Corona Icon Challenge

Getting Started Announcements
#1

Hello

I am looking to replace the Corona 11 pool ball icon with something more exciting and more interesting than a pool ball.

I want the new icon to be less “gamey” and more Corona’esque and be able to stand out in the Mac icon tray bar. Recognizable from a distance, says “Corona” but not gamey.

Think of a tool for your “mobile game development”.

Winner gets a year subscription of PRO of Corona or an extension to their subscription (and upgrade to PRO if indie user).

Submit icons here in png format. Once I pick an icon, we will do the high res in photoshop and transfer the rights.

Enter as many icons as you want.

Deadline for submission April 20th. I will pick an Icon by April 30th.

Get inspired : http://weloveicons.com/

Hi this looks like a fun challange, I just have one question:
I guess you don’t want something based on the logo under your name, as that is more a logo for Ansca itself and not Corona, right? [import]uid: 43150 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30342[/import]

@lfredrik : either one. :slight_smile: the more options the better. [import]uid: 24 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30387[/import]

XCode icon is a hammer over a set of blueprints. What’s more powerful than a hammer? A nail gun!

PS - Now you can see why I’m a programmer and not an artist – call the above a “first draft” that someone with talent would have to redo. :wink: [import]uid: 9440 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30391[/import]

Hi Carlos,

I just inherited $20 Billion so I’m only doing this for fun :)00 but could you post a half decent version of the Ansca logo and do you really want our entries just posted here ? [import]uid: 6086 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30419[/import]

here is my idea :slight_smile:
All the icons are also at 512x512, ready to publish :slight_smile:
The idea behind the first is that you are “laying”, “hatching”, breeding" apps (so it’s fast), and your app can be your golden egg :slight_smile: I k now i used the ansca logo, but now, without a logo specificaly for corona, that’s the visual association with corona sdk for me (so it will be good to make something similar for corona, hmmm…? ;))

The second one is more “straightforward”: you are coding on your computer, for smartfones/tablets.

Here is my first contribution to the icon challenge. Quite a simple straightforward idea with a mystical crystal ball kind of feel in Ansca orange colour. [import]uid: 33866 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30592[/import]

Nice ! [import]uid: 24 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30816[/import]

#11

well, as i said before, the logo in the icon is the ansca one…
so i’ve made a logo for corona :slight_smile:
it’s in the same style as the ansca one, but the round represents something similar to a limon slice, because everytime i think about corona, i want to drink one, with a lime slice in it :smiley:
So here you are, the updated icons and a shiny new corona logo:

I like that logo for Corona, so the icon could be just the circle symbol from that logo. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30973[/import]

#13

that’s a good idea, i’ve updated the image :slight_smile: [import]uid: 44010 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30980[/import]

#14

#15

Those are seeds in the Ansca logo? I though they were boats!

Jay

PS - Okay, I didn’t think they were boats, but I didn’t think they were seeds, either. Kinda thought it was just a decorative braid. [import]uid: 9440 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30988[/import]

#16

cotton seeds

#17

that’s a good idea, i’ve updated the image :slight_smile:

Yeah those look really great, I would love to have that icon on my Dock. It sounds like you should try redoing them in a cotton seed pod, although that wouldn’t have such vibrant color. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 8395 reply_id: 30994[/import]

Hi,

I noticed this competition through twitter and it got my attention, so I decided to enter.

My entries are below. I considered adding a rocket orbiting the gear but decided against it, because I thought it might be too much.

Thanks,
ED
