The wildcards
Eight doors, three worth walking through
The tail question
A fox tail curling into a question mark — "where is it?" and the fox in one stroke. Reads ? first, fox second, exactly right. The most elegant idea of the whole exploration.
The fox in the box
Ears and eyes over a box rim: "it's in here!" The personality winner — playful, warm, category-literal (your stuff lives in boxes), and nobody has anything like it.
The pure fox
A bold geometric head — a real mark, Firefox-territory ambition. Says brand, not function; see the fox-field evidence below before choosing it.
Noon sun + fox
The name story — at noon, nothing hides. Lovely and storybook-warm, but it's an illustration more than an icon; the fox mushes at 29 px. Save it for the brand, not the tile.
The ping
Executed cleanly — but the arcs read Wi-Fi, so the icon says "smart-home app," not "find your stuff."
String on the finger
Warm and universal — but it promises a reminders app, and hands go muddy at small sizes.
X marks the spot
Bold — but on a phone, a big X means close, delete, error. Wrong instinct to trigger on a Home Screen.
The beam
Meant as a flashlight finding an item; reads as a comet. Abstract lost the argument.
