01. Oh Crap
The moment at which a character realizes that they are completely and totally screwed. They may not always say anything in particular, but even if they don't, their faces are usually priceless.

02. Consummate Professional
The Consummate Professional is most often a very serious character, involved in a profession that warrants violence or is on the shadier side of the law like a soldier of fortune, professional spy, courier or professional killer. He can also belong to a more conventional profession, but be ruthlessly dedicated to it.

03. Deliberately Monochrome
Despite and because of its simplicity, complexity, stark contrast and cultural cachet, Black and White movies and stand-alone TV episodes have remained popular in a few genres and story niches that can pull it off without seeming pretentious.
(Note: Your icons must feature a monochromatic coloring or a limited palette)

04. Crop Circles
Crop circles are large geometric patterns that appear in fields of crops, usually corn (because cornfields are creepy), and are created by flattening the stalks in such a way that each individual one remains undamaged.
(Note: Your icons must feature one or more round shapes of some sort)
