Shift 01 / Logistics has feelings now

OUTBOUND

Every parcel has
somewhere to be.

Route a cast of bright little parcels through gates, conveyors and one very solid Heavy. Read the board. Plan the chain. Try not to take the blinking personally.

Gold, blue, mint and coral parcel characters

01 / PARCEL SYSTEM

One body.
Many little lives.

The character system starts with one neutral parcel, then adds destination colour, expression and identity details. The result stays readable on the board without making every parcel feel identical.

Neutral parcel master body

Neutral master

The shared body and lighting base.

01
Coral parcel body for the north destination

North / Coral

A warm route signal in the crowd.

02
Gold parcel body for the east destination

East / Gold

Bright, stubborn and pointed east.

03
Sky parcel body for the south destination

South / Sky

Cool-headed. Usually.

04
Mint parcel body for the west destination

West / Mint

Already thinking about the next turn.

02 / EXPRESSION LAYERS

The route changes.
So does the face.

Eyes look ahead, blink between moves and react to the board. Faces remain separate from the body so colour, labels, graffiti and shipping wear can mix without multiplying the core art.

03 / DEPOT PIECES

Meet the
shift crew.

Every mechanism reads as a board piece first: compact silhouette, clear state and enough industrial character to belong in the same slightly unruly depot.

Heavy, a large immovable depot block

HEAVY / H-01

Moves once.
Stops parcels.

Heavy can be pushed one tile, then becomes part of the route. A simple rule with a satisfyingly solid silhouette.

04 / DESTINATIONS

Four ways out.

Colour and compass direction work together, so a destination stays legible even when the depot gets busy.
