CHRNAI / SYMBOL STUDY 03

From the edge of leaving to a new connection.

A full reset: symbols only. No C, dot, letter, wordmark, age-style badge or neon tile. These make a different visual argument about churn: separation, intervention and continued connection. They are drawings for selection and refinement, not an approved identity.

Four strokes cross the field; one doubles back before it exits

01 / THE RETURN

Change the trajectory

A path that looks set to leave turns back into the system. The gesture is a decision in motion, not a generic circular loop. Strongest link to churn intervention.

Several flows cross a line and continue in new directions

02 / THE THRESHOLD

Read the moment

Flows meet one threshold and take new paths. This has the feel of intelligence acting at the decision point. It needs refinement so the threshold does not read as a chart axis.

Continuous strands interweave to form a connected field

03 / THE WEAVE

Keep the relationship

Separate lines become a connected field. A broader retention story that can grow beyond churn. Less literal about a customer leaving.

Check whether crossings remain clear.

An abstract symbol cannot reliably say “churn” to a stranger on its own. These communicate a mechanism; the first-time viewer still needs ChrnAI’s name and nearby churn-first positioning in the site header. The marks themselves remain symbol-only. Before adopting one, test what new viewers think it means without the captions.
