Here is my new submission #45 Icon represent two people, one is in the negative and one is in the positive sphere, and it have symbolic meaning: I quote you: " person walking along side another to help them through difficult life situations" Green line representing hug and can also representing hill.
I really like the design and your explanation of it, but at first glance it also kind of looks like a frown face :( Anyway you could include some more human like characters?
