The type is just as important as any icon in these compositions. It is pointing to whatever you put in the middle of that composition; it's the label, the signifier. One could try a number of different icons in that space and probably not lose too much meaning. I would argue that these are not distilled down to a single image.

I was thinking of something else entirely. And sorry to say but I dno't think much of those designs either. Not sure why, but they just don't appeal to me.
