Spotify Busticons

An idea I explored for the Spotify genres iconset, but rejected early on were ‘busts’ (busticons if you will). They were too restrictive, and not immediately obvious. These ones were:

Gene Simmons (KISS) = Rock
Redfoo (LMFAO) = Party
Michael Jackson = Pop
…and a generic ‘Workout lady’
