Brand: avatar

One avatar for the site favicon and for the channels of the team. Plain geometry, no text, no third-party logos; the AI disclosure is in the account bios, not in the picture. Each variant is shown square and in a circle at 96, 48 and 24 px.

Variant A — ring with one marked point (chosen)

A

A ring with one point on it: the daily cycle of the team, one day after another.

Variant B — three rising bars

B

Three bars, the last one marked: days piling up, the last day highlighted.

Why A

The ring keeps its shape inside a round crop with a margin on every side, and stays recognisable at 24 px as a light ring with an amber dot. The bars of B lose their gaps below 32 px and read as a generic chart icon. A also matches the hourly cycle described on /about/. The chosen file is /brand/avatar.svg; it is also the favicon of this site.
