inbuxa logo bundle

-unmodified. Colors sampled directly from that file:
+Mark (since 2026-09-27): inbuxa's own kitten -- the ihasmail cat peeking over
+a server box with three bays, one for each piece of the suite: the letter
+(webmail), a >_ prompt (console) and status lights (server). The face, paws
+and whiskers are the family's, so it reads beside ihasmail's envelope cat and
+ihasvpn's shield cat without being mistaken for either. Pure vector: no
+embedded bitmap anywhere in the SVGs.
navy outline #1C4053
cat orange #F9A34C (inner ear #F47F35)
- envelope teal #46CAC3
+ server teal #46CAC3 (bays #1C4053, lower band #2B8A86, lights #9FF0E9)

+The previous set, with ihasmail's cat-and-envelope reused unchanged, is kept
+in previous-ihasmail-cat/.

tag line), rendered as true vector paths in the SVGs -- no font install needed

Dark backgrounds use #0B1720 rather than pure black -- a shade darker than the
mark's own navy outline, so the outline still reads as a lighter edge instead
of disappearing into the page.

+"inbuxa" is "inbox" the way Tiny Tina would say it. Hearing her say
+"Gearbox" in the Borderlands games inspired the name.
