The lone "▍ The Disclosure Bureau" glyph read as a stray vertical bar next
to small mono text — easy to lose against the navbar links. The brand
needed visible weight without inventing a logotype from scratch.
- BrandMark (new) — small inline SVG-free mark: three rounded gold bars
at decreasing heights (100% / 70% / 45%), suggesting a redaction edge
or a stack of classified-page tabs. Each bar lifts 1px on hover, so the
mark gets a subtle physical response without animation libraries.
- Wordmark switched to font-display font-semibold (was display regular)
and bumped to 19/20px so it carries the row.
- On desktop a tiny "CLASSIFIED · PUBLIC RECORD" microline in #5a6678
monospace sits beneath the wordmark; it disappears on mobile to keep
the row tight inside the drawer.
- Used in SiteHeader (every page) and inside the MobileNav drawer
header — replaces the previous bare-text label there too.
Verified at desktop 1440 and mobile 600 widths.
