01 / Brand & Foundation
The identity and Foundation behind XTF.
XTF pairs a clear public identity with a Foundation purpose: to help young researchers and builders move meaningful questions forward through evidence, responsible making and support that can continue beyond a single event.
A public signal for serious young science and technology workQuestion → Evidence → Public value
02 / The identity
A signal with a job to do.
The XTF identity is not separate decoration. It makes the institution recognisable, gives its public work a consistent frame and helps people distinguish verified information from informal use.
Exact
Use the approved artwork, colour and spacing without redrawing or improvising the mark.
Public
Make methods, limits and next steps understandable—not only the finished surface.
Consistent
Carry one recognisable system across institutional information, programs and published work.
Talent is everywhere. Serious support is not.
The Foundation behind the signal.
XTF exists to give promising science and technology work more room to develop. Young people are often asked to present finished answers before they have had enough time to understand the problem, test a method or revise a claim.
The Foundation starts with the quality of the question. It supports inquiry, evidence, prototypes, review, documentation and a responsible next path. A program—including a competition—is one way to organise that support; it is not the whole institution.
03 / One system
Identity sets the standard. The Foundation carries it into action.
The visual and institutional systems share the same discipline: clarity before noise, evidence before claims and public value before novelty.
Make the source clear
The approved mark and visual system identify official XTF communication and resources.
Make the purpose clear
The institution exists to create better conditions for responsible young science and technology work.
Make the method clear
Mentorship, resources, review and documentation are organised around what the work actually needs.
Make each route clear
Every confirmed program states its own purpose, eligibility, terms and stage instead of borrowing certainty from the brand.
04 / Foundation pathway
From a meaningful question to a responsible next step.
The route is not always linear. These stages make progress visible without pretending that every project should become the same thing.

Use the identity. Understand the institution.
Brand files and Foundation information serve different tasks, but both belong to one accountable public system.
