# Chip Icon Design Brief ## Project Context The "Chip" icon is being developed for the Deck & Dock Helper app. "Chip" is an AI assistant that supports deck contractors and clients throughout the design, communication, and construction process. ## Goal Develop a simple, bold, and approachable icon representing "Chip" that will appeal to the app's target audience — owners of contracting firms and tradespeople (apprentices, journeymen, and master tradesmen). The icon must be highly legible, versatile across different app sizes, and in line with DDH brand aesthetics. ## Visual Concept * **Character**: A faceless, generic figure akin to a "Men's Room" icon, rendered in bold line art with blocky shapes and rounded arcs. * **Posture**: The "workman pose": legs slightly apart, fists resting on hips. * **Attire**: Wearing overalls with "CHIP" across the chest (bold, Anton-style font), and a construction hard hat. ## Color Palette * Main DDH Brand Colors: Teal (#459397), Tan (#f5f1ec), and Brown (#582512). * Usage: * Outline and fills exclusively utilize these brand colors. * Avoid black or generic grays. * Maintain high contrast for readability at small sizes. ## Variations Proposed 1. **Outline Only Version**: Teal lines, hard hat and overalls filled. 2. **Two-Tone Version**: Teal outline, tan overalls, brown hard hat, bold "CHIP" across the chest. 3. **Solid Silhouette Version**: All teal silhouette with "CHIP" reversed out in white. 4. **Badge Version**: Similar design enclosed in See more
