§ 05 · Exploration Notes
Future directions — not redesigns
Flagged for future exploration. The current mark is canonical.
Direction 01
Broadcast Abstraction
Refine the 8-stroke mark for more optical precision. Currently functional — the cardinal and diagonal strokes could benefit from finer tuning at 16–20px where subpixel rendering reduces clarity.
Exploration only — current mark is canonical
Direction 02
Letterform Mark
Explore an "R" or "RC" monogram as an alternative symbol for contexts where the broadcast symbol reads ambiguous — particularly in UI avatars, app icons, or print where the relay metaphor isn't established.
Exploration only — current mark is canonical
Direction 03
Dynamic Relay
Develop an animated or kinetic variant for digital-first contexts. The pulsing strokes are already prototyped — this direction formalizes the animation spec: timing, easing, loop behavior, and reduced-motion fallback.
