Word Association: Let's Get Creative!

People of SoSa, I need your help! At the moment I have a project underway in which I need to create some unique fonts and some small artwork for them. Unfortunately, I tend to get terrible creative block when it comes to these kinds of things so I want to hear your thoughts. All I'm looking for is anything that comes to mind (shapes, colors, types of lines, etc.) with the following words/phrases (and one emoticon): Rush, 1 AM, "E>," and Wasted.

Remember: There are no wrong answers.
