Design: the sticker build
Choice: Charades uses the sticker build imposter 2.0 uses: a 2px edge and hard shadow on everything you can press, solid industry colours, a cream page. Curtain red is the brand and the one action colour, gold is money only (reserved-gold), skip is slate. A dark palette is drawn. The icon is concept A, a laughing face with the card on its forehead (designs/brand/icon.svg). patterns/alerts draws the OS's own dialogs and is not restyled. Hindi and Telugu stay; no new languages until usage data says so.
Why: the owner judged the old look dated; the smiley-and-frown icon read as a feedback app and green/red as right/wrong. One build makes imposter and charades a family, so a fix in one carries to the other. The app ships userInterfaceStyle: "automatic" and no dark screen existed.
Rejected: icon concepts with fanned cards, a curtain or a clapperboard · pastel washes and thin line icons · dropping Hindi and Telugu.
