As a follow-up to the Spaceship's FUI project, MEKABEAR also requested the creation of alerts and an overlay to be used in her personal broadcast. The goal was to have a looping overlay that would react to the alerts, changing colors based on the type of the alert that is played, while maintaining the same style as the previous intermission screen.

To accommodate different screen placements, the overlay was designed to be positioned either at the bottom or top of the screen. Additionally, it needed to provide ample space to display information about new subscribers, donations, and other relevant details.
After some time experimenting with the overall look of the overlay, we decided it was better to go with a design that wasn't so crowded in the center in order to maintain the readability of MEKA's logo. Shortly after, we began exploring several color combinations for all 6 variations.
The alerts were designed to incorporate MEKA's logo, seamlessly integrating the displayed names and amounts within the logo itself. Furthermore, the animation was crafted to emulate a self-assembling robot with a clunk and mechanical movement.
