- New AvBeatLogo inline-SVG component (rounded-square emblem with
forward-leaning AV monogram + horizontal beam detail) at
src/components/AvBeatLogo.tsx, three variants (full/wordmark/icon).
- Header.tsx now uses the responsive AV BEAT logo lockup in the
top-left, links to /, full lockup on desktop (emblem+wordmark+tagline),
emblem+wordmark on tablet, emblem-only on mobile.
- Removed DualSpeedTicker (the 'RECENT FORUM POSTS' ticker strip);
the news ticker / glow chrome does not match the new aesthetic and the
forum row was the explicit removal target.
- Tailwind theme + globals.css now expose the AV BEAT 2026 palette as
semantic tokens: --brand-blue (#1D4ED8), --brand-blue-bright (#38BDF8),
--brand-navy (#0F172A), --brand-bg (#F8FAFC), --brand-surface, --brand-border,
--brand-text, --brand-text-muted. Legacy --color-* aliases re-point to the
new tokens so any inline-styled component re-themes for free.
- Site-wide hex sweep migrates 2,769 hardcoded color literals across 144
files from the old dark-broadcast palette to the new tokens (orange
-> blue, dark-brown -> white surface / navy text, cream -> navy).
- Layout body class flipped from 'bb-neon' to 'bg-brand-bg text-brand-text'
so the dark glow chrome no longer leaks through the new light theme.
Hit pages we didn't get the first pass: rss, gear, show-coverage,
articles/[slug], contributor, manufacturers, login, client-login, terms,
dashboard/show-calendar, and team-page derive helpers (domain + comment).
- /search and /reading-list already had Header + Footer; add a
single in-content 728x90 banner at the bottom of each main column
(gated on ADS_728X90.length > 0, hidden on mobile).
- /contributor was a bare dashboard with sidebar + main, no site
chrome at all. Wrap it in the standard Header + Footer; drop the
inner sidebar/main wrapper from min-h-screen to a natural-height
flex so the dashboard sits below the header instead of competing
with it for full viewport. Header brings the site-wide 728x90
leaderboard with it, so contributors see the same ad inventory
as the public site without a second in-content banner cluttering
the dashboard panes.
