A new mark for BenchmarkWatcher

A mark for reference data

Our earlier header used a small letter and an upward arrow. The arrow suggested a price direction, while the product is about checking historical observations and their sources. In the browser tab we had also been shrinking a wide social image into a favicon. Neither held up well at the sizes where people see the identity most often.

The new mark uses a steady vertical stem and three circular points. Its outer shape reads as a B; the repeated points make it feel like a series of observations without drawing a chart or suggesting a future price move. The open space keeps the form legible when it is small.

One shape, fitted to each place

The symbol appears in the site header and on a deep claret field in browser icons. The favicon is made for small sizes. The mobile app source now includes matching assets for the home screen, Android adaptive icon and splash screen, ready for its next build. A wide social card has its own layout instead of doubling as an app icon.

The mark came from a ChatGPT image exploration. We kept the selected geometry and prepared the sizes and color treatments needed for each surface. The original image is preserved with the project so future changes can be derived from the same source.

What it stands for

BenchmarkWatcher remains a place to read historical benchmark prices and public company filings, compare reported periods, and inspect the source behind a number. The icon identifies that reference work; it makes no claim about what prices will do next.
