I'm not pushing anything, but I have a shutterstock.com account and I looked up some simplistic futuristic/hi-tech fish logos.

3 January 2026 @ 9:33 pm

This year has been an eventful one for cameraphones, carrying over the trend. Some manufacturers made huge strides when it comes to cameras, while others decided to focus on polishing their products.
