Update the iPhone Icon
 

The icon for Mac OS is attractive while utilitarian. The icon for iPhone OS is outdated and since the release of OmniFocus for iPhone I've attempted every possible way to hide it. Winterboard was the only solution but I'd rather run Vanilla OS than a hacked overlay.

Look at these...

Then hire this [url=http://www.apporacle.com/]graphic designer[/url], he does wonderful things. I was staring at the Best App Ever Awards and it's clear that price and icon kept you from winning several trophies.

Thanks for your prompt response. Functionality and regular updates make OF irreplaceable.

I prefer the current icon. Simple. Clean. Not fancy.

I don't disagree that the current icon could be improved.

But I don't like any of the above examples.

I think the icon that Nicholas posted in [url=http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=13172]this[/url] thread is very nice.

Agreed.

I agree - think the app icon needs changing & this looks good

Agreed, the icon from Nicholas is an improvement.

The examples in my original post were intended to show the expectations of third-generation App Store development; none would apply to OmniFocus. Obviously the purple should stay.

Could we get some feedback from Moderators?

funny, i actually was wondering about this same thing and stumbled onto a thread by mtheoryx, [URL="http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=15385"]http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=15385[/URL] where he posted an iphone-like icon that he had made for his mac, and i requested that he make a version basically for the iphone. he obliged, and created one that was more suitable. I had to teak it a little to make it exactly the right size for the iphone, but i think it looks pretty good.

That does look very cool

Hi guys

Thanks a lot, I am very happy to be brought up here, apporacle.com is my icon portfolio :)

If the wonderful people from Omnigroup would be interested in a updated version of the icon I´d be my personal pleasure to work night and day on that, and for free - it´s the least I can do for one of my absolute favorite apps :)

[QUOTE=Fireproof;73783]Now that one looks cool![/QUOTE]

A new icon is probably the lowest item on my priority list (wish list for Omni Group), but I agree that I like this one.

(Drat. My quote missed the icon. The one by Nicholas.)

Agree it's not a high priority. But if it's just a matter of dropping a new one in the next build that's pushed out to us, then that would be very cool. Especially if Nicholas is willing to contribute his work for free - then it's no skin off Omni's back!

nope, love the current icon. don't change it.

Not bad at all, but it's not quite right yet. Don't like the way the tick clashes with both the clip and the red header line.

Mind you I did that icon in less than 20 mins. as a mockup. The actual one, if the OmniGroup want help with that, would be a lot better :)

[QUOTE=sgecko;74248]nope, love the current icon. don't change it.[/QUOTE]

Ditto. Please don't change the current icon.

A.

20 mins is impressive...

I felt quite inspired by your icon and tried to replicate it in OmniGraffle... Took me about 4 hours! I couldn't figure out how to make a decent looking 3D tick with depth, so I threw in an eye for good focus.

Feel free to download and improve upon my limited talent...
