I had been planning to do a series on items and places I find fascinating in Singapore. We create reviews so I thought that the icons would give a more cohesive look to our blog. My initial idea was to create some icons to use in my blog.
MIND MAP

I did some initial sketches on my notebook before working on my computer. I planned on making 5 badges:
- Food
- Drink
- Places
- Shopping
- Transportation

I prefer muted colors and our blog colors are grey, black and with a punch of yellow. I wanted to add a fourth accent color but I couldn't make the design look choesive.
The circle shape for the badge was hand drawn and then I traced it in Illustrator to give it handmade look.

I'm still thinking if I need to change the shape or tweek the badges so that I can add them to the side bar of my blog.
I'd appreciate any constructive feedback.
