The pattern
The pattern is Staxxer's primary graphical asset. It is generated, never drawn. Every appearance comes from the same tool, the same rules, and the same underlying logic — a field of dots, scaled and arranged into a wave.
This consistency is the point. A bespoke illustration would dilute the system. A generated pattern reinforces it every time it appears.
Dots
The dot is round. Always. It has no outline, no gradient, no texture. It sits flat on the surface and carries a single colour from the brand palette. Dots vary only in size. Size is what gives the pattern its life — it is the signal that something is happening, growing, or settling. A field of identical dots is a grid. A field of scaled dots is a wave.
Wave
The wave is what organises the dots. It is a soft, continuous signal moving across the field — never a hard line, never a literal shape. Where the wave's intensity is high, dots are large. Where it is low, dots are small. The transition between them is always smooth.
Colors
The pattern uses one colour from the palette, on one background from the palette. Never multi-colour. Never gradient. The dot does the work; the colour stays out of its way.

Motion
When the pattern moves, the wave drifts — dots scale up and down in place as the wave passes through them. The pattern never slides, never rotates, never flashes. Motion should feel like breath, not animation.
Loops are seamless and run between 6 and 12 seconds.
