Golden Atomic Brand References

The pillar of the brand OS. A rulebook tells a model what to do; golden references show it what good looks like. These are the canonical exemplar assets that are the APT visual universe, fed back into an image model as in-context references to generate net-new on-brand assets.

Two modes: vector data graphics (output scorecards, performance rails, before/after tables, waveforms) and photographic athlete-alone / industrial scenes (generated, B&W). Each is stored next to its prompt or SVG source. We will have MANY — this is the seed set.

Vector graphics​

01 · Output scorecard​

A before/after output scorecard showing 2-5x increase in output per employee

Before/after output per employee. The "after" column carries Exit Yellow. Numbers in IBM Plex Mono.

02 · Before/after productivity table​

A before/after productivity comparison table: untrained vs APT-trained

UNTRAINED → APT-TRAINED. Hours saved, output multiplier, revenue per employee. Yellow marks the wins.

03 · Performance metric rail​

A five-stage performance rail: untrained, aware, practicing, performing, elite

UNTRAINED → AWARE → PRACTICING → PERFORMING → ELITE. The APT progression rail.

04 · Athlete alone​

A lone founder in a dark empty training facility at night, single yellow light source

The canonical athlete-alone hero. B&W, empty training facility, one Exit-Yellow anchor.

05 · Control room​

A lone operator at a dark control room dashboard, performance metrics visible

The organization as a performance system: a lone operator before a wall of metrics. Defense-grade calm.

Data graphics (vector)​

06 · Team dashboard​

A dark team performance dashboard showing output metrics across the leadership team

Team-level output dashboard. Individual-contributor metrics on a single surface.

07 · Lightning Bolt watermark​

A faint geometric Lightning Bolt watermark tile on a near-black ground

The engineered geometric Lightning Bolt as a faint watermark or background tile.

15 · Waveform chart​

An individual-contributor output waveform showing performance increase over time

Individual-contributor output over time. The performance curve. Exit Yellow marks the inflection point.

How to use a GABR​

Pass the reference image(s) to your image model alongside the master prompt, then describe the new asset. The references lock the universe (dark ground, the one accent, the finish); your prompt varies the subject. Always pass the Lightning Bolt reference (gabr-07) when it appears in the asset. To add a new reference: scope it against the set, generate for coherence by passing the nearest GABRs in, validate with a human, store the prompt + refs + alt text, register it in brand.json, and regenerate brand.txt.
