Partner Rail
The tiered partner rail: partners grouped into centered tier sections, each logo sized by a shared rubric. Gold is the source of truth; silver and bronze derive by a 25% step. Sources: src/components/ds/ui/PartnerRail.tsx, PartnerTierLogo.tsx, PartnerRail.rules.md.
Rail
The live component (as it appears in the blog's right gutter). Hover to lift the logos from grayscale to color. Drive the sizes with the workshop controls below.
PARTNER_LOGO_GOLD = { maxWidth: 170, maxHeight: 40 }
PARTNER_LOGO_TIER_STEP = 0.75
row gap per tier = gold 0px · silver 0px · bronze 0px
// image.scale per partner (paste into partners.tsx):
ag-grid: scale 1.10
serpapi: scale 0.92
netlify: scale 1.25
openrouter: scale 1.25
clerk: scale 0.72
unkey: scale 0.70Tiers
Gold is the only knob. silver = gold × 0.75, bronze = gold × 0.75² (0.5625). The dashed boxes are the derived per-tier logo bounds at the current gold base.
Per-logo scale
The tier box sets the size; the global per-partner `scale` (in partners.tsx) is the optical-weight knob layered on top. Use < 1 for logos that read heavy (dense/icon-forward marks), > 1 for logos that read light (thin or padded wordmarks), roughly 0.7–1.3. `scale` is global, so it also affects the partners page and other placements.
Tune each logo's scale with the workshop sliders above until every logo in a tier reads at a consistent visual size against a reference, then copy the values from the config output into partners.tsx.
