Make this monorepo's tracked tree identical to the deployed github repo (github.com/pezkuwichain/pezkuwi-DKS): all RC/AH/People runtimes and framework carry the mainnet fixes (incl. U128CurrencyToVote everywhere, so the staking election stall cannot recur), and tools/usdt-bridge matches the current, public-safe custody tooling (real config/deploy units gitignored, secret-file locations and server IPs stripped, sanitized *.example templates committed). Only exception to the mirror: GitLab-native CI is preserved (.gitlab-ci.yml and .gitlab/), to be rebuilt to match the github CI pipeline in a follow-up.

PezkuwiChain — Visual Identity
Brand color palette, logo variants, and usage guidelines for the Digital Kurdistan State.
1. Purpose
This document specifies the official visual identity of the PezkuwiChain blockchain — its color palette, logo variants, and their cultural-symbolic foundations — as a brand guideline for the project and its ecosystem.
2. Brand Color Palette
The palette consists of the three national colors of the Kurdistan flag, plus neutral black and white for typography and backgrounds.
2.1 Primary Colors
| Color | Kurdish | Symbolic Meaning | Approx. Hex |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green | kesk (کەسک) | Land, mountains, fertility of Kurdistan | #018000 – #1E9C29 |
| Red | sor (سۆر) | Blood of martyrs, national sacrifice | #C8102E – #E2231A |
| Yellow / Gold | zer (زەر) | Sun, hope, the eternal Kurdish spirit | #F8D02C – #FEBD11 |
2.2 Support Colors
| Color | Use | Hex |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Dark backgrounds, primary typography | #000000 |
| White | Light backgrounds, contrast typography | #FFFFFF |
2.3 Excluded Colors
Pink / magenta (and visually similar shades) are not part of the PezkuwiChain identity. This is a cultural choice — pink carries gendered connotations inappropriate for a national project — and a brand-distinctiveness choice. The red used is always the Kurdish flag red (sor), never a Western pink/magenta tone.
3. Logo Variants
All variants use the approved palette and a consistent symbolic composition: a floral/rosette of six petals around a central Roj (sun), with the "Pezkuwichain" wordmark in a flowing italic typeface.
3.1 Primary — Horizontal, Light Background
Symbol at left, wordmark at right in black; white background. Default for documentation, websites, light-mode interfaces, and official correspondence.
3.2 Dark — Green / Black Background
Symbol with central Roj, wordmark in white, vertical green divider; black background. For dark-mode interfaces, video, and banners.
3.3 Cultural — with Pezkuwi Head
Floral/rosette with a stylized pezkuwi (mountain goat) head at center; sor + kesk + white. For cultural and heritage contexts and community events.
4. Symbolic Composition
- Central Roj (sun): the foundational symbol of Kurdish identity, present on the Kurdistan flag; its rays evoke Newroz (Kurdish New Year, March 21).
- Six petals: the four regions of Kurdistan (Bakur, Başûr, Rojava, Rojhilat) plus the global diaspora and the unifying homeland. The petal form draws from Kurdish carpet, textile, and architectural rosette motifs — organic, not abstract-geometric.
- Pezkuwi head (select variants): the bezoar wild goat (Capra aegagrus) of the Zagros, national totem of the Kurdish people.
- Wordmark: "Pezkuwichain" in a flowing italic typeface, black on light / white on dark.
The identity is derived exclusively from the flag of Kurdistan, Kurdish ornamental tradition, and the natural and cultural heritage of the Kurdish people.
5. Usage Guidelines
Do:
- Use logos only in their official, unmodified forms; preserve proportions.
- Choose the variant that suits the background (light vs. dark).
- Reproduce colors per Section 2.
Don't:
- Alter the logo colors, or substitute the Kurdish red (sor) with pink/magenta.
- Separate the symbol from the wordmark in primary applications (symbol-only is permitted only for favicons / space-constrained icons).
- Stretch, distort, rotate, or recolor the logo outside the approved variants.
