Round 19: Geometry

[mellon]

This month we're having a purely technical challenge. Your icons need to be inspired by geometry: shapes, points, lines, distances, angles, curves, planes... anything geometric! The geometric elements can already exist in your chosen screencaps, or you can add them yourself with textures, brushes, composition etc.

For the purposes of this challenge, classic geometric shapes such as triangles, squares and circles clearly count, but other clean, relatively simple shapes such as hearts, arrows and other symbols do too. Technically speaking every object has a shape of some sort, but to fit the spirit of the challenge the shapes should be easy enough to define using simple lines, curves, basic shapes etc. This way they look "geometric" rather than just any random shape. So, a character's silhouette wouldn't count as a shape (too complex), but a simple emoji might. Use your judgement and gut on what looks "geometric" to you, there's no hard and fast rule. Hopefully the examples provided will help!
(Also, yes, every icon is contained within a 100x100 rectangle; the canvas alone doesn't count as a shape, but you can make it count if you define it as a shape by using borders of some sort).

NORMAL MODE: Make 5-20 icons fitting the general theme of geometry
HARD MODE: In addition to fitting the general theme, each icon should use or be inspired by one or more of the resources in this inspiration post
EXTRA HARD MODE: Each icon should contain a different shape or geometric element. Probably not doable for a full set of 20, but how many can you come up with?

 

Rules
+ Create 5-20 icons for the challenge.
+ Icons must fit DW standards (100x100px, gif/jpg/png format, 100kb or less)
+ All icons must be new and made specifically for the challenge
+ Post either a link to your icon journal post, or post the icons directly to this community (in a new post)
+ Each entry should have three example icons before the link or the cut
+ If linking to your icon journal, the post must be public at least until the end of the challenge.
+ Use title Round 19: yourname
+ Use tags maker: yourname, round: 19
+ Please make an effort to look at and to leave comments to other participants' posts
+ Deadline: October 31st 22:00 UTC+3 (COUNTDOWN)

Can a shape be used in only one icon for extra hard mode? For example, if I have a circle in one icon and a circle and a rectangle in another, would they both count for extra hard mode?

Hello! So sorry for the late reply. yes, as long as each one also has a different shape :)
