With this logo, I wanted to capture the game of rock paper scissors in a nutshell. It was challenging to boil down the concept of "rock" into something simple as an icon without it reading as a ubiquitous blob, but then I recalled that people often refer to cut diamonds as rocks (as well as many other gemstones) and the rest of the design fell into place.

The rules of the game itself are demonstrated in the composition with scissors ranking over paper, and paper over rock. Rock might be at the bottom, but the scissors are contained within and are totally owned by it.

The composition works in black and white, as a single color print, and lends itself well to seasonal variations in gradient and other design techniques. The design also works on both light and dark backgrounds. It reads well as an iOS or Android Icon. Pacatum Inc would have all of their design needs covered if they went with this logo.
