Hello, I would suggest that you try the method called braindrawing which is a visual type of brainstorming. Here are the basic instructions:
1. Each member of a group is invited to explore solutions to a visual problem statement by sketching solutions for a designed period of time. 2. The sketches are passed on to another person. 3. The second person then enhances or adds something to the sketch or creates a new sketch and then passes all the sketches on a page to yet another person. 4. The process is repeated for several iterations. For example, you might do five iterations of braindrawing with the first iteration lasting 10 minutes (the first person has a blank page and might need more time to get started) followed by four, five-minute enhancement iterations. 5. At the end of a braindrawing session, all the sketches created by the group are posted in an "art gallery" where colleagues and participants in the braindrawing session can review the sketches and discuss which ideas should be considered further. 6. The post-braindrawing discussion should be recorded. The group can vote on the best ideas and then prioritize them further at the end of the session or at a separate session. The ideas can also evaluated by a different group. This is a simple technique which can generate many ideas. The second approach is to brainstorming metaphors associated with cold, the process of getting colder, etc and then brainstorming images that go with the various metaphors. After you generate the list, you can apply various criteria (international acceptability, fit with current icons, complexity, etc.). If you don't have a copy, I would highly recommend William Horton's "The Icon Book" (which may be out of print) as the definitive guide on principles for icon design. The appendix to the book also has a list of icons that can be to simulate ideas.
