation — nothing changes but the palette.

2B
Inverted weight. Blue carries the name, ink carries the caret. Warmer and more brand-forward; the caret reads as punctuation rather than accent.

2C
Solid field. All-white mark on a full blue tile. The avatar case — highest contrast in a feed and unmistakable at 16px.

2D
Underscored. Adds a blue baseline rule under the whole mark — a prompt line. Gives the mark a foot so it sits well in a header.

2E
Dark mode. Blue-cast ink ground, white letters, caret lifted to #3D63FF so it holds against the dark. The night counterpart to 2a.

Ten identity marks
All ten are built from type and geometry only — no illustration — so they survive at 16px favicon size and in a single ink colour. Each tile shows the mark at display size; below it, the same mark at 28px and 16px, which is where most of these get judged. Palette is drawn from the portfolio directions: ink, paper, oxblood, amber, navy. Call marks by badge in chat.

1A
Ligature. Garamond initials kerned to touch. Reads as a publisher's imprint — closest match to direction 1a.

1B
Ledger rule. Stacked initials divided by an accounting rule — the total line. Quietly financial without a chart in sight.

1C
Seal. Double-ruled roundel, the language of certification and audit. Strongest as a footer stamp on published research.

1D
Bracket. A ticker in square brackets — engineer-legible, terminal-native. Pairs with direction 1b. Weakest at 16px.
1E
Column set. Five bars on a baseline, one struck in ink. Abstract enough to avoid the stock-chart cliché; survives to 16px best of the ten.

Split field. The diagonal is the seam — data on one side, systems on the other. Literal read of your positioning line.

1G
Cursor. Lowercase initials plus a block caret — the builder half of the story, stated plainly. Can blink on hover.
1H
Matrix H. A nine-cell grid with the H struck through it — pipeline and monogram at once. Fully geometric, scales to any size.

1I
Filing frame. A ruled document field with an index tab. Institutional and neutral — pairs with direction 1c.

1J
Dog-ear. Solid ink tile, turned page corner, amber footer rule. The most avatar-ready of the set — high contrast in a feed.
