I wanted to just mess with things a bit before bed and I’ve been running low on time to actually contribute. Ended up with something I at least found interesting. It’s very rough as I haven’t bothered to make sure things are even and what not. Colors also a bit bright but I need sleep and I don’t feel like looking up material design color palettes.
It could also probably use some tweaking so it looks more like a lightning bolt and maybe less like a crooked N or Z or something.

like it.
as you wrote looks like a N or Z and no Ls.
the Ls look like a block with a kind of reflection.
but i really like it very much.

Doesn’t look like Ls at all.
I don’t like the idea of turning one L upside down in general.

Actually not meant to look like L’s. Initially that’s what Gerd did but I was just messing with his design a bit and this is more to represent a lightning bolt. Like I said though I need to tweak the proportions a bit though but was lacking sleep at the time lol

This one is visually pleasing, I really like it, but it also looks like a N to me, not exactly a bolt. The orientation is an interesting idea though: it brings some “dynamism” in a square shape and avoid the icon to be too blocky.

Ya it really does lol. I spend a second before heading to work trying to adjust it from what I had but I may need to attempt to create it from scratch and work with the ratios a bit.

But really, keep this icon somewhere for some project, it is good.
