Thank you, Anonymous. I am not sure that I have understood. I think you are talking about a evolving design in which you set a goal, try a few strategies, and develop upon those that look most promising. But I am uncertain about how this relates to the creation of a symbol.
While learning calligraphy, there's a initial phase where you learn a typeset, and learn to control your pen, then try to imitate as much as possible the original calligraphy. But then, once mastered, it comes a phase where you personalize the scripture to your liking, because the things that worked best for other people might not work best for you. The result is a much better writting than what I had before, and still I can recognize the writting as mine.
