Heartbeat Skyline — 5 Variations
The pulse line forms building silhouettes. The neighborhood's heartbeat. Exploring weight, style, and abstraction levels.
Variation A
Clean Pulse Skyline
Pure line. The EKG becomes a skyline — building heights as pulse spikes. Minimal, elegant. The tallest spike is the anchor point. No fill, just the stroke.
Variation B
Filled Skyline Pulse
Line + gradient fill underneath. More presence than pure line. The glow dot on the tallest peak says "pulse, alive, now." The fill fades to transparent at the bottom.
Variation C
Pulse Skyline in Circle
Contained mark. Gradient circle with white pulse skyline inside. Works as app icon directly. Strong at small sizes. The most "logo-like" — self-contained, no bleed.
Variation D
Rooftop Heartbeat
Home + heartbeat. The tallest EKG spike IS the rooftop. Subtle house body below. More "neighborhood" than pure skyline. The house only appears at larger sizes — degrades gracefully to just a pulse.
Variation E
App Icon: Pulse Skyline
Ready-made app icon. Rounded square with the pulse skyline inside. Combines C's containment with B's fill. Works as favicon, app store icon, and header logo. The most production-ready option.
