WIP- Compose for Business Icon

Working on the compose icon for the Hall App on iOS. Hall enables you to communicate cross company, with your coworkers, vendors and clients. We would like to maintain a clean and professional look for companies. We arrived on a compose icon that incorporated the visage of the monte blanc pen floating above a curled piece of paper.

Story behind the pen:
My father was a broker, and I remembered while growing up that he always kept a Monte Blanc pen in his jacket. I can still remember its piano black finish, gold trim and white star at the top. It stood as a symbol for him, a gift given to him by his father. A many important documents were signed with his pen, from birth certifications, citizenship documents, mortgages, and employment and court documents. He still wears and uses this pen today, and throughout all the ups and downs of the economy like the pen, he continues to work hard in business at 65 years old.
