Contest 48 hour ios app icon contest $75 prize

I am making a free ios app which displays the latest rates from the ECB (european central bank) and need an icon urgently.

You dont necessarily need ios gui experience but knowledge of how ios icons work and their formats for ios would be good. For example, when we submit to app store we have to include a 1024x1024px icon in transparent png format for retina devices, so you will need to give me the final artwork in .AI format so that I can output this.

Please dont PM me with designs, its troublesome to monitor the contest entries using PM's. Please just post the entries here.

Scope
- The app is to do with currency and finance so maybe something with currency sign(s) or charts....but i leave it to your imagination
- gold colours??
- The app is called ECB Reference Rates but dont think we can fit all of that onto the icon
- When someone looks at the icon on the iphone, they should immediately associate it with currency rates..again use your imagination.
- You cannot use jpeg or clipart, the icon needs to be in vector format and look okay at any size

Deliverables
- will need to be in .ai (Illustrator) format in order that I can resize it to 1024 x 1024 for retina.

Closing date of Contest
Sunday 16th of September 2012 - 1400 GMT

Payment
Winner will be paid via paypal immediately after being chosen.

 

Will you accept High quality PSD?

 

As long as its vector format, but I think from PSD you can output to .ai?

Very important that its .ai format for me.

 

No PSD can't be vector. Its okay

 

You can convert .png (made in PS) to vector by Live trace method.

Submitting my entry soon..

Hey Muddy,

I like your use of effects here. Very crisp and realistic. I also like that you have provided several variations. You have my vote on this one!

 

Hey Shadow,

Very nice use of effects as well. I think it's a toss-up between you and Muddy. I like that you incorporated other currency symbols as well. I think the center graphic with the arrows tilted like the first image would be perfect.

Good luck!
