This first one contains multiple variants of an icon for “owl hat,” a simple combination of words. The first row is different versions of pure CMYK coloring, which I personally love. The next is a burgundy background with different CMYK shades with B@0%, two of the colors at 100%, and one at 37%. The muted RGB spectrum is another style that I’ve kind of fallen in love with.
For the second set of icons, we were allowed to use any set of words we wanted, so I used keyboard and email to make “Keymail.” I wanted to come up with something that sounded like it could be a real company as well.
