Brand / Mark Relationship

Canonical

Sol Mamy’s silhouette is the sole visual brand mark for SOLMAMY — see Brand Book — Logo & Mark for the general policy. This chapter states the character-specific facts behind that policy.

Sol Mamy and SOLMEME are two different entities, not one mark in two presentations. SOLMEME’s actual relationship to Sol Mamy (husband, signal-relay operator, solme.me) is universe/canon material and lives in Story & Universe Book, not here. This chapter does not define a costume, silhouette, or visual-identity system for SOLMEME — none currently exists.

• Sol Mamy’s mark (name text + silhouette + Status Crest — see below) is the only mascot-character identity system this book defines.
• SOLMEME is not a “second site presentation” of that same mark. No shared invariants, no shared costume library, no shared reference-photo set are implied between them.
• If a future, separate need arises for SOLMEME to have his own visual/logo treatment (e.g. if solme.me itself comes under this project’s management), that is explicitly a future, separate decision — not a current production task, and not an extension of Sol Mamy’s identity system.

Resolved, 2026-08-30

The two existing live favicon assets are both raccoon-face icons — the same mascot species, not unrelated. Full classification (current/CANONICAL vs. legacy/off-canon-color) is in Brand Book — Logo & Mark; not restated here.

Status Crest classification — RESOLVED, 2026-09-03

The Status Crest is part of “the mark.” Sol Mamy’s mark is therefore: name text + silhouette + Status Crest — the small three-chevron mark carried at eight fixed costume locations (helmet forehead, chest, shoulder patch, belt buckle, connector’s metal clip, both boots, and the rear helmet above its own wordmark instance — see Visual Identity — The Status Crest), always paired with the wordmark. Practical consequence: a reduced/simplified rendering of the mark (favicon, minimum-size 16px application, etc.) that omits the Status Crest is an incomplete rendering of the mark, not a valid simplification — the existing favicon assets predate this rule and aren’t retroactively invalidated, a separate future question.

Not yet determined

• Whether Sol Mamy’s mark also serves as a general logo/wordmark substitute in every context, or whether some narrower rule applies — see Brand Book — Logo & Mark.

Rule

Never design or propose a visual identity, costume, or marker for SOLMEME without a new, explicit owner decision authorizing it — he is not a variant of Sol Mamy’s existing mark.
