The source image had a black border baked in. Knocked out the dark pixels into an alpha channel so the figure now floats on whatever surface is behind it — the dark gradient on the splash, the panel surface on the loading indicator, anywhere. Pipeline: source -> resize 1200w -> python/PIL alpha-from-luminance with soft 22-55 luminance ramp -> 8-bit RGBA PNG (267KB).
