Governance

Ownership

  • The brand system is owned by Halcyra's (fictional) Brand team. In Pist, it is maintained by Pist's editor.
  • Changes to the logo, colours, type or tagline need editor approval and a new version number.

Use in Pist tests

  • Test briefs change only with a new version, logged in the Pist change log, because changing the brief changes what results mean.
  • When a tool generates something off-brand (for example a looming drone, or a drone with no propellers), that is a test finding, not a brand change.

Misuse

Report misuse of the Halcyra name or marks to Pist. Halcyra is fictional; it must never be presented as a real company, used to collect real orders or personal information, or used to imply endorsement by any real company.

Fictional-brand notice

Halcyra, the Wren, Landing Spot, Nests, Halcyra Neighbors, Halcyra Plus, Maple Street Pharmacy and Ridgeview are invented for testing. Any resemblance to real companies, products or places is unintended.
