# LEGO Program Icons José María Muntané Reimaged Adobe Icons as LEGO Men and Bricks By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-07-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adobe-icons References: [designtaxi](http://www.designtaxi.com/news/387206/Adobe-Icons-Redesigned-As-LEGO-Bricks-And-Minifigures/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/netmunta) José María Muntané is a freelance creative web and graphic designer based in Barcelona, Spain, whose recent work includes an imaginative reinterpretation of the classic [Adobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adobe-acrobat) icons. Using [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat) men and bricks, José María Muntané uses the popular figures to represent the programs which are traditionally depicted with [colorful squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-teen-icons). The LEGO men do this by standing atop similar squares that show simplified versions of the program names, which the figures also wear on their torsos. Each is color-coded to make the designs more recognizable and easier to differentiate. The Adobe icons are translated into building block form in much of the same way as the LEGO men, with José María Muntané adorning its sides with the program name instead. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Legoization of Icons:** Opportunity for companies to use playful representations of traditional icons for branding and promotional purposes. - **Simplified Design:** Opportunity for companies to simplify their branding and graphic design to make it more recognizable and memorable. - **Nostalgia Marketing:** Opportunity for companies to tap into consumers' nostalgia and emotional connections by incorporating familiar cultural icons into their branding. ### Who This Affects Most - **Marketing and Advertising:** Using playful and simplified design elements can create a more memorable and effective marketing campaign. - **Graphic Design and Branding:** Companies can incorporate nostalgic and familiar cultural icons into their branding to create an emotional connection with consumers. - **Toy and Gaming Industry:** Companies can create licensed products and partnerships with cultural icons and brands to tap into consumers' nostalgia and emotional connections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Retro Space-Themed Puzzled Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Playful Brick-Born Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-lamps-1.md) - [Block Puzzle Modular Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept.md) - [Building Block PC Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clickbrick-lego-mouse.md) - [Retro Puzzle Block Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fan-build.md) - [AI Photo-to-Brick Converters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-photos.md)
