Trying to do an icon to represent a factory, and the nearest one I'm come across is the old Factory Records one ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Factory_records.jpg )

Anyone know of any other 'symbols' that could be used to represent a factory as the Factory Records one is so blatently obvious and simple, if I copy it, people are gonna know it's not an original idea!

LOL - sorry, couldn't resist ;)

Yeah seriously, I'd appreciate the help. There are millions of icons out there, if I narrow a search down to, say, factory or industry, then I get back things like spanners, workmens helmets, hammers, etc but nothing to say "Ahhh, that's a factory"

Was thinking of something like a big chimney, but a large black cylinder hardly represents what I'm after.

Like I said, the Factory Records one is so simple it's fantastic.
 
A quick one on photoshop

EDIT: do you want any colours, shapes etc?
 
Ahhh nice one Kizz (the smoke is perfect - simple, not complicated, does the job spot on!)

Only thing I'd prefer is the roof lower, other than that, no colour, just plane old black on white please.
 
The "lowness" of Zefan's, plus the "widthness" (?) of Kizz's is gonna be absolutely perfect.

Cheers guys for the help, really really appreciate it.

Just need your permission to use them now! :)
