^shopping bags maybe, with those items sticking out?

I think the playground-sign is a little gloomy…like this is how Chernobyl looks now - deserted. Maybe you could not be so detailed about the chains? And i really really think you should add a child. Try Harder.

The image needs to be reconisable to some one driving past in a car and as I said before I tried adding a kid in it but there was to much info and to hard to make it reconisable in a b&w image. I like to think that people would go, Swing = Playground. Not, Swing - child may equal kidnapping/gloom.

Thanks for the critique I’ll definetly fix those chains up

Here’s my image for **Dentist**

the + is more first-aidish if you ask me. dental doesn’t really fit in. i would try a big tooth with better ridges.

as for the groceries, i like the bag with items sticking out idea. it’s kind of confusing now, especially the bread.
