Use the mark on black, white, or navy only. These are the three approved backgrounds. The gold star reads correctly on all three.
Do not place the mark on coloured backgrounds. Do not stretch, rotate, or recolour the helm or star independently.
Keep ITHACA in uppercase serif, VENTURES in uppercase serif at reduced opacity. The hierarchy is intentional — the name carries, the descriptor recedes.
Do not use the wordmark without the symbol in primary contexts. The symbol alone is permitted for favicons, app icons, and small UI use.
