The Capa mark
A hooded figure rendered in a single accent purple, with a negative-space C-curve in the body. Two readings, both intended: "capa" in Portuguese is cape or cloak, and the negative space spells the C of the language name. It reads at any size, from a 16-pixel favicon to a poster.

Warm paper, one accent purple
The site is anchored on a cream "paper" surface with a single accent purple carried across the logo, headings, links and the current-page indicator. Code panels invert to a dark eggplant.

A few requests, no enforcement
- Keep the proportions. The logo SVG scales uniformly; do not stretch, skew, or recolour.
- Use the accent colour on the logo whenever the surrounding design allows. If a monochrome version is needed, prefer the foreground colour of the surrounding text.
- Capa is written with a capital C and a lowercase rest (Capa, not CAPA or capa). All-caps is reserved for code: the Net, Stdio capability types in CamelCase.
- The hooded figure is intentional. "Capa" is Portuguese for cape or cloak. Please do not retitle it as a penguin, mage, or hooded ninja in third-party material; the metaphor matters.
