Monogram Development: From Start to Finish

Below is a screenshot of most of the iterations I have created since assigned to make a monogram for the symbol iron, who's abbreviation is Fe.

Towards the end of the process, we picked out and edited out final monogram. At one point, we then made the symbol a gif file to act as a liked button on a website. Then, I experimented with color to emphasize the "feel" of iron. Last, I thought it would be more defining to mask an image of rust iron onto the monogram.
