🚀 Quick Launch Path (When Needed)

# 1. Pick final logo
cp assets/logo.svg engine/platform/linux/export/logo.svg
cp assets/logo.svg engine/platform/android/export/logo.svg

# 2. Generate PNG icons
convert assets/logo.svg -resize 512x512 assets/icon-512.png

# 3. Take screenshots (30 min)
# Open Studio, capture 5-8 key screens

# 4. Set up Twitter (20 min)
# Create @AeThexEngine, upload assets

# 5. Deploy landing page
# Use Vercel + Next.js template

💡 Current Status

Branding system is READY - Can generate/customize logos anytime from logo-config.toml

Blocking items for public launch:

Screenshots of actual working Studio
Demo video showing features
Social media accounts set up
Landing page deployed

Not blocking:

Logo design is flexible (can iterate)
Marketing materials can improve over time
Brand identity can evolve

📝 Notes

All logo editing happens in logo-config.toml (edit in VS Code)
Run python3 tools/generate_from_config.py to regenerate
Color palette is standardized in brand-colors.md
Generated logos are in assets/ folder
Documentation explains every aspect

Priority: Medium (not blocking development, blocking public launch)
Effort: 4-6 hours to complete all TODO items
Status: Foundation complete, execution pending
