LDS Scriptures Focus | iOS App Icon

This icon is for an iOS app called LDS Scriptures Focus by LDS Mobile Apps LLC. I wanted to create a simple, recognizable, iconic representation of the gold plates from which the text of the Book of Mormon was translated. Typically, the gold plates are illustrated from a side view, showing the arch of the rings binding the plates. I thought a top-down view might be interesting. More than other possible imagery, I felt like gold plates best represented the concept of LDS Scriptures. Inspiration provided by the icon for the Google Fit app.
