Four pushed variations on the pad-as-chart direction, against the baseline. Each commits to the chart language differently, from subtle overlay to full silhouette-as-data.
Original direction: a quiet sparkline cut through the pad. Refined but reserved.
Pad becomes a clinical dashboard panel. Six rising bars cut out in navy, most literally 'chart'.
Solid teal pad with a thick ascending line cut out, terminated by an endpoint dot. Single decisive move, strongest at small sizes.
Pad's top edge becomes a jagged ascending data line. The shape itself encodes growth, no overlay needed. Most ownable silhouette.
Four toe beans rendered as ascending bars with rounded tops. Sacrifices paw arch for an unmistakable chart reading. Boldest commitment.
