Lab direction

Human Intent

A research direction organized around human aims, human authority, and inspectable evidence, not a claim that a new intelligence type is already proven.

Boilerplate

Language you can quote.

Vext Labs is an independent Human Intent research and product lab, and the company behind JUWEL. The lab studies how intelligence can serve human aims, preserve human authority, and remain open to independent examination. Its research archive explains the evidence policy; public manuscript bodies are temporarily withheld during evidence reconciliation.

One line: Vext Labs is a Human Intent research and product lab, and the company behind JUWEL.

Brand mark

The Figma X and wordmark.

This is the only Vext Labs mark shown or recommended for reference on this page: the exported X symbol and the X-plus-wordmark lockup, geometry from Figma node 1:1337 (X) and node 1:1220 / 1:1278 (lockup). Neither file is redrawn or retraced.

Vext Labs lockup: X symbol and Vext Labs wordmark

Usage rules

Six things never to do to the mark.

  • No opacity change.
  • No recolouring, one ink, no alternate colours.
  • No stretching or distorting the proportions.
  • No gradients applied to the mark.
  • No rotation.
  • No rearranging the X and wordmark relative to each other.

Spacing

Clear space and gap.

Keep at least 28px of clear space from every edge of the mark. In the lockup, hold a 16px gap between the X and the wordmark.

Never on this mark

No JUWEL gem, no hexagon.

The flat-top hexagon and the JUWEL gem are the product's mark, not the lab's. Never place either as the Vext Labs mark on vextlabs.ai.

A packaged, multi-format brand kit is not published yet: the mark clause in the lab's own brand lock is still pending confirmation. For a publication-ready file today, request it directly.
