Page 1 of the PDF shows a few examples of epicyclic gears from around the web and Page 2 shows a simplified epicyclic gear we created in a triangular configuration. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">Page 3 shows some of the more illustratively complex ideas for icons, although you’ll noticed detail can get lost at small sizes. Page 4 shows some additional variations and configurations of the triangular epicyclic gear idea. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">Pages 5 and 6 are mostly there to show how some of the icons can work beside the name, although we haven’t really dug into typography yet. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">I’d love to get your thoughts on this stuff and see if you’d be interested in pursuing any of these ideas further.
