The living archive · identity exploration
137 marks.
One method.
Every pixel kept.
While IconFlow looked for its own logo it drew 137 original directions across 7 rounds — machines, companions, hidden-brand anatomy, an orchard, a canopy, a cat. Each one was rendered by the same engine, compared at native size, and either passed review or was kept as an honest study. Nothing here is a stock asset; nothing here claims trademark clearance.

The ones that passed review, and the current mark
Each of these passed the complete draft-local target gate: clean check, static review, exact color tray and alpha template, a receipt bound to the SVG hash, and ship with every rubric axis at 4/5 or better (legibility / distinctiveness / balance / color / scalability / craft).
