Activity #29: shapes, signs & symbols

[seraphina_snape]

Our favourite mod, tinny, is on holiday, so I'm going to be hosting this month's activity. Unfortunately it's a little early for Halloween ;P, so we're making icons featuring shapes, signs & symbols this month.

I don't have a snazzy activity graphic (I realized as I went to post this that tinny always has one), so you'll have to imagine a nice collage of symbols and other things in this place. :D

Shapes, signs and symbols are varied and feature in our everyday lives, even if we sometimes don't even notice. The human brain is wired to make connections and see meaning behind everything. How you interpret the theme for this month's activity is up to you. Shapes, signs & symbols can be general (like a thumbs-up or icons featuring geometric shapes of your choosing) or fandom-specific (like Captain America's Shield or The One Ring or the Impala in Supernatural, etc.). Maybe you want to adorn your icons with symbols (stars, &, hearts, !, smiley faces, arrows, etc.) or use colours to denote specific meanings (red = blood, green = calm, etc.), or go with astrological signs and make icons based on that. Feel free to interpret the theme however you want.

Some examples to give you a starting point:

[seraphina_snape]

Welcome back! I hope your holiday was relaxing! *g*

[sandy79]

No question, but thank you for using one of my icons <3

Oh, and one thing I noticed with another example: the user is called debris4spike ;)

[seraphina_snape]

It fits the theme to a T, especially with Steve using makeshift items as a shield - you can't get more symbolic than that. :D

Oh, thank you for noticing that! My only excuse is that I was distracted by this little one. *g*

[sandy79]

Ooh, what a lovely distraction!!

[seraphina_snape]

Any excuse to make some new Leverage icons:

[abyss_valkyrie]

Oh I like the use of variety! Definitely liking the queen one and the cool way you did the heartbeat and last one!Sticks and stones one is great!

[seraphina_snape]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making these! *g*

[tinny]

Sweeet! My fave is the queen (because yay yellow :)), I also like the two Sophies, and Parker with the question mark.

[seraphina_snape]

These are fantastic! I can't even pick a favourite because they're all so great! I love Castiel's wings though, and Charlie's crown. <3

[abyss_valkyrie]

I love the 1st one-perfection!!! <3
The Castiel one looks great and awww the car-it so represents SPN.Lol at the 3rd,Dean and his food. XD

[tinny]

Oh, wow, I love these. Haven't seen SPN icons in a while, and these are all awesome. I love the way you color coordinated the shapes with the images. My fave is Queen Charlie, but really they're all great I can't choose!

These are great - I love the colours! The Sherlock one is my favourite - it looks amazing!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Awww!Thank you!It was really different trying to use the symbols from the fandoms themselves and use in the icons,the Sherlock one was such a pleasure to make! XD

[fueschgast]

Ooh, these are all nice, but the Sherlock one is the coolest.
