Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Reduce the left-side character vignette in size or brightness so the center lava cityscape becomes the undisputed single focal point at small and tiny sizes.
  2. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle automation or steam-pipe visual element (gears, pipes, steam vents) closer to the center to differentiate from generic fantasy builders at tiny size.
  3. [brand_consistency] Introduce one iconic dwarf character face or a recognizable symbol (cog, anvil, steam icon) near the title that could serve as a brand anchor across future marketing.
  4. [contrast_color] Lighten or add a subtle rim light to the left-side dwarf characters so they read as distinct silhouettes rather than dark blobs in grayscale and at tiny size.
