The site has a new mark. It takes the navy and brass of the Maris Stella Labs banner on LinkedIn: an eight-point compass star in a gold ring on a navy disc. "Maris Stella" means "star of the sea", the star sailors steered by, so the logo is that star.
It replaces three rising bars on a teal-to-indigo square. That square belonged to no one, and it did not look like the company that publishes the site.
Where it shows up:
- The tab icon (
favicon.svg, plusfavicon.icoat 16, 32 and 48 pixels for browsers that ask for one). - The home-screen icons: the Apple touch icon and the Android icons, which now also print "Maris Stella" under the tile.
- The site header and footer on every page, including the ~1,300 tool pages. The mark is an inline SVG, so it costs no extra request.
- Link previews, the 1200×630 card a link turns into on LinkedIn, Slack or iMessage. Cards now sit on a deep navy field with a brass rule and a faint gold chart grid. The constellation stays. Each section keeps its own accent colour, so a roofing bid and a research project still preview as different cards from one site.
All of these come from one set of shapes. The star's points and the ring's radii are in a single constant, and the SVG and the pixel renderer both read it. The tab icon and a shared link's card can't end up with two different logos. Everything is drawn at build time with Node built-ins and no image library, so the same input gives the same bytes on every build.
