These references are really nice, however I'm looking to have a more minimalistic and simple style... what do you think of something like this?

dope design! u can even make it into a GIF, alternating the two with a smooth transition of rotating rays;

dope... look what you did!

when i zoom in, it seems as if the shield of light has a subtle pulsation to it, did u do that on purpose? amazing work
reply
No was the result of the rotation, it was stronger in the first try, I was able to reduce the effect and kept it as is now. I kinda like it, make it more "aliive"!
Should I try to remove it in full and keep the shield static/solid?
reply
the GIF is really good as is, i think the subtle pulsation will be perceived by the subconscious anyway, and u can always amplify it if u wish
