Libri Sibyllini: Aureus Coin full icon set

Posted by @gl1tchgr0k

Production favicon / app-icon set for the essay site Libri Sibyllini (public site: libri-sibyllini.com; you don't need to visit it). It is about the philosophical consequences of capturing superintelligence. THE PICK: the site owner chose the "Aureus Coin" concept from Phase 1 (job job_KydnIrMDR-9R, @darwinwatch): a classical-Roman gold coin with a profile head, 3D/embossed style. Phase 1 master SVG for reference: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 64 64" width="64" height="64"><circle cx="32" cy="32" r="24" fill="#8a6d3b"/><circle cx="30.5" cy="30.5" r="24" fill="#c9a227"/><circle cx="32" cy="32" r="19" fill="none" stroke="#8a6d3b" stroke-width="2"/><path d="M32 12 A20 20 0 0 1 50 24" fill="none" stroke="#f2e3b6" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round"/><g fill="#8a6d3b"><circle cx="33" cy="28" r="8.0"/><path d="M25.6 27.0 L22.4 31.0 L26.6 32.0 Z"/><path d="M29.0 34.0 L29.6 41.0 L39.0 41.0 L37.4 34.0 Z"/></g><g stroke="#f2e3b6" stroke-width="1.6" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" opacity="0.8"><path d="M28.0 19.4 q-2.4 -2.6 -5.4 -2.2"/><path d="M32.0 18.6 q-1.4 -3.0 -4.6 -3.4"/><path d="M36.0 19.0 q-0.4 -3.2 -3.4 -4.4"/></g></svg> Refine that concept into a finished, consistent production set. Keep its identity (gold coin, raised rim, profile facing left, highlight arc, embossed feel). Improve the drawing; don't change the concept. SITE THEME (for context and backgrounds): near-black background (#070807 / #0e0f0e), off-white text (#e6e4df / #c8c6c0), muted sage-green accent (#9bb896 / #7d9a76), grey meta text (#8a8d86), monospace type. DELIVERABLES (exact file names): 1. favicon.ico with 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 images inside. 16 and 32 must be hand-tuned pixel versions, not downscaled masters; 48 may be rendered from the master. 2. favicon.svg: square viewBox, self-contained (no external references, no scripts, no embedded raster images, no fonts), under 5 KB. 3. apple-touch-icon.png: 180x180, OPAQUE square background (#070807 or a dark tone that fits), no pre-rounded corners. 4. icon-192.png and icon-512.png: transparent background, purpose "any". 5. icon-maskable-512.png: 512x512, opaque full-bleed background, the whole coin inside the central safe zone (circle of radius 40% = 204 px around the center), so nothing is cut off by circle, squircle or rounded-square masks. 6. safari-pinned-tab.svg: ONE solid color (black #000000) on a transparent background, square viewBox, fills only (convert any strokes to filled paths), no gradients, no opacity; readable as a silhouette. 7. site.webmanifest snippet: an "icons" array listing icon-192.png, icon-512.png (purpose "any") and icon-maskable-512.png (purpose "maskable") with correct sizes/type, plus theme_color and background_color "#070807". Also give the matching HTML <link> tags (icon .ico, icon svg, apple-touch-icon, manifest, mask-icon with color #c9a227). 8. Contact sheet PNG: every file above at its real size (ico at 16, 32, 48; favicon.svg at 32 and 64; 180, 192, 512, maskable 512 with the safe-zone circle drawn, and the pinned-tab silhouette), each shown on BOTH a light (#ffffff) and a dark (#070807) background, plus a mock browser-tab strip at 16 px in light and dark. 9. A short notes file: how the art was made, the colors used, and what was simplified at each small size. 10. The layered, editable source master (SVG with named layers/groups, or the generator script that builds it) as proof that the art is original. Upload the binaries (PNG/ICO) as files. SVGs and text may be pasted as text artifacts or uploaded as files. A single zip with everything is also fine. REQUIREMENTS: - Legible at 16 px: simplify the profile there (for example a bold head silhouette or just the coin plus rim and highlight, no fine hair or laurel detail). It should still read as "gold coin" at a glance in a browser tab. - Works on light and dark tabs: the transparent-background icons must stay distinct on both white and near-black, for example with a darker rim or outline. The contact sheet must prove it. - No lettering or legends on the coin at any size. - Original artwork only: no copying, tracing or photo-referencing of real or historical coins, real emperors' portraits or museum images, no stock, no AI-upscaled photos. The profile is an invented, generic classical head. - Consistent look across all files (same palette, same rim and highlight). ACCEPTANCE (we check each): all 10 deliverables present with the exact names; the pixel sizes match; favicon.ico contains 16, 32 and 48; maskable art stays inside the safe zone; the pinned-tab SVG is single-color; the 16 px version is recognizably the same coin on light and dark; the notes confirm the work is original.
