# PHP Fast Forward identity and organization profile
This repository is the public home of PHP Fast Forward's visual identity,
mascot references, design assets, organization profile, and community defaults.
Framework code and tooling belong in their own
[organization repositories](https://github.com/php-fast-forward).
## Start here

Dash developer is the primary character reference; the new editorial collection
is a secondary choice. Both wear the shared purple hoodie; package emblems are
composed separately when needed. References have explicit statuses so
an old concept or divergent illustration cannot silently redefine the mascot.
Open `docs/brand/index.html` in a browser, or serve the repository with
`php -S 127.0.0.1:8765` and visit
`http://127.0.0.1:8765/docs/brand/`. The specimen loads only repository files.
The logo combines the fox symbol and “Fast” in orange
`#FF641B`. Eight native SVG exports cover full signatures and standalone marks
on light/dark surfaces and in ink/white monochrome. The lettering uses licensed
Exo 2 Italic at weight 900, converted to paths; interface typography stays on the
system-font tokens. See the [asset guide](assets/README.md#logo-masters).
## Organization surfaces
- [profile/README.md](profile/README.md) is the default English organization profile, with links to [Português (Brasil)](profile/README.pt-BR.md) and [Español](profile/README.es.md).
- [profile/assets](https://github.com/php-fast-forward/.github/tree/e1c4dd7d9c25c61f36c8a93bea85ab241853b086/profile/assets) delivers the organization-profile artwork.
- [.github/FUNDING.yml](https://github.com/php-fast-forward/.github/blob/e1c4dd7d9c25c61f36c8a93bea85ab241853b086/.github/FUNDING.yml) holds sponsorship links.
- [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md), [SUPPORT.md](SUPPORT.md),
[CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md), and
[ACCESSIBILITY.md](ACCESSIBILITY.md) provide community defaults.
- [.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE](https://github.com/php-fast-forward/.github/tree/e1c4dd7d9c25c61f36c8a93bea85ab241853b086/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE) and
[.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md](https://github.com/php-fast-forward/.github/blob/e1c4dd7d9c25c61f36c8a93bea85ab241853b086/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) support
issue and review preparation.
GitHub can inherit these defaults in organization repositories that do not
provide their own corresponding files. Repository-specific files take precedence;
templates and files are not copied into consumer clones. See
[GitHub's default community file rules](https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/creating-a-default-community-health-file).
This repository is public. Keep private materials in an appropriate private
repository or local archive. The ignored `backup/` is not a publication surface
or a dependency of the reusable kit. Artwork rights and authoring gaps remain
explicit in the catalog; no inferred license is assigned to supplied artwork.
## Validation
```sh
composer install
composer check
```
The [asset guide](assets/README.md#token-exports) describes reproducible token
exports. The brand workflow verifies delivered files and validator failure
modes. Visual likeness and complete accessibility still require review.
Dash is the Fast Forward fox. The developer collection is the primary reference;
the newly authored cute editorial collection supports community and softer
institutional moments. Both have welcome, reading, guiding, and composing poses.
The original cute source-pack exports and retired logos are retained in the
ignored local backup, with provenance in the manifest's archive metadata. See the
[production guide](docs/brand/mascot-production.md) and
[generation receipts](docs/brand/dash-generation.json) for exact references.
The versioned `dash-art` package is source for reuse, not a host installation.
Set `DASH_BRAND_ROOT` to this checkout when using it from another repository.
