Assets
Logo, colors, and type.
Mark
The project’s generated logo mark. The grid gets finer with the commit count, and the cells show the split between languages. It’s redrawn as the project grows.
Palette
The colors Better Steam Autoupdate uses across this site: one hue from its discipline’s band, plus the shades that make it work on both dark and light backgrounds.
Type
The two typefaces on the site: a sans-serif for the interface and a serif for headlines.
