XTF / Visual identity
XTF gives young researchers a serious public platform. The identity must therefore feel institutional enough to earn trust and urgent enough to invite action.

One master mark, then approved horizontal and vertical arrangements.
Open-source type and reproducible production rules keep the system accessible.
Every crop, baseline, space and line break is intentional.
The supplied xtf.logo.2026.svg is the sole drawing master. The name inside the mark is outlined artwork—not live type—and must never be retyped. Every monogram below uses the exact X, T and F paths from that master; no substitute lettering is permitted.
This asset library follows the useful structure of EFF’s public Logos and Graphics page: one current package, clearly separated logo versions, production-ready color variants and short rules beside the files they govern.
SVG masters, approved lockups, horizontal and vertical monograms, the named vertical signature, campaign stamp, color tokens and open-font licenses.
Download the current vector. Preserve its aspect ratio, path geometry and internal spacing.
Use only Signal Red #EB1414, black, white, or the approved black/red master.
Keep at least one name-field line-height clear on every side. Never place type inside that field.
Do not retype, stretch, outline, rotate, shadow, crop, recolor or redraw any part of the signature.
Signal Red follows EFF’s published brand red exactly. It is a decision color: use it for the mark, the primary action or one dominant campaign field—not as general decoration.

The typography now follows EFF’s public style system rather than the previous IBM Plex fallback. All three families are open source and self-hosted in this site. No font purchase is required.
ASK THE HARDER QUESTION.
Evidence is a public good.
Research earns trust when its methods, limits and next questions are made visible.
The Pentagram/EFF work feels powerful because it is measured, not because it is crowded. Use hard edges, strong scale contrast, disciplined negative space and one visual event per surface.
One dominant statement occupies 60–75% of the active field.
Explanatory copy stays compact and aligns to a visible edge or rule.
This field follows the supplied EFF reference at the level of composition: one quiet gray presentation surface, a measured six-piece matrix, two square formats beside one double-width landscape format, and the same construction repeated in red and black. League Gothic is locked to Regular, 0 tracking and 0.78 line-height.
Stationery keeps the source photograph's exact paper geometry and natural shadows while live type follows each object. The apparel image uses the approved vector geometry as a screen-print master, then integrates only ink texture, garment curvature and existing light.
The same identity system changes tone without changing geometry. Formal notices lead with reference and decision; invitations lead with occasion; greeting cards leave room for a personal message. Every format stays inside one hard frame.

Environmental applications use the vertical signature only when its full name can remain legible. Large XTF letterforms create orientation; event detail stays in a separate information rail.

The website borrows EFF’s useful behaviors—not its content: issue-led navigation, decisive scale, featured/current work, compact lists, strong dividers and a permanent route to act.
THE FINDING LEADS.
Evidence before claimNo standalone official EFF brand-book PDF was found in the public archive. The canonical public guide is EFF’s maintained GitHub style guide, supported by its logo page and current 2026 asset ZIP. These are the sources used for this revision.
