Squarespace6 (Concept 2)

After attempting this contest the first time I didn't think it was the best from me, thought it was a bit too simple, so I tried to come up with some other ideas and this one struck me as one I could visually communicate.

The whole concept is about the universal symbolism and uses of six. So I brainstormed and of course used google and came up with icons for these:
- six flags (amusement park),
- double six (domino),
- dice,
- Sixth-sense (Extrasensory perception),
- hexagons (6 points),
- snowflakes (happens to have six points too),
- isosceles triangle (can fit nicely within itself six times),
- VI (Roman numerals),
- F (6th letter of the alphabet, also happens to be my intial & 6 is my favourite number! - weird I know)
- Benzene molecule (hexagonal)
- Jupiter (sixth planet of the solar system)
- Six Pointed Star (and the centre's shape is hexagonal)
- Ants (most insects have six legs)
- Mercury (Also called Virgo is the sixth sign in the zodiac)
- 6 Runs (The highest runs you can receive in cricket from a ball)

I enjoyed coming up with the concepts and doing research as I learned quite a bit. I had a few other ideas for symbols but didn't wanna get too crazy even though I kept asking myself if I'm insane for putting down all those icons.
