The mark
A figure in profile pressing both palms forward, written in Markdown punctuation. It is the site's idea in one image: a handful of plain marks composing into something expressive.
The animation is the full mark. The still version is for small sizes — below roughly 80 pixels the characters stop being readable, so use the still figure there.
Animation
tai-chi-mark.gif — green on white, 600×300
tai-chi-mark-black.gif — black on white, 600×300
The live version is sharper and lighter than either GIF: see it running.
Still mark
Green on dark
same files as Green
PNGs have transparent backgrounds. The SVGs scale to any size and are the better choice wherever they are accepted.
