Founder & Systems Architect
A modern steel-seal identity for an engineer who builds, and a founder who decides. One letter, one rivet, two seals — designed to be carried from a 16-pixel favicon to a pressed-copper card.
The mark is a single letter G — built with compass geometry, but finished with soft, humanist terminals. Drawn, not stamped out by a machine.
Inside it sits a structural cross: a horizontal beam — the letter's own bar — meeting a vertical support, locked at the center by a single rivet. That rivet is the load-bearing point. It is where the name lives.
铁 — iron, steel.
靖 — steady, secure, at peace.
Iron that holds steady under load. A founder's mark that can grow, in time, into a family seal. No year is engraved — the seal is meant to outlast any single date.
Keep clear space around the mark equal to at least one rivet diameter on every side. Never crowd the seal with competing graphics or text.
Below ~64px the engraved ring text and outer rings fill in. Use the reduced favicon mark for any small or app-icon context.

Cool silver is the everyday working standard for screens and UI.
● Gold is held back further still, for the highest-ceremony physical objects — a future family seal, not a digital element.
The mark stands alone for icons and seals. When paired with the name, hold the spacing fixed: clear space equal to the rivet diameter on all sides. Name set in the display serif; identity line in mono.
Screen files use copper as a gradient. The three files below are flat, single-color vectors with no gradients or transparency — built for foil-stamp dies, laser engraving, embroidery digitizing, and one-color offset printing. Hand these directly to a manufacturer.
