Selya: what she is for and what each of her moods means

Updated

Selya is the Sellerist mascot. She is the same letter S from the logo, drawn in squares, with eyes, little legs and an “online” dot over her head. She is not decoration: by her look you understand what is going on before you have read the text.

What she is for

All the moods

The dot over her head shows the status, the sign above the dot shows what happened. In the happy moods Selya waves and hops.

Everything worksThe shop is fine, orders are delivered by themselves. The usual mood.
HelloA first sign-in, a hint, getting to know a section.
Order deliveredThe buyer got the goods. A “+” sign over the dot.
Money arrivedA sale is paid or money was unfrozen. A coin over her head.
CelebrationAn achievement: for example, the getting-started checklist on the site completed.
WaitingWaiting for a buyer or a supplier. A yellow dot, a look to the side.
A hintHelp, a tip, an explanation. A “?” sign over the dot.
Nothing foundAn empty search or an empty list. Selya with a magnifying glass.
QuietNight, no orders, all calm. Eyes closed, a gray dot.
Help neededSomething needs your action: an order is not delivered, a marketplace refused. A red dot and “!”.

Where Selya appears

Why she is made of squares

A pixel drawing reads well at any size: from a 16-dot icon in the menu to a large picture. Selya is drawn on a grid of 12 × 12 squares, and she is the same everywhere: the same scheme draws her in the panel, the extension and on the site.
