Marks to replace the inherited glyph
Original candidates drawn from our own vectors — none derived from Monad. Each shown the way it'll actually run: lockup, size ramp, favicon and app icon, on light and dark, across states, and animated as the in-app loader. My pick order is top to bottom; the “Why” line on each makes the case.
Reference · inherited mark
Monad's logomark, a rounded-rhombus lens — the glyph the app inherited and still ships in the nav today. The five marks below are originals meant to replace it entirely.
Pair
A two-tone rounded tile with a butterfly carved from the negative space — each wing-pair a party, the seam between them the agreement.
WhyThe literal Pact story (two parties, one pact) and a ready-made app icon; the two tones give it warmth.

Seal
A confident squircle with a single leaf cut — a mark pressed into the deal, sealed.
WhyThe boldest and most legible at any size — one colour, one cut, impossible to break on a button or favicon.

Bloom
A six-petal bloom with an asterisk cut, set in a tile — open, communal, growing.
WhyThe friendliest, most app-icon-ready of the set; the spinning bloom makes a soft loader.

Aperture
An eight-blade shutter ring — precision, focus, things clicking into place.

Huddle
Three figures leaning into a shared circle — people, literally coming together on a deal.
WhyThe warmest and most human; says 'parties' without abstraction. Spins gently as a loader.

Bond
Three chunky tiles interlocking around a center, each pierced — parties locked and bound into one deal.
WhyHeavier and more distinctive than the thin marks; the cut holes give it craft. Strong solid app tile.

Trio
Three rounded droplets meeting at a single point — three parties, one agreement.
