These icons show the use of shadow in a flat design, they show a vast variety of colors while keeping colors to a minimum. These icons also do a great job of giving many images with such a simple minimalistic style. These remind me a lot of emojis and the more I have thought about it the more I think that emojis could have originated from flat design. I think this is a new addition to my overall theme, the use of icons, and emojis to give a simplistic picture for the topic.
