Hercules is building new application of Hercules Field Tech. This app will contain links and information for the techs and will provide a dashboard with links to various systems and applications that they will use during their daily work.
This time we need to create some icons based on the provided device images to be more intuitive and represent each device on the Hercules Field Tech application.
Files included:

IMPORTANT!
- All icons must fit within the existing design theme of the Hercules Field Tech.
- All icons need to represent each device cleverly, so when users see the icon they can understand them at first glance.
- We've provided device images to help you figure out how the icons should look. See attached Design-Notes.pdf
