DESTINATION TSHWANE / RESPONSIVE IDENTITY PROOF
One idea, at every size.
All three expressions retain the exact outer Y and full lower stem. The Signature Y changes only the centre: two tower forms and one arc, referencing the Union Buildings. Micro uses the essential master unchanged.

Sizes are SVG artboard width at 100% browser zoom. *Millimetres are 96 ppi screen equivalents, not print-size recommendations. The visible Y occupies 87.6% of the artboard width.
Use what survives reproduction.
- 16 px: fallback only. Fine separation and colour distinctions become fragile; do not claim full detail.
- Master/Micro: use at 24 px width or larger in ordinary UI. Prefer 32 px where space allows.
- Signature: use at 128 px artboard width or larger. Below this, use the Master Y.
- Signature print starting point: 35 mm artboard width on clean coated stock; Master/Micro 7 mm. Proof the actual substrate before manufacture.
- Clearspace: at least one stem width, 76 units of the 500-unit mark artboard, beyond visible artwork.
- Lockups: the payoff is the limiting element. Suggested starting widths: vertical 240 px / 65 mm; horizontal 480 px / 130 mm. Use mark only if the payoff cannot remain legible.
Black / 128 px
Reversed / 128 px
Greyscale / 128 px
Black and reversed artwork use one fill only. Greyscale is a separate tonal family. White artwork has true transparency and must be placed on a sufficiently dark field. Architecture is a simplified design interpretation, not an architectural survey.
