How to read this page

Batch 1 is Katie's first review of 20 probe-character concepts. Batch 2 is the post-feedback exploration that pushed away from the amber-on-black brand combo. Batch 3 is additive — built directly on what survived Katie's review (icons 1, 2, 3, 18) and informed by real-borescope hardware (LED-ring tip, semi-rigid cable, dual-lens hint). Pick favorites from any batch.

Batch 3 — Additive: borescope-informed survivors

Built on Katie's survivors, informed by real borescopes

Riffs on icons 1, 2, 3, and 18 from the original review (the cute round mascot direction Katie loved), now with subtle real-borescope hardware cues — LED-ring halo around the lens-eye, semi-rigid coiled cable as a friendly tail, twin-lens "pigtail" buds. Five palettes (sage/coral, sky/peach, mint/plum, berry/blush, butter/teal) — none amber-on-void.

KEEP cute & round + LED-ring halo + twin-cable framing no hardhat / shaft no mouths
Batch 2 · post-feedback exploration
Batch 2 — 25 post-feedback explorations

Cuter, friendlier, away from amber-on-void

The first response to Katie's marketing review: lean into cute/round/friendly, drop the hardhat-on-scope silhouettes, drop the mouths-with-teeth, explore color palettes that step away from the amber/black brand combo.

KEEP cute & round broader audience no hardhat-on-scope no mouths/teeth no amber-on-void
