A call to artists....

[johngalt]

jopeek - CodePlex is the developer of the wonderful app that I am instantly in love with and cannot live without, Browser Chooser - Home

In Browser Chooser - Discussions - Browser Chooser Icon he is asking for anyone who is willing to design an icon for BC - so I thought I'd recommend the wonderful folks here to give it a shot. He asked for me to make a post here and to link him to it, so here is the post, and there is the link.

Do us proud, folks!

Hi all, I'm jopeek. Thanks for the post John and I look forward to what you guys and gals come up with.

Cheers

I wouldnt mind creating a few. I jsut dont know what the parameters are in terms of design. Or is it a 'lets see what we come up with'. In that case I'll just start popping some out and go from there.

Something that relates I guess. The tool acts as your default browser, opens when you click on a link or url shortcut and presents you with a list of configurable browsers.

I do like the icon that a similar app for the mac uses at Choosy - A smarter default browser for Mac OS X

The icon should match the general style of Windows 7 icons, ie. glossy and not too square, I suppose. Other than that, you're the creative ones

That's a pretty nice icon they have for that app, I may have a go at doing something similar to that.

 

[Mark]

Here is my first go at it.

 

[Disk4mat]

Ok, Im going to work on a few tonight and post him when completed.

very nice! and I love how firefox is in the foreground

 

[Kukag]

Hmm not really an icon just a random thing I created =P I kinda like it, inspired by GRIM's icon =P



What do you think?

Thanks,
Kukag

 

[peekj]

Grim's icon is pretty cool. Probably wouldn't scale well to a smaller size though.

Kukag, I like that. I could use that either on the website or on the about screen inside the app for example, if you'll let me.

 

[Kukag]

Ya of course you can, probably be better for let me to edit it a bit more just make it a bit cleaner, here give me 10 - 20 mins lemme clean it up abit =P

Thanks,
Kukag

 

[peekj]

No rush, take your time, I will check back here tomorrow.

Cheers

 

[Kukag]

Ok what do you think about this?



Also do you have any other projects or things you need graphics for? I'd be happy to help.

Thanks,
Kukag

 

[peekj]

That looks great! Could you change the "jopeek" to "Jan Ole Peek"?

I haven't got anything else that needs graphics but if and when I do, I'll be sure to give it a try in these forums here.

 

[Kukag]

Ok awesome, and ya just a minute I'll change it now! =P

Thanks,
Kukag

Edit :

Ok please give credit where needed!

Heres the JPEG and the PNG on a blank background so you can add it with transparency!




Also don't forget to +rep anyone and everyone who helps you here!
Thanks,
Kukag

 

[peekj]

Thanks Kukag, and yes, I will of course attribute everyone who adds to the project. I have to rewrite the About screen as the list of contributors is getting larger Gotta love open-source!

 

[Disk4mat]

Mr Grim & Kukag... Fantastic work! Clearly your works are beyond what I came up with. But I'll post mine for the sake of it

It can be sharpened up for the lower resolutions. Im just not sure its worth it lol

 

[peekj]

Much better than I could have done

 

[Kukag]

great work Disk, I actually like it, only thing i see it lacking is a sort of brand. its hard to tell that it belongs to browser choose, you know what I'm saying?

Thanks,
Kukag

 

[peekj]

That is true. I kind of want an icon/logo that doesn't need the other browsers' icons, so that way I won't reuse existing art.
