Small sizes
Two squares and a white arrow hold at 16px. The shaft is 52.5 units of a 319 box, about 2.6px there, so the arrow still reads; its slanted tail does not.
The idea
DPK.bg is an online platform for running a ДПК, a Bulgarian company with variable capital, from registration to share transfers and the shareholder register. The mark is a blue frame with a solid square stepped out of its lower left, leaving a white arrow in the frame's counter.
Two squares. The frame has walls about 53 thick around a square counter; the block is stepped 48.75 left of it and 103.77 down. Where the block covers the counter, what is left is the arrow: the counter's top and right strips for the head, and a diagonal channel cut into the block for the shaft.

Measured
Plotted in the lockup's own units, over a dimmed copy of the file's paths. The live box is the frame's counter; the two hot lines are the edges of the channel cut into the block, 52.50 apart at its head.
What the file says12 properties
Icon bounds
319 × 317.04
Square to within 0.61%.
The frame
270.25 × 269.09
A square ring around a 163.44 × 161.74 counter.
The block
213.62 × 213.27
Square to within 0.16%, set 48.75 left of the frame and 103.77 below its top.
The arrow
0 paths
Never drawn. It is the part of the counter the block leaves uncovered: the top and right strips for the head, a channel through the block for the shaft.
Stroke
≈ 53
Frame walls 53.05 to 53.76, the shaft 52.50 to 52.81 wide, the head's right arm 52.33. Only the top arm is thinner, at 50.10.
Channel
45.00° · 44.76°
The lower edge runs at 45°, the upper 0.24° shallower, so the shaft widens by 0.31 towards its tail.
Tail cut
40.46°
The shaft's end is cut 4.54° off square to its length.
Dark cut
+1 path
The dark lockup fills the counter white, so the arrow stays white on #282828. The light cut leaves it empty and lets the ground through.
The D
drawn
Its stem stops 20.46 below the top bar and ends in an 18.79° slant. P and K are Inter Bold, outlined.
D stroke
34.30
The stem's width and the top bar's height match to the hundredth.
D overshoot
+0.96 · +0.72
The drawn bowl rises past P and K's cap line and drops past their baseline.

The dark cut's symbol and .bg: under the 3:1 bar for graphics. The white letters and the white arrow carry the lockup there.
Measurements
Measured off the vector
The arrow is not drawn.
The light cut's symbol is two paths — the frame and the notched block. The dark cut adds only a white square, the counter.
Every stroke in the symbol is about 53 wide.
Walls 53.05–53.76, shaft 52.50–52.81, right arm 52.33. The top arm, at 50.10, is the exception.
The D is drawn, not typed.
The file sets P, K and .bg as Inter Bold text (.bg at 69.0% of their size); the D is a path, with its stem cut away from the top bar.
The mark is the website's identity.
The DPK case study's page designs carry it in the header and footer, and dpk.bg serves the symbol as its favicon and a white ver 2 lockup, its corners rounded, in its header (checked 1 October 2026).
Measured from the ver 3 combined frames of the client's Figma file, exported as SVG and translated to the symbol's origin; curves sampled for their extrema.
