I need an icon for a spell-checking/dictionary application that I am developing for the iphone. This contest ends in 48 hours. The icons need to be in 2 resolutions: 57x57 and 512x512.
m3l1ssh4 - Your icon is too busy. I'm looking for something that is more simple. dimitri123 (submitted via PM). Your entry looks good. I would lose the shine. The iPhone adds a shine effect to the icons. Guys, I want something simpler. Something along the lines of the last 3 icons at http://forums.mactalk.com.au/14/39201-ipod-touch-iphone-application-icons.html
I had already started working on this before I saw your newest post so I hope this is ok. I spent a lot of time on this one so I'm gonna post it anyway If you like it but you want it simpler, I can take just the magnifying glass with 'ABC' and put it on a glossy button like the ones you just mentioned. Any feedback is always appreciated, thanks.
please wait for my entry. I dont have time now but i have an idea for this and will be able to di it this afternoon.
polycode - Yes, stick the magnifying glass onto a background and show me what it looks like. Alternatively stick the entire thing onto a background so I can see what it looks like. sorukayde - That is too simple. I could do that myself in 5 minutes.
Just to be fair to everyone. Here is dmitry123's entry and this is my current favorite. Also, my competitor's icon, which I am not fond of, looks like this:
Sorukayde - I like rev 3 better. I dont like the red circle though. See if you can come up with something else. Polycode - I need the icons to have more contrast and smooth clean lines. See some of the icons here for inspiration: http://theappleblog.com/2008/12/03/12-twitter-apps-for-the-iphone/
... Ill scrap that version then since there are only so many different things you can do with it and polycode has the magnifying glass one covered too. New version: and the red one with reflection
Here are some colour tests. If you like any of the colours I can tweak it to look better, just I designed the icons to be silver since that's common for iPhone icons and I thought you would like it ^_^ Once I know what colours you like I can go through the process of refining each one.
sorukayde - This looks better. There are other things you could do. You could do something abstract like the icon for this app http://www.ispell.it/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ispellit_512_512.jpg polycode - Your icons looked washed out. I want richer colors. (I like the dark shade of blue among the colors you have)
