La Stella — Vector Trial
Concept 04 from the Logo Refresh redrawn as clean vector art. Rather than auto-tracing the AI image, the mark was rebuilt parametrically — a classic compass-rose construction (eight kite points on a shared inner octagon, elongated verticals, engraved fan-hatching on the clockwise facet of each point) computed by script and emitted as SVG. Every angle is exact, every line crisp at any size, and the whole mark weighs about 6 KB.
Original vs vector
Two intentional refinements over the source: the eight points are now perfectly symmetric (the AI original drifts a few degrees), and the hatching fans are regular — four lines per facet, always on the clockwise half, the way engraved compass roses shade.
Colorways
The SVG strokes use currentColor, so one file serves every colorway via CSS.
Size ramp
Below 48px the hatching closes up, so a companion stella-small.svg drops the engraving and solid-fills the clockwise facets — the same silhouette, legible down to favicon size. The ramp shows the detail mark at 128/96/64 and the small mark at 48/32/24/16.

Files & next steps
assets/logos-v2/vector/stella.svg— detail mark (outline + midribs + hatching), currentColor.assets/logos-v2/vector/stella-small.svg— small-size/solid variant for ≤48px and app icons.- Generator script kept in the session scratchpad — tip radii, base octagon, hatch density are all parameters, so proportion tweaks are one-line changes.
- If this direction wins: export PNG/ICO favicon set, an app-icon crop on the arch-tile, and repeat the parametric process for the runner-up marks.
