How would you illustrate the word "Design"

Was writing anothe blog post, and I was struggling to find the right glyph for design. We all know design is not just how it looks but also how it works, and how it feels. But ultimately if you're visually showing design, the representation for the graphics are a bit restricted.

Take these two examples here. One is more direct, but too restrictive. It boxes design into visual design, and frankly its offensive to me as a designer, who hardly ever wants to a "paint job" on the designs. The other one on the other hand is a bit too abstract, and doesn't clearly show design; which is ironic.

Just two explorations, wonder how else design can be represented, visually.
