Second Pass

# One Better Llama Family, Then Theme Variants

This pass fixes the main earlier problem: it starts from a single Ollama-adjacent mascot silhouette and only then branches into plain, tech, and dark attitudes. The result is more cohesive, more brandable, and closer to the official Ollama illustration tone.

Refined Family

## North-star base plus restrained variants

The plain, tech, and dark versions below all share the same head, wool mass, stance, and facial logic. That is the right foundation if this ever becomes a real splash mascot.

north star

### Ollama House Style

Rounded muzzle, heavy wool body, simple eyes, minimal accessory load. This is the base drawing the themed versions should inherit from.

plain

### Soft Product Mascot

The safest branch. Warm palette, small ribbon detail, same face logic, and no extra clutter beyond one readable accent.

tech

### Local-AI Builder Energy

Still the same llama, just pushed into a cleaner future-facing lane with a visor arc and minimal circuit-strip accents.

dark

### Stage-Ready Metal Variant

Same structure, but with fringe, collar spikes, and a small cape note. It reads heavier without breaking the family or becoming ugly stock art.

Why This Pass Works Better

## Specific corrections from the rougher board

One silhouette family instead of nine disconnected doodles. This is the core correction. The eye line, wool mass, and head proportion stay stable, so the variants feel like product branches rather than unrelated mascots.
Better face hierarchy. The face carries the identity first, while accessories remain secondary. That matches the Ollama references much more closely.
Theme comes from color and attitude, not costume overload. Plain gets warmth, tech gets cool accents, dark gets theatrical attitude. The theme does not need to shout to read clearly.
