💭 Thinking **Creating exact banners** I’m treating the display as a precise 72×16 LED matrix, not a cinematic strip. I’ll design several compact pixel-art banners with stark cyberpunk colors, readable text, and authentic cell-level geometry. **Created exact banners** **Inspected image resolution dimensions**

The usable canvas is a **literal 72×16 pixel matrix**, not a wide illustration compressed afterward. I rebuilt six banners as exact **72×16 PNGs**, with hard pixel edges and brutalist 1980s Japanese cyberpunk styling: [Download the 72×16 banner pack](sandbox:/mnt/data/busybar_72x16_brutalist_banners.zip) Included states: THINK, CODE, TEST, WAIT, DONE, and ERROR.
