# Source inventory and authority

**Review date:** 2026-10-29. This inventory is not a claim that every RACE marketing asset has been inspected.

| Source | What can be verified | Status | Authority / limitation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RACE Website Redesign Master Handoff, September 2026 | Palette, program hours, Arimo direction, site visual direction, specific locked pages/CTAs/forms/tracking | Approved by us | Authoritative for locked setups in scope; not a full original brand identity manual |
| race.edu homepage | Present messaging, navigation, website images, five program family | Observed in existing materials | The current site is not a blanket approval of type sizes or component styles |
| race.edu/about-us | School positioning and online campus-photo gallery | Observed in existing materials | Website images not verified originals |
| race.edu/more-info | Traditional landing-page layout and form/CTA examples | Approved for that production page only | Do not automatically globalize PPC design choices |
| race.edu/night-school | Night School layout and Tuesday–Thursday 4–8 PM schedule | Approved for that production page only | Live start dates differ from older handoff and require date owner |
| Shared Hair Design SharePoint Excel link | Link received | Still unresolved | Login required; contents not examined |
| Swift Peak sample reference | Section hierarchy, source labels, interactive swatches, downloads, provenance, proposed examples | Observed in reference | **Documentation inspiration only**, zero Swift Peak branding reused |
| Original RACE vector logos | Not supplied | Still unresolved | No official variations, min sizes or clear space can be established |
| Original photo masters and rights | 17 source JPGs supplied and permission confirmed by Mandy 2026-10-30; underlying release documents not supplied to us | Public use confirmed by Mandy; underlying contracts not independently reviewed | Previous public website image provenance still unresolved |
| Brand guidelines / print / social / ads / email examples | Not supplied | Still unresolved | Need examples to assess cross-channel consistency |

## Source priority

1. New, explicit approval by Mandy + Danny for cross-channel brand decisions.
2. Original source art / formal RACE brand standards for logos and licensing, after verifying provenance.
3. September 2026 RACE Master Handoff for documented locked production decisions, program facts and approved palette.
4. Current race.edu as implementation evidence and source copy to verify.
5. Draft proposals in this repository, **not** authoritative until accepted.

## Initial differences to investigate

- September handoff contains a September 29, 2026 Night School start reference; as reviewed Oct 29, the live Night School page says October 20. Both are past as of this review. Never make start dates immutable brand tokens.
- Live navigation shortens "Lash & Brow Technology" to "Lash & Brow". Establish long and short approved variants.
- Current site headings and PPC sections are useful patterns, but their fonts, sizes, radii, cards and effects have not all been accepted as global rules.
- Color roles in this kit are proposals until reviewed; the documented hex values are established.
- The live site uses files named `ChatGPT-Image...`. Confirm which are generated, composited, or authentic before brand rules say "real photographs".


## New user-provided sources - October 30, 2026

- `Copy of RACE Horizontal w text transparent (4).png`: 2,031 x 875 RGBA image supplied by Mandy; supplied logo candidate, not certified official vector artwork.
- 17 `DSC_*.jpg` photographs: original JPG files supplied by Mandy; includes community/group portraits, individual portrait images, campus spaces and beauty tools. Content available for visual analysis. Public RACE website and model marketing permissions confirmed by Mandy on 2026-10-30; supporting documents not independently reviewed.
- Mandy's explicit voice direction: "friendly, genuine a and inviting place for everyone" [sic, preserved as source sentiment]. Treated as approved core brand personality. Proposed phrases remain proposals.
