Laundry symbols make no sense

So I redesigned them, with all due respect.

Never paid attention to those laundry symbols? You should. Not only
do they save clothes, but they are also elegant and beautiful. The
design (at least a version of it) is produced by GINETEX, a
France-based association in the 70s. Thanks to the superior
craftsmanship that goes into each icon, it aesthetically holds up
half a century later.
