Contest $100 Contest: UI Button Art

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by shinestream, Jan 14, 2013.

    The above photo is the rough idea but we are hoping for a sexier design.

    Professional looking buttons that venture more on the cute side than generic side without being too kiddy or cartooney. Also remember, the set should feel consistent.

    Full set:
    number pad: background and buttons {1-9, 0 with plus, pound star, send message, add contact, call user, delete, hide number pad}
    tabbar icons: dialer, address book, message inbox, extended network, personal preferences/settings
    icons: sent, received, missed calls

    original concepts (feel free to go with this or make something better):
    dialer icon - an old school phone with the base being a square number pad
    personal preference/settings icon - a gear with a user inside

    the tabbar should proably have a black background color (like the iOS black tabbar), which is not what we currently have
    file format should be png
    icons must be comptable with ios (and apple's tabbar design)
    unhighlighted is white, highlighted is orange
    bonus points for providing both ios and android compatible icons

    You may submit multiple design sets

    Will pay via paypal, looking to have something by tomorrow. Cheers!

    The overall look definitely looks nicer, although I'm not sure if the design was able to capture the "cute" essence that was mentioned.

    Also, we were really looking to change icons 1 and 4. We had envisioned icon 1 to be similar to what exists now but for the base to be a numberpad art. Icon 4 is supposed to represent something like extended network, or circles, or something along that line. We do not like the current icon that we have.

    the envelope icon is better with the change in outlining, but it seems like it is oversized compared to the rest of the icons.
    icon 5 was also improved with the slight change in shape

    Here is my design . It is a simple and clean design. The colors are not disturbing for the eyes.
    Please feedback. Thank you.

    MouseCat - still like yours the best so far, but a couple of suggestions.

    - still likes the top bar from the 1st design better, but the "2 lines" rather than the arrows for hide/expand
    - try having the dialing section all the way across with the backspace inside the section
    - remove the orange outline from the new keypad
    - separate out the "call icon" and make bigger
    - like the 2nd and 5th icon from 1st design
    - 4th icon instead of "screens" make more like "business cards" in the circle
    - 1st icon: Phone Handle like the first design but with num pad

    Thanks everyone for your submission to the post as well as to my pm, but I would like to close off the main portion of the contest and announce MouseCat as the winner.

    BUT I'd like to add a $10 bonus to anyone who can produce the best (at my discretion) icon for the 1st tab. "Only numpad below a phone handle (without the phone)"


    MouseCat -Couple more things:
    - backspace inside dialing section ie. [ < ]
    - Make top bar thinner
    - Remove the line above tab bar
    - 3rd and 4th tab switch places
