A hexagonal rack aperture woven from six cable runs. Three runs carry signal colour and ride over the frame; three are structural steel and pass beneath. The interlace closes without a seam — every run is over once and under once.
The default signature. Use wherever horizontal space allows — application headers, documentation mastheads, presentation title bars.
Both files inherit currentColor,
so a single asset recolours from CSS. In monochrome the weave is expressed as a break in the
under-run rather than a dark casing.
Below roughly 40 px the full mark's casing gaps close up, so a
simplified cut with heavier runs and a solid core takes over. That switch is already baked into
rackwire-favicon.svg.
Tier lockups append a descriptor beneath the wordmark, left-aligned to the R in the horizontal signature and centred in the stacked one. The descriptor is set at 30% of the wordmark cap height, tracked wide, in Frame Steel so it labels the product without competing with it. The mark itself never changes between tiers.
| Property | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Descriptor cap | 30 u | 30% of the 100 u wordmark cap height. |
| Descriptor stroke | 17 u | Optically weighted, not scaled from the wordmark stroke. |
| Tracking | 46 u | Wide enough to read as a label at small sizes. |
| Baseline drop | 143 u | Top of descriptor, measured from the wordmark cap line. |
| Colour | #8FA3BA | Frame Steel. In monochrome it inherits currentColor with the rest. |
Set the base product as RackWire with no descriptor — never “RackWire Base” or “RackWire Free”. Do not invent further tiers by swapping the descriptor text; new tiers need their own drawn outlines, since the descriptor is vector, not live type.

Steel is reserved for structure and must never carry signal meaning.
| Property | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Grid | 60° | Every run lies on a hexagonal axis; no arbitrary angles exist in the mark. |
| Circumradius | 156 u | Measured in the 512 u artboard the mark is authored in. |
| Run body / casing | 30 / 36 u | A 3 u dark gap on each side reads as an overlap, not a break. |
| Overhang | 44 u | Must exceed half the casing cut, or the under-run loses its tip. |
| Core node | 58 u | The patch point; carries all four signal hues as one gradient. |
| Clear space | 1 core | Keep the width of the core node clear on all sides of any lockup. |
| Minimum size | 24 px / 7 mm | Mark alone. Lockups: 120 px / 32 mm wide. |
