Ok since I'm braindead this tuesdaymorning at the office, I could use some help!
I have to design 7 icons for a primary school, I already got 5...
(Algebra, Biology, group meeting, reading, drawing) --> they were simple!

Now I only need "wordgame" and "language game"...they have to be very basic, no details on the icons and no text (wich is hard for a word and language game icon)!

I'm not asking you to design something, just ideas...thanks in advance! Very Happy

if we see the previous icons you made maybe we could get an idea of what you are looking for, remember that the key to good design is to keep it simple yet classy. Mixing and matching icons don't look good when the project is finished, try to keep all the icons on the same basic style.

perhaps a simplified globe for the language one? something like this, maybe?

(lol that is from NASA's website. Very professional. Wink )

As for a wordgame, maybe a book?
