The mark and the lockup
The mark is the 2025 drawing of two loops, one through the other, thick where the pen pressed and fine where it lifted. The lockup is the Intertwine family’s, set exactly as Primer and Intertwine Associates set theirs. One ink at a time; on the web it is Night.
The mark
The 2025 drawing, traced and never redrawn: 1.83 times the size of the name.
The hairline
One pixel, in the lockup’s ink at 16% (22% on dark grounds), the same gap on either side.
Intertwine
Satoshi Bold, tracking −2%. The only bold on any page.
BIO ©
Satoshi Medium capitals at 0.4 times the name, tracking +18%, the © a shade lighter.
Clear space
Leave the width of the mark clear on every side of the lockup, and twice that from the edge of a page or a screen.
Smallest size
The lockup at 120px wide on screen and 30mm in print. Smaller than that, use the mark alone, down to 16px.
Never
Recolor its parts separately, stretch it, re-space or outline the letters, set it in blue in the header, add a shadow or a glow, or set it over a busy photograph without a solid panel.
Motion
The logo animation, and how everything else moves
Where a page signs off, the logo plays its own animation, the 2025 film, and the name settles beside it. Everything else moves by a few rules, each piece once, as it is reached; nothing loops but the opening photographs, and everything is still for people who ask for less motion.
The logo animation
The 2025 film, as made
Two strokes appear, turn like rings and open into the two loops. It is the original film from the site’s storage, never redrawn. Where a page signs off it plays once and rests on the mark, and the name settles beside it.
The reveal
expo.inOut, 1.25s
Photographs open upward from their bottom edge and settle from 118% over 1.8s. Headlines rise line by line from behind their own mask; text rises 24px and fades in.
The drift
linear, with the scroll
Large photographs move up to 5% slower than the page, so the page has depth without anything moving on its own. The home page’s opening photographs crossfade every 2.6 seconds.
Color
Lavender, Deep and Night
Lavender is the signature: the logo’s own ground, and with pale Sky the blocks behind photographs that give a page its depth. Deep is the mark’s blue; it closes every page and holds the footer. Night is the ink. Most of every page is white, and color comes in solid blocks, never gradients.

The signature color: the ground for the logo, and the blocks behind photographs that give a page its depth.
#0E3B5E · RGB 14, 59, 94
The mark’s own blue: the close of every page, the footer and the signature in it. A ground, never a text color on the site.
#0D1821 · RGB 13, 24, 33
The ink: headlines, text, buttons and the lockup in the header.

Photography
Real work, in clear light
Laboratories and the people in them, at work: hands and instruments, two people over a result, a corridor between rooms. Every photograph is graded the same way, cool and clear, so the library reads as one set.
Photographs over color
A photograph laid over a block of Lavender or pale Sky that runs out to the edge of the page. Every inner page opens with one, and rows of them carry the services and the approach. It is how a light page gets its depth.
The block starts a third of the way under the photograph and drops below it, and it always reaches the page edge.
Lavender or pale Sky, alternating down a page. Never Sand, never a gradient.
A 3px Deep rule underlines the frame.
Rows alternate sides; the words sit beside the block, never on it.
In motion the block grows in from the page edge, the photograph opens over it, then the rule draws across.

Data
Charts from the bench
Bio’s charts borrow the lab’s own forms (plate maps, colonies, pressure lines, linked rings, gel lanes, dose curves, pipelines) and color them like a slide, in six stains led by the logo’s own pair. Every value on this page is a placeholder.
The stains
Prussian is the mark’s Deep at chart strength and Cresyl is Lavender at full strength, so every chart opens on the logo’s own pair. The first four can share any chart and stay distinct for every reader, including those with color blindness. Picric and Methylene join only where each color sits beside the next. Always in this order.

One for each service
Each service page tells what it includes beside a graphic of its own, drawn in these forms and moving to each part as it is read. Here each steps through its parts on its own.
Under the microscope
On Night the same stains glow, as a sample does under fluorescence: each one lifted to read on the dark ground, and the ramp running dark to light.
Amounts
Cresyl, one hue, light to dark. All nine steps for wells and cells, which carry an outline; bars, lines and dots start at the fourth.
Change
Carmine below, Prussian above, a lavender grey for no change.
Rules
Marks are thin and square-ended; only wells, colonies and rings are round.
Hairline axes and grids; values in the text ink, at the ends of their marks.
A legend for two series or more, and a table or a value for every mark on request.
Each color follows its series, never its rank; a seventh series folds into “Other”.
Charts grow once as they are reached, their marks 55 to 110ms apart.
Status
Kept for status, never a series, and always with its word.
