Icons for your software products. Favorites.
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who took part in the action . There were much more interesting programs that needed an icon than I expected, and the choice was not easy. To enhance the intrigue, I will first give a list of criteria that guided me when choosing:
So, the three lucky ones are:
They will receive an icon in sizes from 256x256 to 16x16 as a gift for the New Year.
In addition, the following developers and products go the bonus group (it's still a NAPD, and it's hard for me to refrain from good deeds):
But most likely it will be after the New Year. I promise to think about the icon for Total Commander :)
All other participants of the action can count on New Year's (and not only) discounts, advantages in the following promotions, help with advice and other good things on my part. I would love to iconize everyone, but once you need to earn some bread with caviar;)
The results of the development of promotional icons will be public. So for the New Year I will please you and myself with another post.
In conclusion, I want to ask everyone to answer 3 questions:
The information received will be used by me in writing the book “Creating Icons: 5 Simple Steps”, as well as for personal purposes :) Icons developed during the action will illustrate the book and be used in the portfolio on the site .
- lack of icon, bad or icon taken from the clipart;
- focus on the Russian-speaking market or the presence of localization;
- degree of readiness of the program - preference was given to finished and working products;
- program free;
- the availability of the application from the developer;
- the size of the required icon - I was primarily interested in programs that need large beautiful icons (small, of course, will be attached to them);
- the popularity of the program - I want not only the developers to admire the icon, but also as many users as possible :)

- koreec and MyHomeLib will get an icon in sizes 16x16 and 32x32;
- Mezomish with a text editor will receive an icon 16x16 + 48x48;
- dust and the TinyMCE image and photo upload plugin will become the owners of the 20x20 icon.

In conclusion, I want to ask everyone to answer 3 questions:
- Why does your software product need an icon, and what, in your opinion, are the criteria for its quality?
- Describe your 3 biggest problems (related to your product and the development of an icon for it).
- Describe the 3 strongest of your aspirations (related to your product and the development of an icon for it).
