ok so to start the new campaign, an image is needed. not a logo, an *image*. something that "represents" a chip and its potential uses and usefulness in a real and concrete way.
the problem is: this is a fabless semi-conductor design... there *is* no chip, there *is* nothing to put out there, and because it's just one component that goes *into* products, there *is* no frickin product either! a confusing jumbled utterly boring montage of hypothetical products would be needed.
even more of a conundrum: even putting up a picture of some BGA or QFP packaging isn't ok either, because depending on the final pincount, *AND* on large customer orders, the chip will be *custom packaged* and tailored to their needs (i.e. the same die will have far more interfaces added than there are actual pins, and the die re-packaged to suit the customer's needs, leaving many of the pads disconnected internally or connected internally to other dies).
How about a (rendered) picture of all/most package types. With libre-riscv + package types as print on each
With a (blurry) zoomed in schematic of a design with logic gates

but then bigger?
