-## 👋 Thanks for suggesting a new icon!

-## ✅ Request checklist
-Help us keep things organized by confirming the following:
-
-- [ ] This request is **not** for a brand or logo (those follow a different request flow)  
-- [ ] This request is for a **single, clear concept** (or a matched pair like `lock` / `unlock`)  
-- [ ] I’ve included references *or* the concept is easy to visualize  
-- [ ] I searched existing Discussions/Issues to avoid duplicates  
-- [ ] I understand how icon requests work and what makes one more likely to be accepted
