Owner

The mark exists only as a raster, assets/brand/postulo.png (1024 px), which scripts/brand.py turns into every served icon. A vector redraw of it now exists, with a pride variant and two looping animations of each.

What to add

Beside the raster, in assets/brand/:

postulo.svg: the mark redrawn as vectors. It has seven paper sheets as Bézier paths, one gradient each sampled from the raster, and per-sheet shadow filters matched to the raster's shadows.
postulo_pride.svg: the same shapes in the six pride colours (red to purple), with softer shadows.
postulo_swell.svg, postulo_pride_swell.svg: an 8 s loop in which a slow wave bends the edges between sheets while the outline and the counter stay still.
postulo_drift.svg, postulo_pride_drift.svg: an 8 s loop in which each sheet's light turns ±22° and back.

Every loop starts and ends on the static mark. The animation is SMIL, so it plays in browsers, including as an <img>.

What does not change

assets/brand/postulo.png stays the source of the derived icons. brand.py, brand.json and everything in static/brand/ are untouched.
Nothing serves the SVGs yet. Using them anywhere (header, login, docs) is a later decision. Wherever an animated one is used, people who ask for reduced motion get the static file.

Done when

The six files are in assets/brand/, each under the repository's 500 KB limit, pure vectors (no embedded raster, no scripts, no external references).
A test holds them to that.
CONTRIBUTING's The mark names them.

The mark: serve and derive the logo from the SVG, not the PNG #1238
