Pictograms: Tweaking and Sqeaking

Next up: Color tweaking and making sure the weight is balanced.

I decided that the map was fine the way it was, so this only applies to the globe and the GPS.

The globe was the easy one of the two.  During our critique, it came to my attention that in the black and white version, all the weight was on the bottom, and the actual globe part was lost when viewed from far away. So, I made the land masses black. Problem solved.  I didn't translate that into the little ones, which were having their own issues because the stroke weight was becoming distorted the smaller it became.

So, this blasted GPS (technology is wonderful) was my next project to tackle.  The color scheme was all wrong, and as I mentioned earlier didn't mesh with the other two. So I spent an entire evening in the computer lab solely devoted to resolving this little snag.  I tried many different color combinations, until I found one that wasn't completely awful. Voila! I knew it still wasn't right, but there wasn't anything to be done about it at that point.
