Your logo, brighter than white.
A normal image stops at the white of the page. Your pack uses the maximum supported HDR brightness, so the light parts can shine beyond it on a compatible screen. Every pack also hangs a lantern with your name on the board.

What is in the pack
Your logo, encoded at the same fixed HDR brightness in the sizes a brand actually uses. It is built in your browser from the file you upload; the unencoded logo goes only to our storage.

An example pack
What a pack looks like once it is unzipped, for a logo that reads "Your logo". These previews are SDR and can only pretend; the real files carry the profile that makes them glow.

Every payment receives the same maximum-brightness HDR pack. Paying above $5 only makes your lantern brighter and moves it higher on the board.
| You pay | Your pack | Your lantern |
|---|---|---|
| $5 | Maximum HDR brightness | a lantern at the bottom of the board |
| $55 | Maximum HDR brightness | higher, and it starts to glow |
| $505 | Maximum HDR brightness | most of the way up |
| $985 and above | Maximum HDR brightness | rank by money; the light is maxed |
Where it shows
Use the SDR sticker and card anywhere. Instagram and Threads support HDR photos on compatible devices. Other platforms may tone-map or flatten HDR uploads. The HDR files use an encoding range up to 10,000 nits. Actual brightness depends on the image, app, device, display, and processing.
- Safari and Chrome on an HDR display: MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad Pro, most flagship Android phones
- Your own website and app, as an ordinary image tag
- A slide on an HDR screen
- Instagram and Threads can display compatible gain-map HDR photos
- X, LinkedIn and Slack may tone-map or flatten HDR uploads
- Email clients
- Every SDR screen, and every screenshot of any of this
- Battery saver on most phones dims HDR to nothing
That is why the board exists. The only way to see the glow is to open it on a screen that can, so the board is where people open it.
Your lantern
Every pack hangs one lantern on the board with your name painted on it, and it links to your site or your X profile. You choose the shape, round, long, an andon box or a bronze one, and the paper, red, white, banded or striped. The higher you paid, the higher it hangs and the brighter it burns, from paper white at $5 to the cap.
Claiming #1
The board is ranked by what each lantern has paid in total. Pay more than the top lantern and yours hangs first and burns brightest. Anyone can pay more and pass you; nobody emails you when they do, you just see your lantern move. Paying again on the same link adds to your total, so passing someone costs the difference plus a dollar, never the whole amount again. Equal totals keep their order: the earlier lantern stays ahead.
The rules
- No refunds. A pack is delivered the moment the payment lands, and a lantern is a position that somebody else could have bought.
- One lantern per link. The same site or handle always adds to the same lantern.
- A lantern is a paid advertisement, not an endorsement, a review, or a ranking of anything but money.
- Your logo must be yours, and the link must go to something you are allowed to represent. We take down what is not.
- Checkout is by Dodo Payments, who are the merchant of record and handle tax. Prices are in US dollars.
