CHALLENGE 049: Minimalism

We get the name February from the Latin word februum, meaning purification. The Roman Lupercalia festival was held around 15th February to ward off evil spirits and purify the city, thus releasing health and fertility, and is believed to have come from and earlier-origin spring cleansing ritual held on the same date, called Februa. [Thank you Wikipedia]

To honour this, we’re going to strip icons down to their purest of elements, and be as minimalist as possible! No fancy textures, no complex compositions or crazy text, just pure and simple icons.

You can use any caps between 15th January - 28th January to make your icons. These caps are included in the lj-cut in this post (hover for fandom). If you have any questions, please ask!
