This is a small sample of the sketches I did for the final icon. It was a process where I learned a lot about the various habits of the crossword obsessed. One example would be the proverbial Crossword Moment, reflected in some of the conjuring concepts. We settled on a kind of coat of arms. The final icon reflects one of the fundamental crossword litmus tests: Pen or Pencil?

Hey John,
I REALLY like the thumbnails that you have made for this project. Many of them are really cool. This would be such a cool assignment to have in class, lol!

My favorite sketch is the pencil piercing the newspaper. good job.
Thanks De and Carlee
C, did you notice the pencil and paper make an X ?
Clever!
I did, J! and it is quite clever. X-word.
Pen. Definitely pen. Especially ball point as it writes so nicely on newsprint. Pencils are for sissies.
Yes, the pen people are the most vocal too. Pencils are just ashamed.
fun solution!
How fun! I love the result.
If I were you, I would have considered this a nifty excuse to rent (again) the documentary "Wordplay" as research.
