Not sure if it's the right place to ask but can someone please rework OSM Scout Server icon to be a regular square? I think it's pretty ugly now.

Opinions about this one?

Much better IMHO.
And the radio one is nice too.

Now the main thing for me is the background. You used a gradient and a darker stripe.
I thing a solid color with a single fold would be better.

And if I may, maybe try smaller lines for the type writer (but not sure it would be better... just something worth trying )

@AppLee I've tested the lines thickness by zooming out. I would have loved them slicker, but when zoomed out to an icon size,,, I haven't test them on my N5, only in PNG format,,,

@C0n57an71n I like that one. lets hope I'm not the only one

@Lakotaubp The thing is I don't know how visible is the typewriter body on phone resolution. Right now is at 3px.

@C0n57an71n
Basically on the phone, there are two sizes.
The one from the launcher and the one from the app drawer.
What I do is change the icon of an existing app in order to check it out.

Just replace the file in the app directory.

Sorry for the big size, but is just to have a sense how much 3px are.

Does anybody has a contact from the Chess (Simple AI) app publisher? His name is Gregor Santner, but I couldn't find his email address. I would like to work with him to change the app icon, in case he wants that

@C0n57an71n
Really like your creative thinking within the set parameters.

If all designers would stick to this lay out, which is more in line with the UT design than many others, would make the apps have a better overall uniformity, it'd make the Open Store a much more 'calmer' and 'easier' place to search the app you need at first glance.

Keep up the good work!

@3T_Ed Thanks for the good thoughts! I'm trying to harmonize somehow the icons aspect, without affecting the creativity freedom.

@C0n57an71n
You're getting better and better at it

You might want to add tags to your first post of this thread (thinking: #design, #app #development, #icons, #openstore)

In case somebody wonders how an SDR looks like

App icon idea for WebSDR App from Dirk Unverzagt. Maybe he can see this and come with suggestions.
