Crownd
crowd + crowned. The crowd watches, the bid decides, one product wears the crown.
Logo
The podium-crown: three leaderboard bars in podium order (2-1-3) whose tops form a crown. Only the centre jewel is gold — the mark itself tells you that only #1 gets the gold.
- Clear space = height of the centre jewel on every side.
- Minimum size: 16 px (mark), 96 px (wordmark).
- Never recolour the jewel to anything but gold (or ink on gold).
