On light and dark, large and small
Small sizes
Below about 32px the ramp reads as one flat cyan. The two-part silhouette holds.
The idea
A trading platform by Spartum Tech. Two pieces — a tall gradient form and a small solid one above right — beside an all-caps wordmark.
The gradient is defined across 64.18 units and the artwork occupies the middle. The first stop lands 15.42 in, and the right edge reaches offset 0.960.

The vertical rules are the gradient's own stops, converted into the icon's units.
What the file says12 properties
Icon bounds
91.36 × 91.66
Square to within a third of a percent, across two detached pieces rather than one shape.
The two pieces
7.19 apart
A tall gradient form at x 0–53.82, and a small solid one at x 61.01–91.36 that never touches it.
Gradient span
64.18 units
Defined from x −7.81 to x 56.37 — it starts off-canvas and ends past the shape it fills.
First stop
offset 0.3619
At x 15.42, so the leftmost 28.7% is a flat hold of #75FBFD before the ramp begins.
Last stop
never rendered
The shape's right edge sits at offset 0.960. The darkest colour the ramp actually paints is #0AB1CB.
The detached piece
#05ADC9
Filled flat in the ramp's endpoint colour — the last stop, lifted off the gradient and given its own shape.
Wordmark case
all caps
Every glyph spans y 28.30 to the baseline. No ascender, no descender — it is set in capitals.
Colour split
at x 300
TRADE takes #EDEDED, APP takes #BABABA. The compound name is coloured as two words with no space between them.
Glyph reuse
exact
Both A's measure 39.78 wide and both P's 36.48 — to the hundredth. One typeface applied, not letters redrawn.
Cap height
30.32
Rounds overshoot the baseline by 0.11, a twelfth of what Vectora's o carries.
Icon → wordmark
12.74 · 13.9%
Tight. Vectora holds 23.3%, BrainTrade 25.0%; only inviertas and Cazam sit closer.
Variant rule
one lockup
Nothing in this file adapts between grounds, because there is only one ground it was drawn for.
Contrastfour ratios
WCAG relative luminance on the fills in the file. The 4.5:1 bar is applied only where it applies — a graphic element is not text. Cards that say “on dark” are measured on near-black, #08070a.
11.22:1
Accent on dark
The ramp's second stop, and the colour the case study already runs on. Second only to Finansero's mint on dark.
16.24:1
Lightest stop on dark
The flat hold that opens the mark.
17.16:1
TRADE grey on dark
On white the same grey is 1.17:1 — which is why there is no light lockup.
10.35:1
APP grey on dark
The quieter half of the split. Still clears AA, so the hierarchy costs nothing in legibility.
Measurements
Measured off the vector
The gradient never renders its final stop.
The filled path ends at x 53.82; the ramp reaches #05ADC9 at x 56.37.
The detached piece is painted in that unreached stop.
Its fill is the literal string #05ADC9 in the file.
The wordmark is all caps with exact glyph reuse.
Both A's measure 39.78 and both P's 36.48; no glyph breaks the 28.30 cap line.
