I first saw some sort of owl/badge/shield shapes. Then I saw the lego. Nice effect. I think it is strongest when the symbol is darker than the background, because it suggests a more expected light source from above.

Thanks all, for the comments! Appreciate the gallery spot too!
@Luma Thanks for the comment, you are exactly right, in this presentation where the background is darker it does slightly diminish the suggestion of a light source and it makes you see the symbol differently. The use of the symbol on the back of that business card mock up I included better conveys that. I might update the images here to better convey this. The guy I did this for is still creating his brand (he's a designer too) and so it's all fluid yet. I appreciate your comments!
