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.
