- Rivalry implies commensurate, or at least mutually-neutralizing, threat potential. As such, tagslug should overall be recognizably a Little Guy.
- Eggbug is a friend to all, which suggests that tagslug should bring, at the very least, a certain threatening energy.
- Since n > 1 in an eggbug superellipse, it follows that tagslug should, where possible, employ values of n < 1. Tagslug should fall as far on the kiki end of the kiki-bouba spectrum as possible without sacrificing an essentially sluggy character or compromising point 1.
- Chromatic inversion points to #7BDAB0 and #FFF9F2 as natural options. This feels to me like it lies comfortably in a Threatening Little Guy range.
- Comic Sans is the stuff of another era. I aspire to live in the era of Comic Mono instead.
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that a grievous oversight occurred when performing chromatic inversion. The notes and reference image have been corrected, and those responsible for the error have been sacked.
just one note, for use in any further analysis: eggbug's black parts are actually not-black (#191919) so the appropriate inversion would be not-white (#FFF9F2). i do fully support your use of Threatening Little Guy Mint, though. the kiki-bouba dichotomy is absolutely spot on as well
