The exporter drew the unit box and the F polyline as two separate translucent strokes (box α 0.4, polyline α 0.55). Where the polyline crosses the box the two composited over each other, so the crossing accumulated alpha and read as a denser square. Draw the box and the F as a single stroked path in one mint alpha (0.55). A lone stroke() unions its own coverage, so overlaps stay that flat color instead of stacking — verified on the transparent PNG: max alpha is 140 (= 0.55·255) everywhere, no pixel exceeds it. Favicons get the same single-tone treatment at α 0.85. Re-exported all four assets.

The logo used a fixed 5.2px stroke (0.68% of the 766px image) while the favicons scaled at 3.5% — so the mark read much finer as the full logo than as a tab/home-screen icon. Replace both with a single stroke-to-image ratio, anchored on the 180px apple-touch icon at 4px (STROKE_RATIO = 4/180), floored at 2px so the 64px favicon doesn't drop sub-pixel. Everything scales from that anchor: ≈17px on the 766 logo, all at 2.22% relative weight (the 64px favicon floors at 2px / 3.1%, the one unavoidable exception). Re-exported all four assets.

Nudge the mark's seed off the exact 3:41 Numberphile value (0.362 + 0.953i) to 0.375 + 0.975i for a cleaner F. Re-exported all four assets. The /f page keeps the original seed for now — its copy (the "3:41 moment", the ƒ-lock ring/label) is tied to that value.
The full logo was drawn at α 0.55, much dimmer than the favicons (0.85) — on the dark background it read as faint, almost transparent. Raise the anchor stroke to 5px on the 180px apple-touch icon (STROKE_RATIO = 5/180, ≈21px on the 766 logo, others proportional) and apply one ink alpha (0.85) to every export, so the full logo matches the apple-touch brightness instead of looking washed out. Re-exported the affected assets (the 64px favicon is unchanged — already 0.85 and floored to 2px).
Match the tuned logo seed on the live page: F_RE/F_IM, the locked-readout label, and the copy. The narrative keeps an honest pointer to the original 3:41 Numberphile value (≈0.362 + 0.953i) that the seed is nudged off.
Seed 0.375 + 0.975i → 0.363 + 0.968i across the exporter, the /f page (constants, readout, copy), and LOGO.md. Drop the stroke anchor from 5px to 4.2px on the 180px apple-touch icon (STROKE_RATIO = 4.2/180, ≈18px on the 766 logo, others proportional). Re-exported all assets.
Nudge the imaginary part 0.968 → 0.965 across the exporter, the /f page (constants, readout, copy), and LOGO.md. Raise the stroke anchor to 4.5px on the 180px apple-touch icon (STROKE_RATIO = 4.5/180, ≈19px on the 766 logo, others proportional). Re-exported all assets.

Three changes to the exported logo/favicon mark: overlapping lines no longer darken, every export renders at one consistent stroke weight, and the seed is tuned to
0.363 + 0.965i.Problem & Insight
scripts/export-logo.mjshad two independent inconsistencies:stroke()independently, so where the polyline crossed the box the layers stacked (~0.73 alpha) and read as a denser square.Take
Single mint tone, single path. Box + F are now one path stroked once in one alpha (0.55). A lone
stroke()unions its own coverage, so overlaps stay that flat color rather than compositing into a darker patch — holds for both the dark-bg and transparent variants.One stroke-to-image ratio everywhere, anchored on the 180px apple-touch icon at 4.5px (
STROKE_RATIO = 4.5/180, ≈19px on the 766 logo), floored at 2px. Logo and icon read at 2.5% relative weight. The 64px favicon floors at 2px (3.1%) — the one unavoidable exception, since the proportional stroke there is sub-2px.One ink alpha (0.85) for every export. The full logo was previously α 0.55 — much dimmer than the favicons, so on the dark background it read as faint/near-transparent. Everything now uses the favicon/apple-touch brightness (mint
176,222,240at 0.85 over#0a0a0a).Seed tuned to
0.363 + 0.965i. A nudge off the exact 3:41 Numberphile value (0.362 + 0.953i) for a cleaner F.The rendering still diverges from the live
/fpage on purpose (the page keeps its two-tone layering and thinner proportional strokes); documented inLOGO.md. The seed is now synced — the/fpage uses0.363 + 0.965itoo, with its copy/readout updated and an honest pointer to the original 3:41 value it's nudged off.Verification
