Hug Design Ideas
Hello Experts,
I'm looking for some ideas for creating a symbol/icon that represents a "Hug". I'm using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop but I'm running into a brick wall for ideas :(
Any ideas are welcome, I'm also a beginner to Illustrator so take it easy on me with big Illustrator words :)

I'm not worried about an image but perhaps a symbol that represents a "Hug". I seen so far that a "Hug" represents the following below when people send it in a text but not sure people will reference that as a "Hug" symbol.

No point trying to make your own up when the emoticon ones are widely known.

Of course, I am a left brainer but my right brained friends tell me it is not the software that makes the design, it is the your thoughts. Put down the keyboard and start sketching ideas on paper.
It's not always easy as you think. You might try iStockphoto for inspiration. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-5891115-partners-couples-icons.php?st=b202a8d
Once you get your sketch the way you like it, then go back to the keyboard.
Keep in mind what you may need for print will be completely different then web. My right brain friends also tell me to get your graphic looking good in one color before you start adding color. I have seen people use those freelance sites where the "designers" do what the client wants rather then what is best and end up with a full color graphic that can not stand on it's own.

All,
I found a font that represents the persons color they like, personality, and etc.. So I think I'm just going to use there name in a font that I found as their logo instead of an actually logo itself.

Sounds good, please remember to close your question /delete it if you like
