$TUBES BRAND SYSTEM v1
======================

CORE DECISION
-------------
$TUBES has no traditional cartoon mascot. The network is the character.

OFFICIAL EMBLEM: THE T JUNCTION
-------------------------------
The T Junction is the only official $TUBES mark: one frontal chrome three-way
pipe fitting with electric-blue rims and a neon-green packet core.

Always:
- Keep the silhouette upright, symmetrical and readable as a capital T.
- Use chrome/silver for the body, electric blue for structure, neon green for flow.
- Give the emblem generous clear space.
- Use the transparent master when placing it on artwork.
- Use the square token/PFP file for social avatars, listings and profile images.

Never:
- Add eyes, a mouth, limbs, clothes or an animal body.
- Rotate, squash, redraw or recolor the fitting.
- Put words inside the emblem.
- Treat a supporting universe element as a second mascot.

THE TUBE UNIVERSE
-----------------
1. THE T JUNCTION — Hero signal and official mark.
2. PACKETS — Neon-green data blocks; the lifeblood in constant motion.
3. BIG CYBERTRUCK — Angular Tesla-shaped red truck, always crossed out; the antagonist.
4. THE CLOG — Red/orange overload state caused by maximum packet density.
5. THE MAINFRAME — Electric-blue XP grid; the environment everything inhabits.

WORLD RULE 001: EVERYTHING IS INFRASTRUCTURE. NOTHING NEEDS EYES.

VOICE
-----
Use terse technical warnings, 2006 internet language, network-status phrasing,
and overconfident infrastructure metaphors. The tone is dead-serious machinery
describing something completely ridiculous.

Approved phrases:
- THE NETWORK IS THE CHARACTER.
- OFFICIAL SIGNAL LOCKED.
- PACKETS IN TRANSIT.
- NO TRUCKS DETECTED.
- CLOG THE TUBES.
- EVERYTHING IS INFRASTRUCTURE.
