A pixel that just got saved.
The mark is a lowercase b on a 5 × 7 grid, the same grid the site's labels are set on, with its top-right cell lit: the save that just went out.
One mark, three grounds.
The mark is Ink on light and paper-white on dark. The green cell never changes, and is never the only thing on the ground.
Built on the grid
Sixteen cells in Ink or paper-white and one in green. Leave one cell of clear space on every side, and don't draw it smaller than 3 px a cell (15 × 21 px), where the cells stay crisp.
- The wordmark is always lowercase: biga.
- In running text it is biga, not Biga or BIGA.
- Where only the mark fits, use the mark.
Don't
One green, used as a highlighter.
Green means “this is the bit to read”. It is never decoration. The viewer's blue means something else: now.
- Marker--brand-mark
The highlighter: a fill behind a phrase, a ticker band, the one loud cell. Text on it is always Ink.
- Signal--brand
Strokes, packets, dots and icons. Three to one against the page is enough for a shape.
Dark - Green text--brand-text
Small green type. Seven to one on white and on the dark ground.
Dark - Ink--foreground
Text and the mark on light grounds.
- Night--background
The dark page, and the mark's ground in the app icon.
- Terminal--terminal
Command lines and code, dark in both themes.
Viewer blue, #2d5bff (#4f78ff on dark), marks the live broadcast and the newest checkpoint inside the viewer, and nowhere else.
Four faces, four jobs.
A tight grotesque to be loud, a humanist sans to be read, a mono for things you type, and a pixel face for the small marginal notes.

The page is a ruled column.
Hairline rails with diamond joints, hatched spacer bands, a marker stroke across the phrase that matters, and notes in the margin.
Stream your saves, not your screen.
Take the files.
Vector, with the wordmark already outlined, so nothing depends on a font being installed.

biga broadcasts a folder as a live, read-only link.
Say what it does and what it doesn't need: no account, nothing to install. Prefer “save” and “checkpoint” to anything about streaming video, because what biga sends is files.
