Logos

The mark & the wordmark

The seal works as an avatar, favicon, and video watermark. The wordmark is the primary lockup. Use gold-on-dark wherever possible.

Give the logo breathing room — clear space at least the height of the “S” on all sides. Minimum seal size 32px; minimum wordmark width 120px. Don’t recolor, stretch, rotate, add shadows, or place the gold logo on a busy or low-contrast background.

Color — “Archive & Gold”

Boilerplate & origin

Approved copy

Short (1 line)

Sankofa Daily is an independent media brand preserving and popularizing Black history — accurately, accessibly, and independently — so it can never be erased.

Name origin

“Sankofa” is an Akan (Twi) word meaning “go back and get what was left behind” — the mission of reclaiming lost history to build the future.

Long (paragraph)

Sankofa Daily is an independent, YouTube-first media brand that preserves and popularizes Black history. Through short, rigorously-sourced video — every claim receipted to primary sources like the Library of Congress, National Archives, and the Schomburg Center — it tells the history the textbooks skipped: the untold figures, the hidden events, the roots before slavery, and the legacies that shape today. It also publishes a new sourced statistic on African American life every day. By owning its audience directly, Sankofa Daily keeps this work free, accurate, and impossible to quietly erase.

Why it exists

Sankofa Daily was founded on one conviction: as Black history is edited out of textbooks and curricula, it must be preserved somewhere no one can quietly erase it. The brand is deliberately about the record, not any one person — the mission is bigger than a byline.
