# Brand marks

The lab logos on the team figures. Downloaded, not redrawn — these are the
companies' own marks, used nominatively to identify whose model is playing in a
like-for-like comparison, which is what every model leaderboard does. The marks
remain the trademarks of their owners; the licences below cover each
collection's rendering of them, not the underlying trademark rights.

[Simple Icons](https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons) publishes each
brand's mark as a single 24×24 path and records the brand's official colour
alongside it. OpenAI's and xAI's icons are **not** in that collection — OpenAI's
was removed and xAI's was never carried — so those two come from elsewhere:
Wikimedia records the OpenAI mark as public domain, below the threshold of
originality and credited to OpenAI itself, and lobe-icons carries xAI's under
MIT.

## Still hand-drawn

**Thinking Machines** publishes plain black type and nothing any icon
collection carries. Its mark in `components/model-marks/thinkingmachines.tsx`
is our own design — a heavy ring open at the upper right with a dot in the
gap — and the header of that file says so. It is not their asset; if an exact
mark matters, ask them for one.

Moonshot AI ships under the **Kimi** mark, so `kimi.svg` is the file for that
lab; Simple Icons also carries a `moonshotai` sphere, which closes up into a
grey ball at the 14px the crest uses, so the K is the one on the field.

**Z AI** is in no icon collection, and publishes no brand colour that any
dataset records. Its mark in `components/model-marks/zai.tsx` is a drawn
letterform rather than the company's own asset, and that team's disc uses the
accent this site already assigns it rather than an invented "official" one. If
an exact mark matters, ask Z AI for their brand assets.

## Colour

`components/model-marks/kits-registry.tsx` documents where each team's disc
colour comes from. Every disc/ink pair is measured against WCAG rather than
eyeballed, and a test in `tests/rendered-html.test.mjs` recomputes them.
