BUMIMI — Vote · 9 Logos + 36 Pack Directions + Gifts + Formats + Characters

⭐ THE UPSTREAM DECISION · vote this FIRST

🌍 LAYER -1 · Brand Systems (24 cohesive DNA candidates · V10 + V11 + V12 + V13 · 2026-05-25)

Jenn's correction: V5-V9 hardcoded the same Ghibli-watercolor-MOCHI face onto every pack. Each pack-aesthetic actually demands its own mascot incarnation. V10 maps the combinatorial space (Logo × Mascot × Pack × Illustration × Palette × Vibe) into 6 internally-coherent systems. Vote ONE system → that locks BUMIMI's brand DNA across every downstream channel (ads · social · merch · POS · subscription gifts). Mean coherence 9.3/10 · zero Ghibli-leakage across non-baseline systems · all V10 assets also embedded in Love Earth deck.

🏆 TOP 3 SYSTEMS (creative-director eye + coherence ranking)

🥇 most uncopyable IP	SYS2 · KAMPUNG BUMI WORLD — Pentagram-tier brand-world. 3 named characters in Malaysian kampung universe. Category-defining moat supporting merch + subscription + ads + 5-year story arc. Hardest to copy.
🥈 cultural-craft moat	SYS5 · WAYANG KULIT BUMI — Malaysian shadow-puppet aesthetic doesn't exist anywhere in global kids granola. Premium-positioned. Gift-worthy. Culturally legitimate.
🥉 play-value mechanic	SYS4 · TROPICAL TRADING CARDS — TCG card-frame baked into brand DNA. Every pack = collectible. Subscription = next card. Ad creative writes itself. Engagement moat.

📋 Recommended vote sequence (15 directions now)

1️⃣ FIRST · meta question	Look at V5 row vs V6 row. Does BUMIMI lean MORE-character (V6 F11/F8/F15) or MORE-pattern (V5 F3/F4)? Vote any one V6 to signal yes-character-led.
2️⃣ Top 3 V6 picks	F11 Trading Card (Pokemon framing · turns cert moat into play) · F8 Bento Window (real granola visible · premium+kid wins together) · F15 Crayon (anti-AI-slop moat · Lemon8 thumbnail blue-ocean)
3️⃣ V5 still strong	F3 Neon Asian Street for Shopee scroll-stop · F4 Peranakan for Hari Raya/Merdeka LE drops regardless
4️⃣ Pair with format	If F8 Bento Window wins → naturally pair with Format 🥈 Die-Cut Character-Ear (compounds the window concept)
5️⃣ Day-1 gift	Vote #005 MOCHI Sticker Sheet as Day-1 (lowest-risk learning loop) · then queue #004 Plushie Family for M3 sub-anchor
6️⃣ Skip likely	F6 Kinetic Type (high craft, kid-attract only 5/10) · F7 Risograph (eye 7/10, weakest of V6)
