Chosen from a 10-candidate brainstorm across five directions, following the 21Stark house language: a namesake rendered literally, orange/amber accent, dark rounded-square tile (the Mimir/Vault app-icon family rather than the Kotodama/Meridian ink-logo family). An armillary sphere — the instrument for locating anything on a celestial globe — enclosing an amber knowledge graph. The raw generation carried a baked-in white background, which would have shipped as a white box behind the icon in the Dock. It is now Big Sur spec: surround trimmed, residual halo shaved, squircle-masked at the standard ~22.4% corner radius, 824x824 artwork centred on a transparent 1024 canvas, compiled to a 10-entry .icns (16-512, @1x and @2x). Wired into packaging rather than dropped in: the .icns is copied before signing (adding a Resources file invalidates an existing signature), Electron's own electron.icns is deleted (it is otherwise what Finder shows), and CFBundleIconFile is set to the BASENAME — naming the file with its extension yields a generic icon. Gated: the icns present, electron.icns absent, and the plist key spelled as a basename. Bundle re-signed, re-notarized and stapled — spctl accepted. Candidates archived in ~/Code/Assets/Logos/21Stark/Atlas/. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>

Picked from a 10-candidate brainstorm across five directions, matching the 21Stark house language: a namesake rendered literally, an orange/amber accent, and a dark rounded-square tile — the Mimir/Vault app-icon family rather than the Kotodama/Meridian ink-logo family.
An armillary sphere — the instrument for locating anything on a celestial globe — enclosing an amber knowledge graph. Atlas holds the sky; this is the thing you read the sky with.
Not just dropped in
