* Context – iFixit.com needs a new icon. We currently have 4 main content sections: Parts Store, Repair, Teardown, and Discuss. We are transforming our ‘Discuss’ section into an ‘Answers’ section. We need an ‘Answers’ icon to fit with our existing set of icons.
We are looking for a unique icon that communicates: Expertise, Solutions, DIY, Community, Collaboration, and Repair.
