#5Can't stand when logos and icons fail to illustrate anything. Take for example this [1] Moving Brand's mock from a Mojo Networks redesign. The icons don't tell you a thing. Two circles for connectivity? 4 half circles for WLAN? Plain text would be less cluttered and less confusing.

Another human activity where avant-garde is fully indistinguishable from straight parody. Such a world we live in.
The takeaway should be to keep some sane garde-fou principle, such as "form follows function", and use it as unit test before rolling out a design/product/...

#7I have been inspired to change my company logo to a 64x63px transparent png.
The 64 pixel height represents technology.
The 63 pixel width demonstrates that there's always one more pixel to go.
Transparent because said company does not actually exist, except as bits on a computer.

I love it. I find the color rgba(52,165,255,0) works really well in transparent form.

I'm not a designer and I mostly fail to have a designer's eye for such things. But here the icons seem really clear:
security - a stylized lock. connectivity - linked members of a chain, which are connected. WLAN - expanding circes of a radiowave login - a human head on an upper body
All which exist as icons for decades in other UI. In this case there seems to be a design constraint of only using circles, semicircles and quartercircles. That fails most in case of the Wifi Symbol which needs concentric rings. Here those are just simulated. And the metaphor of chain links for connectivity strains. But that was also the case when it stands for hyperlink.
