Description
Set of pokemon types.
Many are not terribly original...

-Posion: The Koffing symbol, also used in Puzzle League, pretty much everyone takes it as the unofficial symbol for poison.

-Ground: Although most use it as "Rock" since in the anime they called it the "rock field", I always thought it was more fitting for ground. It looks like a Mesa or a plateau.

-Rock: A rock. Like the boulder badge. Very literal, very mundane... like a rock

-Dragon: Ran with the good idea Emily Ikeda used for the Dragonzord symbol/dragon claw theme. Before I saw her work I was trying a skinnier, Skyrim-like dragon claw symbol. When I saw the Dragonzord symbol used, it was just love, so i tweeked it a bit till it looked like it would fit with the rest of the symbols and not so literal like a claw.. I like the shapes I ended up because it looks almost like a set of scales as well.

I hate the official symbol... so I decided to make my own

-Ghost: Still not final... but I like how this one looks with the rest of the symbols... you can see my previous submission to see other directions and ideas I had for this type.

-Flying: Tried the feathers, wings, etc patterns... but I didnt really like them. Flying has a certain mystique for me, so I wanted the icon to be a bit more indirect. Also, not all pokemon that fly have wings, much less feathers... so I picked a cloud to represent the sky in general.

-Ice: Not much to say. Kept doing patterns and rotating it till i liked what I got.

-Bug: Originally I only had the 3 honeycomb shapes, but it lacked personality. I toyed with it and I got this look. The pointy and shap edges mixed with the finer lines give a feeling of flakyness, the kind of texture and shake I think of when thinking of bugs... antennae and flaky wings and exoskeletons

I kind of want to explore Rock and Ground a bit more... might play with Posion also (I feel like these 3 I had to go this way... but I want to mess around some more)

I want to re-do Fairy as well. They gave us no time to play with it before they released the official energy!!!

Also trying to look at the floor in the room where you fight the champion in X and Y... there is a circle with a whole lot of new symbols per type... the ghost looks like a purple flame with a half moon inside, poison like purple bubbles... they look good... I hope someone gets to rip that texture soon cause you can barely see it in-game
