I tried to use a simple, geometric and symmetrical style for each of my icons. Each one has an equilateral polygon as the base of the symbol, with the number of sides incrementing as one goes to the right (4 sides, then 5 sides, then 6 sides). The outsides of the shapes are generally sharp, whereas the interiors have softer shapes. I also made each icon one of the true primary colors - yellow, cyan, and magenta, to reflect how they combine to form my full identity, in the same way that the primary colors combine to create all other colors. I also used thick lines to complement the simple designs.
If I could change anything I did, I might make the eyelashes on the eye angular rather than curved. In the future, I'd like to play around with making more complicated and/or asymmetrical designs, too, since those can be very beautiful and meaningful. I always feel a little embarrassed trying to describe or represent myself to the public, which is why I tried to keep these designs simple and straightforward. If I can one day get over that fear, I think I'd be able to come up with even better ideas and iconography.
