Description
To me, the Ferris icons look more or less the same. The differences (the small mouth, the question mark, the positions of the claws) are almost negligible compared to the similarities (the big spiky red body, the chibi eyes with their pupils, the legs).
Could they be made a bit more distinguishable?
To propose a solution, each of the icons can be linked to a symbol, which would be clearly displayed (maybe even repeated) above Ferris:
?for "compilation error"!for "runtime error" ("panic")#for "logic error"
