Scott,
I am trying to get my arms around your request and need some additional
information.
* Is there desired dimensions for the icon(s)?
* What feeling or visual would you like the icon to inspire ( viz. drawing
) ?
* What is the intended purpose(s) ( viz. menu bar icon )?
* Is there a palette or suggested colors?
* Is there a deadline?
* Are there design choices that should be avoided ( viz. no pencils )?
* Where would you like submissions posted?
Kind regards,
John
