# Logo / icon alternatives
Concept variants explored for `assets/icon.svg`.
**Selected**: rings + diamond — see `icon-rings-diamond.svg` (now also
in `../icon.svg`). The rings carry "source ↔ target", the small gold
diamond at the intersection marks 結 (the bind point) without reading
as a literal eye the way a centered circle did.
The other variants stay here as a record of the design exploration.
| `../icon.svg` | two interlocking rings | minimal, distinct at 16×16, abstract — "two things linked" |
| `icon-infinity.svg` | two ovals as ∞ | dynamic, "endless cycle of source ↔ target" |
| `icon-knot.svg` | mizuhiki crossing cords | most literal 結 (tie / knot) |
| `icon-kanji.svg` | the 結 character itself | most direct; depends on a CJK font being installed |
| `icon-rings-dot.svg` | rings + gold accent dot | rings concept with the binding point highlighted |
Color palette (consistent across variants):
- coral `#d96459` — source side
- indigo `#225378` — target side
- gold `#c9a227` — the bind / accent (where used)
