-# Identity Visual References
-
-Status: Active
-Owner: Yaacov
-Last updated: 2026-07-12
-Purpose: Preserves LitRev symbol source material and identity alternatives with explicit adoption status.
-Doc type: Research evidence
-
-## Document Rules
-
-This folder preserves internal identity evidence and editable source material.
-It does not define a complete LitRev brand system or turn unselected variants
-into accepted design direction. Current implementation claims must name the
-exact owned source and commit that uses an asset.
-
-## References
-
-| ID | Asset | Status and context |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `identity-001` | [Geometric overlap symbol PNG](images/litrev-geometric-overlap-symbol.png) | Used as the LitRev desktop icon in the owned Synara fork through merge `baa7b3d8d604a72467f2a1f575af7c7d85daf94d`; preserved here as the parent-repo visual reference. |
-| `identity-002` | [Geometric overlap symbol SVG source](images/litrev-geometric-overlap-symbol-source.svg) | Editable black-and-white source for the adopted scaffold icon. This source record does not establish a broader identity system. |
-| `identity-003` | [Figma frame 4 clean variant](images/litrev-figma-frame-4-clean.svg) | Unselected internal exploration; research evidence only. |
-| `identity-004` | [Figma frame 4 purple-brown variant](images/litrev-figma-frame-4-purple-brown.svg) | Unselected internal exploration; research evidence only. |

-The PNG digest is
-`15ddc93ef07ab6e1358058230ad197972c24d1aa4a78edd40020d903b787a16d`,
-matching the LitRev production icon in the owned Synara source at the recorded
-merge.
