Hi Winslow,

Yes, I agree, #127 looks like oil drums. But the border is cool and that's what got my attention. The inside definitely needs to change.

Thanks,

Brendan

#127 is looking mighty interesting to me right now. With some modifications it could be a contender.

Thanks,

Brendan

So far I really like the submissions by Hezral and Webad. #123 and #118 are my favourites so far. It's going to get difficult to pick a winner!

Hi everyone,

In the article to the iPhone app icon best practices, pay particular attention to the Details section. Some of those icons have incredible details and shading. You know what they say... "the devil is in the details". Every pixel in this icon should be slaved over to make perfect. Well, perhaps that's the next step after I pick a winner. :-)

Thanks,

Brendan

Hello Designers,

If you haven't already read it, here's a good article on best practices for iPhone app icon design:

AshokJingar, There was no gloss on #5. It has a nice metallic sheen to the border which I like. The gloss I'm talking about that I don't like is the standard gloss that most iPhone icons have. It is put there automatically by Apple, but the developer can tell Apple to turn that off when you build your app.

Winslow, yes #81 is very nice. I've responded to the designer already. I like the blue-print sketch look and the splash of colour, but I don't like the actual pen, or whatever that is. The one with the rings on the right was very interesting, but there were too many rings I think.

Thanks,

Brendan

Hello i_dezign,

I responded to your proposal. I'm sorry, but the top-down look is not what I am going for. I really like so far design #56 because it has elements of my old logo, plus the concept of the 3 tier database cylinder. It even looks like 3 iPhone text input fields also, which my original icon was based upon. So it sort of brings a bunch of the elements I like all together without being too busy or distracting.

Thanks!

Brendan

P.S. I'm sorry if I'm a little slow in responding to anyone here. I'm on vacation in Las Vegas right now so I'm responding when I can get back to a Wifi connection in my hotel :-)
