Brand Consistency in Media
Every piece of media content, regardless of format, stays traceable to Brand Book (color/voice/logo policy) and Mascot Book (character facts). Nothing in this book introduces a new brand fact — it only applies existing ones to a media context.
Canonical + Not yet determined — shared with Mascot Book
Section titled “Canonical + Not yet determined — shared with Mascot Book”Two separate things are true in Mascot Book — Design Variants, and this book inherits both exactly as split:
- Canonical: the brand-mark-consistency rule itself is settled — a thematic costume may change decorative treatment but never Sol Mamy’s identity; mandatory identification remains Sol Mamy identification, and no thematic costume may introduce SOLMEME as Sol Mamy branding. Treat this identity-level rule as closed, not open.
- Not yet determined: which of four candidate implementation mechanisms (color-only / glyph rule / accessory rule / silhouette-only) is adopted for a given future costume remains an open choice, not a blocked decision — Mascot Book itself notes the glyph rule is already in de facto repeated use, and that silhouette-only alone has already proven insufficient once (a real concern surfaced on the statue-style candidate image).
When a video or social post shows Sol Mamy in a thematic costume, the Canonical identity rule above always applies; which mechanism is used to reinforce it is still open. This book does not resolve either independently — it inherits whatever Mascot Book’s chapter states, and should be re-checked there if that chapter’s status changes again.
- Before publishing any media asset showing a thematic/non-canonical costume, check it against Mascot Book — Design Variants’ current status (not yet approved for any thematic variant).
Do not use
Section titled “Do not use”- Do not approve a media asset as “on-brand” based on a locally-invented consistency rule not documented in Mascot Book.
