Vectorized the raster logo (LOGO_ONCRIX.png) into clean, simplified
low-poly SVGs. The source art is a low-poly snow leopard + wordmark; the
trace was deliberately simplified (the image is flattened to remove
gradient noise before tracing) so each facet is one flat polygon — about
200 paths and ~42 KB per file instead of a noisy 3000-path trace.
- LOGO_ONCRIX.svg — navy art on white, for light backgrounds
- LOGO_ONCRIX-transparent.svg — navy art on transparent (letter counters
cleanly knocked out, no white-disc artifacts)
- LOGO_ONCRIX-dark.svg — light/frosted recolor on transparent, for
dark backgrounds (e.g. the website theme)
Produced with vtracer (color, polygon mode) + svgo. The PNG source is
kept alongside for future re-exports.
Re-traced with an edge-preserving smooth (instead of a plain median) so the dark facet outlines stay crisp while within-facet gradient noise is still flattened. ~660 paths / ~90 KB per file; outlines intact, letter counters cleanly knocked out, dark variant recolored via HSL lightness.

Swapped the source raster for the de-noised, brighter version and re-traced. Because the source is cleaner the trace is both simpler and sharper: ~350 paths / ~34 KB per file, contour outlines crisp, facets flat, letter counters cleanly knocked out. LOGO_ONCRIX.png updated to the new source so the vectors and the raster match.
Rebuilt the vector logo using a dedicated line-art (outline) extraction of the leopard as a separate, crisp layer over flat colour fills. The outline is traced from clean line art (so the contours have no trace-noise / jaggies), then composited on top of a simplified colour trace of LOGO_ONCRIX.png — the two register exactly. Result: clean facet edges defined by sharp outlines with flat colour shading underneath. - LOGO_ONCRIX.svg — colour + navy outline, white background - LOGO_ONCRIX-transparent.svg — same, transparent (counters knocked out) - LOGO_ONCRIX-dark.svg — lightened colour + light outline, for dark bg - LOGO_ONCRIX-outline.png — the line-art source used for the contours

The outline-overlay version produced thick, doubled, muddy edges when viewed closely. Reverted to a single clean colour trace: edge-preserving smooth (keeps facet contours, drops within-facet noise) + colour quantize, then vtracer polygon with strong speckle filtering and longer segments so the facets are clean flat polygons (~120-170 paths, ~18-22 KB). No outline layer. Transparent + dark variants regenerated; the dark one is an HSL lightness remap.

Re-traced with the professional colour-separation + potrace method
instead of vtracer: the raster is quantized to a small flat palette, each
colour is potrace-traced as its own smooth-Bezier region, then the layers
are stacked. This gives clean flat facets with crisp smooth edges and no
sliver/anti-alias noise (the earlier vtracer output fragmented edges into
~130 shades). Despeckled (turdsize) to drop the busy spot fragments.
Moved the assets into assets/logo/ with clear names:
- oncrix-logo.svg — transparent (primary)
- oncrix-logo-light.svg — white background
- oncrix-logo-dark.svg — lightened palette for dark backgrounds
- oncrix-logo-source.png — the source raster
Removed the old root-level LOGO_ONCRIX*.{svg,png}.

…ration Re-vectorize from a noise-reduced low-poly source. Quantize to a flat palette, then trace each colour mask with potrace (alphamax 0 for crisp facet edges). A single darkest-navy silhouette is traced from the union of all non-background pixels and drawn underneath the facets, so inter-facet gaps read as a thin navy wireframe instead of white seams and the outer edge stays a clean single contour (no dilation beading). Dark variant lifts lightness in HSL for legibility on dark backgrounds; light variant adds a white rounded card. ~248 KiB per SVG.
Address the cracked/beaded look of the previous trace. The non-background silhouette is now traced with smooth curves and drawn as a dark-navy base (the low-poly outline, matching the source); facets are dilated to remove inter-facet gaps and clipped in raster space to an eroded silhouette so a thin smooth navy rim remains and nothing spills past the outer edge. Result: smooth outer contour, crisp internal facets, no dark seams, no edge beading. ~415 KiB per SVG (precision-0 coords).
Median-smooth each facet mask and raise potrace opttolerance so facet edges trace as straight lines instead of pixel-stepped wobble; keep the smooth curved navy silhouette as the outline. Cleaner low-poly read, ~231 KiB/SVG. Also remove the stale root LOGO_ONCRIX.png (canonical source now lives in assets/logo/).

Adds the ONCRIX brand logo as clean vector SVGs under
assets/logo/.Traced with the professional colour-separation + potrace method (not vtracer): the raster is quantized to a small flat palette, each colour is potrace-traced as its own smooth-Bézier region, and the layers are stacked. Result: clean flat facets with crisp smooth edges and no sliver / anti-alias noise (the earlier vtracer trace fragmented edges into ~130 near-identical shades). Despeckled to drop busy spot fragments.
