Should we start counting up?

In fact, I don’t want to retire it, so I started doodling with a days-in-office widget to replace it.

This is just a comp. Ideas are welcome.

I suppose, if things started to get rough for the new administration, the pencil points could wear down and break, and as time goes on some of the pencils would grow shorter.

Update: Things look different on a new day and now this looks to me like an ad. What is the aesthetic difference between a widget and an ad, anyway? It’s not a question of looking too slick, because many widgets are very smooth. Maybe in this case it’s the stock photo. Stock photos are great but they always make me feel like I’m being hustled, especially when they include smiling models.
