Iconic Animals by Phuong Tran Duy
When Graphic Designer, Phuong Tran Duy was playing around with triangles, she had an idea of abstract iconic animals. And so, she created her latest project - 'Colorful Illustrations of Iconic Animals'. The vector pack includes iconic vector animals such as: The leopard, the mouse, the worm, the bat, the giraffe, the turtle, the octopus, the fish, the pig, the owl, the hamster, and the bear. They are a mix between her clean - abstract style of illustration and fun pastel color scheme. The illustrations are applied on different items such as Protein shake mugs, cards, T-shirts, and bookmarks.
This is one of my personal projects that I really enjoy. I got bored of realistic, glossy, full of detail illustrations that I make for clients every day. I craved for something interesting but simple, flat, and abstract so I came up with this series. The project has been finished on design and mockups. My next step is to get them out as printed postcards, T-shirts, mugs, etc.

As I mentioned above, I enjoy abstract and irregular shapes. Experiencing different combinations and movements of shapes and their interaction with negative space has always been my free time hobby. An idea of abstract iconic animals popped up in my mind once I was playing around with triangles. The very first image looked more like a cat with ears and nose, I tried to make the object more specific and finally a leopard appeared. When the cat turned into leopard with just a bit of moving the triangles around, I came up with the idea of the other animals to develop the whole collection.

As my nature, I always have the urge to make abstract drawings. The idea for this series popped out while I was playing around on my sketches so there is actually no concrete inspiration behind this. However, these are certain artists who inspire me on the long way such as Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, and Gustav Klimt. "Free your mind."

Talented and unique!
Really cool design and yes, I want a sample of iconic animal designed T-shirt for my vacation! It is awesome and really look good.
You made my dream come true!
What can’t be done using just simple geometrical shapes? But when someone creates something beautiful with simple things, It requires a very creative mind like Phuong.
Simple yet beautiful. Job well done for this =D
Simple yet beautiful iconic animal! My favourite is the worm that is combined by different sizes of circle. Is "flat" a new trend for design in 2015?
Flat & minimalist styles have been trendy for several years, especially in digital field. Yet it is just not as common in Southest Asia market.
That's interesting.. do you know why?
Is it just not popular or do they not actually like it?
