Hexagon
After a lot of sketches, I decide to use the hexagon as the base shape for further approaches, because hexagon is also the outline of a cube in three dimension.
3D Mesh
It's a tough decision. They are all have some advantages to anothor. After 2 days for concideration, We picked up the one that has concepts of combination and storm motion-shape. It'll make people easily connect the icon to 3D industry and Galaxy.
Colors
Despite the material color is just orange, there are so many colors in the image affected by lights while 3D rendering. We first pick up two colors in every face, then summarize they into 5 main colors as below.
