Primary Lockup: Full wordmark + icon for hero placements (store pages, trailers).
Compact Icon: Standalone doorway/maze for favicons, avatars, and app icons.
Wordmark Only: Clean horizontal wordmark for UI and print.
Monochrome & Reversed: High-contrast versions for single-color printing and dark backgrounds.
Animated Asset: Short 2–3s glitch-to-reveal loop for start screens and promos.
Scalability: The old logo looked blurry on Steam Deck and 4K monitors. The new vector-based "UPD" scales perfectly.
