Part 01 — identity
Eight modules.
One byte.
The BYT mark is built from exactly eight square modules on a three-by-four grid. A full-height stem in column one, four modules closing a bowl across rows two to four, and one void cell at its centre — the counter — which is what makes it read as a letter rather than a cluster. Eight bits, one byte, one company. Because the construction is modular, the mark lands on whole pixels at any size — from a 24px favicon to a three-metre wall.
- GRID
- 3 × 4 = 12 cells
- MODULES
- 8 filled / 4 void
- GUTTER
- 0.045 × mark width
- STEM
- column 1, rows 1–4
- BOWL
- 4 modules, rows 2–4
- COUNTER
- void — row 3, col 2
Clearspace — one module on every side. Nothing enters it: no type, no rules, no image edge.
Minimum size — 24px for the mark alone, 96px wide for the horizontal lockup. Below that, use the mark only.
MODULE = MARK WIDTH ÷ 4
Signage and dimensional use. Each module extrudes to one third of its own width. Nothing else changes — same grid, same counter, same proportions.
Machined brass or painted steel on an ink wall, lit from one side so the counter reads as shadow rather than a hole punched through the sign.
DEPTH = MODULE ÷ 3
