Parent
Caldura
Parent owns the source metaphor: heat, formation, compounding, transformation. The static ring is outer-heavy with inner air; the C-dot center was explored and rejected for lockups.
One parent mark, two entity expressions.
Static lockups shown here: no breathing ember, no radiating rings, no entrance motion. The goal is to compare the durable logo system before deciding which marks deserve dynamic treatment.
Capital / Blue Institutional
Caldura
Capital
Capital becomes patient and positional: the same circular vocabulary flattened into horizon, underwriting line, and long-duration thesis.
AI / Amber
Caldura
AI
AI can stay close to parent because AI is the system-level distinction. Difference comes through amber, active behavior, and the sharper entity suffix.
Standalone static marks under consideration
Ring / Parent
Best parent candidate: broadest metaphor.
Horizon / Capital
Institutional, calm, strongest Capital fit.
Bloom / AI
Parent-adjacent; appropriate if AI leads the thesis.
Crucible
Useful motif; less parent-like as primary logo.
Thermal
Good section motif; too generic for parent.
Solid Caldera
Compact favicon/emboss candidate.
