@autismempowered Maybe by
a) getting rid of the puzzle piece

c)....z) will be back later

@mythlfrythtyg Thanks for that it's very much appreciated. That's why on my logos I don't have a jigsaw piece missing I have the jigsaw pieces in different colours to represent the different way of thinking. Good point though and thank you again!

@mythlfrythtyg and as I'm autistic myself I don't hate it. But I do dislike the "missing jigsaw piece" symbol. Thanks again and do keep in touch!
