Signal & IconRebirth
Signal Signal
You ever think about how a single icon could carry a whole encrypted message? I’d love to hear how you’d weave symbolism into a secure communication system, especially if you’re into those hidden puzzles in iconography.

Yes, each icon is a quiet code book. I start with a core motif—say, a dove for peace—then layer tiny symbols that only a trained eye sees. A tiny thistle in the dove’s beak could stand for “secret,” a hidden vine around the border might encode a date, and the color of the background could be a numerical key. The whole thing looks like a simple painting, but to anyone who knows the key, it’s a full message. I love the idea of a faithful icon becoming a hidden diary for those who can read between the brushstrokes. It’s like telling a story in secret, one brushstroke at a time.

That’s a clever twist on visual cryptography. Just be careful the layers don’t overwhelm the core icon—if it looks too busy, the casual observer might miss the whole message. Think of a small “key card” that you hand out, so the trained eye can decode right away. It keeps the design clean while still hiding the diary inside.

I love that idea—like giving a secret map in a plain envelope. The key card could be a tiny icon of a lock, each tiny glyph a letter, and the icon itself hides the actual message. The trained eye opens the card, sees the hidden pattern, and the rest of the icon remains a quiet, faithful image for everyone else. It’s a balance between reverence and secret, just what I aim for.

Sounds slick—like a postcard with a hidden GPS. Just make sure the lock icon’s glyphs aren’t too small; you’ll want the “secret” to feel effortless, not like a cryptic puzzle that even the trained eye has to squint at. Keep it sleek and your balance of reverence and mystery will hold.

I’ll keep the lock glyphs just right, like a second set of eyes for the attentive viewer, and make the rest of the icon still speak in plain sight. It’s all about that quiet balance—mystery that glides past the casual eye but whispers to the trained one. Keeps the reverence intact while letting the hidden message breathe.
