Hi all!

I just published a new package: [elm-hash-icon](http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/Zinggi/elm-hash-icon/latest).

![logo](https://github.com/Zinggi/elm-hash-icon/raw/master/examples/imgs/hashOfElm.svg?sanitize=true)

It provides a function to generate icons from strings. It’s like a visual hash function.  
E.g, the icons above were generated using `iconsFromString 120 3.0 5 "Elm"`.  
Also check out the **[demo](https://zinggi.github.io/randomDemos/other/elmHashIcon.html)**!

I just pushed version [2.0.1](http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/Zinggi/elm-hash-icon/2.0.1).  
It no longer includes brands in the generated icons by default.  
It also added some more icons.

I noticed that my demo just crashed on chrome.  
Seems like I’ve run into [elm-compiler/#1521](https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/1521).  
Version [2.0.2](http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/Zinggi/elm-hash-icon/2.0.2) fixes it.
