Modern Icon Logo Design

I need a sleek, modern logo built around a distinctive icon that instantly identifies my brand. Clean geometry, balanced negative space, and strong visual hierarchy are priorities; I’m aiming for something that feels fresh on a website header yet remains crystal-clear when reduced to a social-media avatar.

Here’s what I’ll be looking for:
• Original vector artwork delivered in AI, SVG, PDF, plus high-resolution PNGs with transparent background
• A concise style guide showing primary/secondary colors (CMYK & RGB) and the recommended typeface pairing
• At least two refined concept options with one round of revisions on the chosen direction

Please create everything in Adobe Illustrator (or an equivalent professional vector tool) so the files remain fully editable. Whitespace is welcome—minimalism is not a must, but the final icon should feel uncluttered and future-proof.

When you respond, tell me how you approach concept discovery and share one or two samples of prior modern icon work.
