OPTION A
Photograph bleeding off the right edge
One image at full strength, dissolved into the ink so there is no hard seam. No motion, nothing to break. The most magazine-like of the four.

OPTION B
Photograph inside the emblem geometry
The same photo clipped into a disc, framed by the concentric rings and 72 scanner ticks taken from your mark. The logo becomes the frame rather than appearing twice.

OPTION C
Fingerprint ridge scan — no photograph
Concentric ridges with a red pulse travelling outward every seven seconds, three pulses staggered. Pure SVG, a few KB, no image dependency. The most on-theme option.

OPTION D
Offset photo stack with slow crossfade
Three cards in a cascade, the top one crossfading every four seconds. This is the animated gallery — and the option most dependent on having genuinely different photographs.
