FIRE
MENDOZA

Dark monospace dashboard. KPI tiles, incident log, contract efficiency table, ASCII flames. Built for the analytics crowd that is having a feeling.

V3

FIRE
BOTH

Citi Field Jumbotron

LED dot-matrix scoreboard, pixel fonts glowing amber and orange, live linescore, big seven-segment days counter. As if the jumbotron staged a mutiny.

Wanted Poster

Old West sepia parchment. "Dead or Fired." Mugshots of Mendoza & Stearns, list of crimes, $50M reward, Western Union telegram to Cohen. Saddle up.
