Round 60: On a Technicality

[sietepecados]

One year ago we had a cropping round, so this time I tought that we could repeat it with "technical themes". So this time you have to flex your creative muscles and make some technical icons! You can pick one style, few technical themes or make a set with all of them.

Rules:
Anyone may participate. There are no sign-up posts or claims.
✅ You may submit a set of 5 to 20 icons.
⭕ Post your icons in a new post. This may be in this community or in a public post in your own icon journal/community, but make a post in this community with a link to the post.
✅ When posting, leave three icons outside the cut/link. The subject should be, "#60: [your username]".
⭕ Please tag your post, "round: 60" and "user: [your username]". If you don't have a tag, I will take care of it.
✅ All icons are due by 11:59pm CET on MAY 31st.
⭕ You can alway suggest an inspiration idea HERE
✅ Please use the textarea below when posting your icons.
<textarea> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> <img src=""> </*textarea>
*remember to remove the star in the closing code for it to work!

hah I was just thinking about trying some multiple cap icons today!

[sietepecados]

Hahaham then I have the perfect timing :)

[tinny]

Ooooh, awesome! Thanks for using one of my icons in the examples. <3

There are some techniques in there that I haven't seen used often, and I'll be sure to try those out!

[sietepecados]

I'm glad that you found something for you :)

[abyss_valkyrie]

How cool!I love this!Thanks for having my icons in the inspo!

[sietepecados]

I'm happy you like this theme!

Ph wow, love this. Some of my favorite prompts. It's icon anything for this round with one prompt for all icons? And how we can do up to 20?

[sietepecados]

I'm glad you like it. You can use as many prompts as you like. You can make 5 to 20 icons with just matching background, for example, or you can make two sets of all 10 prompts. Also you can make anything in between - as many prompts as you like (you can go for 3 prompts and make a set of 5 icons, or 20 icons) - in all honesty after the 10 techniques it got hard for me to make up more (or find as many examples), and I have a few "technical themes" for some of the future inspo ideas :) Hope this helps.

[themeparks]

Thank you. I would so do 5 of all prompts to be honest lol. :)

I'm so glad you put that sailor mars icon here. It's one of my old ones that I couldn't get back because of Photobucket becoming a paid service! I lost so many icons because of that.
