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:
    • 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 :)

    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:
    • 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).

    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 .
