Chough — treatments for the shortlist

The three shapes you picked, with crystalline dropped. Every treatment here is built from real geometric cuts — the shape is sliced and a thin band deleted — so the gaps are actual holes, not background-coloured overlays. They therefore survive on any wallpaper and in the flat mono mask. Small tile under each is 40px.

Side-view poses — whole and half bird

Variations on the perched bird: posture, direction, and how much of the bird the frame keeps. Solid for shape, outline for the same shape as line only, then 40px.

In flight — shape variants

Your current favourite, varied on the things that actually change its character: wingspan and how much it fills the tile, sweep angle, how many slotted primaries, tail shape, and rotation. Solid, cut, and outline for each.
