Social media kit
Avatars + headers/covers + post + story templates for the five primary platforms — Twitter / X, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram. All in the locked palette, all using the existing logo system. Same brand, every surface.
Avatar
Three options. A · Signal flood with a Carbon "E" is most distinctive at small scales (where most platforms render avatars). B · Carbon block with a centered Signal block is most brand-strict. C · Paper mark shows the lockup compact — works only at larger sizes. Use A on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram (where avatars render at 32–48 px in feeds). Use B for YouTube and Facebook (where avatars are larger). Use C only for cases that allow rectangular avatars.
Twitter / X · header
1500 × 500 · 3:1 aspect. Three header variants — lockup-forward (default), tagline-led on Carbon, Signal-flood for launch moments.
LinkedIn · header
1584 × 396 · 4:1 aspect. Wider than Twitter, so the tagline gets more breathing room. Same three variants, adjusted for the proportion.
Facebook · cover
820 × 312 · ~2.6:1 aspect. Tighter than Twitter. Lockup-led works best here.
YouTube · channel art
2560 × 1440 source · safe area 1546 × 423 centered (renders identically across desktop, tablet, mobile, TV). Dashed outline below shows the safe area — anything outside it can be cropped on smaller surfaces. Keep critical content inside the safe area.
Instagram · post + story
Post: 1080 × 1080 · 1:1 aspect. Story: 1080 × 1920 · 9:16 aspect. Two post templates — thesis (Paper / type-led) and stat (Carbon / data-led) — plus one story template (tri-band: Signal top, Paper body, Carbon bottom).
Build & rollout notes
All assets above are HTML/CSS mockups at platform aspect ratios. For shipping, export each at the documented platform dimensions via screen capture or by re-rendering at fixed pixel sizes.

Brand-coherence rules per surface
One Signal accent per asset. The Signal block in the lockup counts; nothing else on the page should be Signal yellow.
Default background per platform: Paper for Twitter / LinkedIn / Facebook / IG-thesis. Carbon for IG-stat and the YouTube tagline cover. Signal flood reserved for launch moments only — not for ongoing posts.
Type: Geist Bold for wordmark and headlines. Geist Regular for taglines. Geist Mono for meta lines and stats. Never Geist Mono for body — only operational moments.
Avatar selection: use A (Signal flood with E) at every platform where avatar renders at 48 px or smaller in feeds. Use B (Carbon block) for YouTube. Use C only where rectangular avatars are allowed.
