SOCIAL

Every platform draws its own container — LinkedIn a rounded square, X a circle — so these ship with none of their own: the mark on transparent, squared up and padded for whatever crop it lands in. Use the mono version wherever the surface is white.

BADGES & CHIPS
v2.28.0 New open-source Breaking CVE-2026-1234 in stock improved DFIR estimated

Teal is new, latest and open source. Amber is breaking, deprecated, pre-release and paid. Red is adverse: a CVE, a removal, a price rise. Green is available. Blue is a category. A chip with no colour says what something is; a coloured one says what state it is in. Capitals come from the style, never from the text.
