Calendar Rings

The landing page is one concentric disk that works as an instrument.

Signature. The disk as a readable instrument: four surface labels on arc paths, seven knocked-out numerals, twenty flag chips on the outer ring, two notched edges turning against each other; then the same disk inverted, rising cut from the floor of the dark band.

Section 3The concept

The brief

Ground and dither rings alternate outward from the source at the center and every ring reads something real: the claim in the hub inside the jade source circle, the name inscribed on ring one, the four product surfaces labelled along ring two, the seven usage rates as bar-and-dot numerals knocked out of ring three, the twenty locales of the outer ring as flag chips on ring four, and a rim notched once per locale. A stepped plinth carries the sub, the CTAs and a six-cell key that says how to read the disk. Every later section unrolls one ring into a wide arc band with radial cells, notch ticks and numerals seated on the arc: the customers, the T component as a half disk around its source window, the stack and the nine-beat pipeline in the negative ring floored by the disk itself inverted, the languages in two bands of ten in the disk's own order with a variants register, and the pricing file as seven rate segments plus two plan segments. Lineage is the Aztec and Maya revival of 1920s deco, geometry only (Sun Stone, Dresden Codex numerals, Aztec Hotel registers); palette is obsidian, fired clay, jade and gold.
