Exclamation Re: Ukraine 2021(?)

This is an example of how an idea progresses.

I tried a slightly different version based on the "Ukraine since 2014" sign Blazoes posted



Rather than use 1,2,3,4 which only ever represented a general idea of the quantity of mines in a hex, not their actual number this just includes a bar scale at the top to indicate density

The one issue I have with them is how much of the hex the triangular version occupied

So I tried a square version



I still felt it was too large and it was the word MINES that was making it that way so tried and even more minimalist version



and that lead to this which is even smaller



which lead back to a yellow alternative



.........and that lead back to an alternate yellow triangle which brings us back to size



Then we get to three versions of full minimalist



But with full minimalist the word MINES can be added back



and yet another..... it works for summer and winter which means it will work for desert too



AND FINALLY.............
A revised version on the right, of the first one with the first attempt on the left



it's a bit smaller than the sixth one....a couple of pixels makes a big difference sometimes at this scale

...and in red



Feedback welcome
