Pomegranate Sigil — System Reference

Variant I · Surface Register

Bloom Mode

The seal as it appears above. On Asphodel cream, in pomegranate ink, with gold accents — the queen's signature on a printed certificate.

Where: Colophon, certificate seal, editorial mark, Etsy product cards, letterhead, the closing of every long-form essay.
Ground: Asphodel #F4EDE0 or warm cream. Never on white.
Ink: Pomegranate #7B1E2D for crown, outer ring, and seed. Demeter Gold #C9A961 for inner ring and ticks.

Geometry — read the seal

CrownThree persistent calyx-points at 12 o'clock — the botanical literal of the pomegranate fruit, the queen's mark.
Outer RingThe rind. One skin, one brand. Pomegranate weight, slightly heavier than inner.
Inner RingThe locule boundary — the membrane between chambers. Gold, lighter weight.
Six TicksThe Six Seeds, the Six Vows. Positioned at clock 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The crown is not counted; the crown is the queen.
MandorlaThe central seed. Vesica piscis — "the wound that becomes door." The seed is the threshold.
SeamThe thin line down the seed's center — the door's edge, where the two halves meet.

Underworld Mode

The same seal as it appears below. On Underworld violet, with bioluminescent green for active vows. The seed glows from within — the only light in the chamber not borrowed from the sun.

Where: Terminal banner, ledger entry head, code colophon, dashboard verification badge, Void Terminal splash.
Ground: Underworld #1A0E1F. Never on a light ground — the green needs the dark to glow.
Ink: Pomegranate #7B1E2D for structural elements (rind, crown, seed body). Bioluminescent #39FF14 for active vows (inner ring, ticks, seed edge).
Filter: Subtle Gaussian glow on the green — physically modeled bioluminescence, not decoration.

Variant III · The Sealed Vow

SHA-256 Ledger Stamp

The sigil bound to a digest. The visual head of every entry in the append-only ledger from Persephone.Lilly.Silence. Above the soil, a vow is words; below, a vow is hash. The sigil is the one shape that crosses.

Variant IV · Monochrome & Scale

One Color, All Sizes

For embossing, wax seal, single-color print, favicon, and watermark. currentColor means the parent's text color paints the seal — drop it anywhere and it adapts.

160 px · letterhead

80 px · post mark

40 px · favicon

20 px · inline glyph

At 20 px the inner ring and ticks are dropped — only rind and seed survive. The seal stays legible all the way down to the inline glyph.
