I went ahead and did some of the modifications I was expecting to do. Though I'm still attempting to hand-write my own, I changed the typeface to a much thinner one that corresponds more with both, the country itself and the way the type contrasts with the thick icons. I also fixed up the icons themselves by making them nice and clean, with more graceful and smoother curves. However, some parts of the icons have some rough and sharp edges, like in Budapest and Pecs. I did this not only to make the icons truly unique from one another, but also to demonstrate that the details the monument itself contains are a significant part of it and are the only way you would be able to compare them from an illustration to the monument in-person . The monument of independence in Budapest is a statue of a woman holding a large leaf. In the Hero's Square monument of Pecs we see Archangel Gabriel and I really wanted to emphasize this by illustrating the feathers and curves on his wings. I still have a bit of work to do.
