Design Variants

Canonical variants

• R1 — Canonical Light Suit: default, use for any general-purpose context.
• R2 — Night Mode: approved secondary/evening variant.
• R3 — Street Rogue: texture/material reference only, not a standalone costume.

Proposed — thematic variants

A set of additional reference images exists exploring thematic costumes (a marble-statue style, a ninja-style outfit, and others). These are real generated images, but not yet accepted as canonical Design Variants — they have not been checked against the silhouette test, and at least one candidate (the statue-style image) is a real concern for that test (mask/ears/tail not clearly readable in that specific rendering). Do not treat any thematic variant as approved until it has passed that check.

Canonical — Brand-mark-consistency rule

Future thematic costumes may change decorative treatment, but they never change Sol Mamy’s identity — mandatory identification remains Sol Mamy identification, and no thematic costume may introduce SOLMEME as Sol Mamy branding. This is an identity-level rule, not a single mandated visual mechanism — the four candidate approaches below remain available as implementation choices for a specific future costume, not a blocked decision:

1. Color-only — at least one core brand color must appear somewhere in every variant.
2. Glyph rule — a small brand glyph must appear somewhere visible in every variant. (Already in de facto repeated use — see Quick Reference.)
3. Accessory rule — one specific, always-present accessory (exact item not yet chosen) in brand color, carried across every costume.
4. Silhouette-only — rely solely on the existing mask/ears/tail silhouette test, no added requirement. Real evidence suggests this alone is insufficient on its own (the statue-image concern above happened under exactly this rule) — so while not forbidden by the closed rule, it should not be relied on as the only mechanism for a given costume.

This question affects Design Variants directly and also Media Book and Game Brand Documentation’s contextual-usage guidance identically.

Rule

Do not present any thematic variant as an approved Design Variant in production material until it passes the silhouette test and preserves Sol Mamy’s identity per the closed rule above — SOLMAMY marking only, never SOLMEME.
