Two small cakes. One looks like a realistic mango and the other is a blackcurrant.
Like it's namesake, Mercury is fast. It's orbit around the sun only takes 88 Earth days.

A Miro board with lots and lots of scribbled lines, three post its labelled: 1 - Receiver, 2 - Beam Reflectors, 3 - Gun. It makes zero sense. Like, really. It looks like a two year old had fun scribbling in circles with crayons.
During the day, Mercury's temperature can reach up to 430°C! #MercuryFacts 🔭

A photograph of Mercury. On top are the words: You may think Mercury is the hottest planet in our solar system, but it's not. Venus is, due to its dense atmosphere.

Surface Greebles Greebles should suggest that they perform a job to justify why they appear on the modules, but they should be designed in a manner so that they are not confused as being puzzle elements. Make them contrast less with the rest of the module than the interactable assets do Use simplified forms that do not have complex geometry Lean towards shorter/flatter designs so that they don't stick out from the surface as puzzle assets do Materials should blend them in with their surroundings Size can vary as we would like simple ways to individualize hulls but be sure to inversely balance size with complexity What jobs can they look like: Provide power Cable bundles/conduits Junction boxes Data and communication antenna dish Structural reinforcement (chunky, repetitive/symmetrical, load bearing) Frame braces and ribs Bolted plates Maintenance access (hints at human scale involvement) Handles for spacewalking astronauts Service hatches Warning labels (decal, actually) Thermal management Heat vents Insulation tiles Heat radiators

The finished First Moon of Mercury logo on a white background. The main colours are a mint green and coral red. The font is sans serif, and the logo, while having a lot of different elements, is clean.
An early version of the logo. It is getting closer to the final, though there are a lot more elements, textures, and solid colours that are later edited out.
Some inspirations for texture of the logo. There are a lot of mechanical panels and greebling.
A sampling of early logo designs. They try out different fonts, word placements, textures, and elements. One of the main common threads between them all is the red coral colour that is used in the final logo.
An animated version of the First Moon of Mercury logo. The main colours are a mint green and coral red. The font is sans serif, and the logo, while having a lot of different elements, is clean. Different elements move about in a mechanical way, hinting at the fact that this is a puzzle game.
