Identity

Three logo directions

Each is real SVG, not a sketch — shown as the bare mark, as a lockup with the name, at favicon sizes, and on dark and sky grounds. A mark that dies at 16px is not usable, because the favicon is the most-seen instance of it.

A — Signal A

An app-tile monogram. The A’s crossbar overshoots the right stroke, so the letter reads as a transmission rather than a letter. Most conventional of the three; safest, least distinctive.

B — Cloud & pulse RECOMMENDED

A cloud with a single heartbeat cut through it. Cloud = the servers you actually run; pulse = real-time, and “systems that stay up”. It also rhymes with the cloud layers the site is built from, so the identity and the interface are the same idea.

C — Offset square

One primitive, one deviation: a square with a quadrant displaced along the diagonal. Reads as an apex, a packet in transit, and a diff. The most restrained — and the least connected to the playful direction you chose.

Why B. A logo should mean something specific to you and survive 16px. B does both: a cloud is the infrastructure you actually administer, the pulse is real-time and uptime, and at favicon size it still reads as a recognisable silhouette because it’s a filled shape rather than thin strokes. It also shares its idea with the site’s cloud layers, which is what makes an identity feel designed instead of chosen. A is a competent app icon that any developer could have. C is the most premium in isolation but belongs to the quieter art direction you didn’t pick.
