Proof Margin

A calm editorial starter mark with opposing margin forms and a central proof bar.

Proof Margin logo with two opposing gray margin forms and a vermilion center bar.

The idea

Two offset margins hold a central proof mark in a compact vertical rhythm.

Proof Margin uses sturdy page-like edges without embedding a letter or a typeface. The central accent creates a clear editorial rhythm that works for writing, publishing, identity, and visual-design portfolios.

Three supplied palettes

Geometry before color.

The complete silhouette works in one color. The accent adds hierarchy; it does not hold missing pieces together.

Color workshop

Make the palette yours.

Change the two semantic color roles, check the mark on three surfaces, then download a self-contained file. Geometry never changes.

Presets
Custom colors

Use a six-digit hex value such as #27356F. Previewing a palette does not certify visibility on every possible background.

Files included

Six dependable defaults.

Every supplied SVG is self-contained, transparent, font-free, and built from the same reviewed geometry. PNG files are 1024 × 1024 with transparent backgrounds.

Accessibility in use

A mark does not replace a clear name.

If the symbol sits beside a visible portfolio name, it can usually use empty alternative text. If it is the only content in a home link, give that link an accessible name.

Check your chosen palette on every surface where it appears. The preview helps you inspect the mark; it does not certify every possible background combination.

Default package
