fedec65 wraps Mitch in a Swiss snowflake

The fork swaps its app icon and favicon for a snowflake and pairs it with a rename to BetterCallMitCH.

branding

fedec65 is running a brand pass over their Mike fork. The old hand-built spinner icon is gone, replaced by a snowflake that now serves as both the in-app mark and the browser tab favicon. The snowflake reads as a Swiss visual cue, and it lands alongside a rename of the product from Mitch to BetterCallMitCH plus a rewritten README - three moves pointing at one identity.

The trade-off worth knowing: the old icon was a layered vector graphic that could change colour to signal states like working, done, or error. The new snowflake is a flat image, so those state cues are now approximated by tinting rather than drawn precisely. Cleaner identity, slightly less expressive status indicator.

So what If you're tracking which forks are positioning as distinct products rather than experiments, fedec65 is building a named, regional brand on top of Mike.
