Four wordmarks transform into classic tales through letterform silhouettes

A 2x2 grid of monochrome wordmarks where each word's silhouette forms a story object, letters serving as structural parts with minimal added shapes.

Prompt

2x2 grid, 16:9, do this for 4 non-copyrighted stories parents tell their children: R₁  SELF‑DESCRIBING SILHOUETTE (master)   the whole wordmark's outer silhouette reads as the object/concept the word        denotes (key, arrow, book…), not as letters in a row.   ¬R₁ = plain wordmark / object drawn beside the word. R₂  LETTER→COMPONENT MAPPING   each letter is placed/deformed to serve as a component of the object (K→bit, E→shaft,       Y→bow); reading order preserved along the object's axis; letters stay legible.   ¬R₂ = letters not serving components / illegible / scrambled order. R₃  MINIMAL DRAWN COMPLETION   only minimal drawn elements (loops, connectors, collars) are added where letters alone       can't complete the object; added shapes share the letterform style (weight, serifs).   ¬R₃ = heavy illustration / added shapes in a foreign style / object mostly drawn. R₄  MONOCHROME FLAT VECTOR   single ink on neutral ground; flat; no gradient/outline/texture/3D; logo‑mark cleanliness;       scalable.   ¬R₄ = color / gradient / texture / 3D. R₅  DUAL‑READ COHERENCE   reads as the WORD and as the OBJECT at a glance; one connected mark.   ¬R₅ = readings fight / disconnected / only one reading works. η   HONEST MARK   consistent stroke weight, letterform/serif integrity, balanced negative space. FORBIDDEN = object beside word · letters not serving components · illegible · heavy illustration · foreign‑style additions · color · gradient · disconnected · single reading
