I went with the 'or more' option, obviously. And some of them look very similar, because it seems I can't even decide on which colour I like best. Wee bit of cheating as this is my prompt, but I suppose that's okay. I was actually quite upset when Chekhov died (in a fandom way, no Citizen Joe dramatics), and I grumbled about the writers holding on to a bit of lingering Cold War era sentiments ("Oh, he's just a Russian, we can kill him off..."). The Cold War has always meant to me (in hindsight, considering I was born a year before it 'ended') tension and stress and silence, which is what I tried to convey with the icons.

Caps from stargatecaps for icons 1 through 11, and the texture from 13 is from the late Magic Box.

Also, I just noticed that the lighting in 2 to 6 kinda looks like a heart. Totally unintentional... (Eeep! That's a lot of notes! Sorry.)
