This document serves as: -- Evidence of the investigation -- Documentation of the emoji choice -- Reference for future contributors - -## Alternative Considered - -We considered switching to crab emoji (🦀) to be more literal to the name, but determined: -- The cost of change outweighs the benefit -- "PicoClaw" is a creative name that doesn't need to match a specific crustacean -- The lobster emoji has character and makes the brand memorable - -## Related - -- Issue #578: https://github.com/sipeed/picoclaw/issues/578 \ No newline at end of file
