Four Decades as Flat Emblems with Negative Space Stories

A 2x2 grid of flat vector emblems, each a decade's iconic moment told through negative space and motion cues.

Prompt

2x2 grid, 16:9, do this for 4 famous decades: N₁  TYPE‑AS‑SILHOUETTE COMPONENT (master)   the word (arched/curved/deformed) forms part of the emblem's OUTER silhouette
      (the apple's crown/shoulders); the emblem reads as ONE closed shape that includes the type.
      ¬N₁ = type beside emblem / type not part of outline / emblem complete without the type.
N₂  NEGATIVE‑SPACE NARRATIVE   inside the emblem, a ground‑color channel/counter reveals a miniature scene of the
      subject's defining story/moment (the falling apple); the negative is narrative, not decoration.
      ¬N₂ = solid emblem / decorative negative / story unrelated to the subject.
N₃  MOTION/STATE CUE   the narrative carries cues of motion or state (motion lines, fall, spark, wave, overflow) so the
      moment reads as an EVENT, not an object.   ¬N₃ = static icon / no cue / cue detached from the scene.
N₄  FLAT LIMITED‑INK MARK   flat vector with limited inks (black type + one color body + ground as the negative); no
      gradient/outline/texture.   ¬N₄ = gradient / many inks / texture / photoreal.
N₅  SINGLE CLOSED READ + LEGIBILITY   the whole reads as one closed emblem at a glance AND the word stays legible; a small
      detail (stem+leaf, stopper, tail) completes the form.   ¬N₅ = two separate objects / illegible word / open shape.
η   HONEST MARK   clean vector edges, balanced negative channel, consistent mass between type and body.
FORBIDDEN = type beside emblem · solid emblem · decorative negative · no motion cue · gradient · many inks · two objects · illegible word
