@Jaqster I wanted to tag someone from micro:bit to review these images, do you know who I should add?

They are great updates thanks @soniakandah

One of the brand rules is "Only show the micro:bit in its available colours (green, blue, yellow, red)." so we should avoid purple. Otherwise LGTM

Great to see these updated but some these treatments using emojis fall foul of our brand rules about not anthropomorphising the micro:bit. I'm afraid we're really strict about asking people not to make cartoon characters out of the micro:bit board, add faces etc. Indeed some time ago I think the micro:bit MakeCode banner was tweaked to avoid this. The heart, name tag and dice images are all fine from this point of view.
See point (xi) in https://microbit.org/brand-guidelines/#when-can-i-use-the-micro:bit-device-image?
