Corona Icon Challenge

carlos_m_icaza · March 29, 2011, 10:44am

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/

Carlos

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]

carlos_m_icaza · March 31, 2011, 7:19pm

@lfredrik : either one. 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. [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]

r.pudlowski · April 1, 2011, 5:21am

here is my idea
All the icons are also at 512x512, ready to publish
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 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]

carlos_m_icaza · April 5, 2011, 10:11am

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

r.pudlowski · April 6, 2011, 11:19am

well, as i said before, the logo in the icon is the ansca one…
so i’ve made a logo for corona
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
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]

r.pudlowski · April 6, 2011, 12:00pm

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

carlos_m_icaza · April 6, 2011, 12:53pm

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]

carlos_m_icaza · April 6, 2011, 1:11pm

cotton seeds

jhocking · April 6, 2011, 1:29pm

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

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
