Priority fixes

  1. [contrast_color] Darken or deepen the sky and background with richer blues or atmospheric haze to create stronger silhouette separation against the Steam dark background
  2. [title_readability] Add a subtle drop shadow or semi-transparent backing behind the title text to ensure legibility at tiny sizes where the cliff texture may undermine contrast
  3. [composition] Reduce the empty sky area by pushing the building cluster higher and larger to fill the frame, ensuring one iconic element like the lighthouse or a building stack dominates at small size
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce one distinctive visual storytelling detail such as a tiny human figure or a playful floating element to create a memorable identity hook beyond a generic building scene
