sho-dan Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14727 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hello MarcinI like it, the shape, colors and the teeth does catch the eye. Its has that hungry look for all you can eat malware buffet. Nice job. Link to post
MaB69 Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14728 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Marcin,Honestly, i dislike it because this icon reminds me some kind of video game ( even if i'm a gamer) and will, IMO, badly desserve your product.One opinion amongst many others .....Regards,MaB Link to post
JeanInMontana Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14732 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have to say do not like it. It isn't serious enough, I guess is the best way to say how it impacts me with first look. A bit cartoonish. I really like the looks of the tray icon now. Not sure why you want to change that. The cougar is well associated with the site and the program IMO. Kind of like Scotty and WinPatrol, I was among those asking for the old icon there too. Link to post
SpySentinel Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14735 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I agree, I like the current icon Link to post
AndyAtHull Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14743 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Pacman here we come! In all honesty, I dislike it too. Doesnt do MBAM any good. However they are clear and whoever made them is good. Link to post
MaB69 Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14746 Share Posted March 13, 2008 However they are clear and whoever made them is good.Hi,Andy is right, my post was not offending but my thought was that a security product could not be symbolized by something childish (no offense at all to the artist )Regards,MaB Link to post
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted March 13, 2008 Author Root Admin ID:14749 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, unfortunately nobody came forward with a serious icon or any suggestions for that matter. I personally like it and hope it will not discourage anybody using it for this silly reason. The current icon looks like a pile of brown ... well, use your imagination. Link to post
JeanInMontana Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14752 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I don't intend to criticize the art work either, it's good. The old icon is better IMO. It is the head of a growling cat. PacMan does come to mind with this one. LOL Can we have a choice? Link to post
SpySentinel Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14754 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I like this one:by Gimpguy2000 Link to post
LoneWolf Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14757 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I wish I was able to create one.but i'm just not good at that.A suggestion though, a "front" view of a cougar's head (or a wolf's) might be an idea for a new icon.Maybe growling too.Just a thought. Link to post
John L. Galt Posted March 13, 2008 ID:14761 Share Posted March 13, 2008 AN idea (for either icon as I actually kinda like the proposed replacement icon)How about having some graphic artiste inserting the word "Malware" inside the icon's mouth (whether it be a revamped feline snarling or the new proposed icon)?That would make it a bit better, IMO.

G1111 Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14767 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like the current blue banner one in Marcin's signature. Add the product name there. The brown-orange version for RogueRemover. Link to post
ctrlaltdelete Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14768 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I am no artiste but i'll try Why not keep the lion and use something like this. Link to post
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted March 14, 2008 Author Root Admin ID:14769 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I don't think a photo of a part of an animal's head works well as an icon (it doesn't follow the icon guidelines of XP or Vista icons, and looks out of place in either of the operating systems in my opinion). Link to post
ctrlaltdelete Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14770 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ah, i never looked at icon guidelines. Found some guidelines here, gonna try to follow them. Link to post
Prm753 Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14771 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I personally like the old icon. The new one reminds me of Pac-Man. It's a good icon, just not for an anti-malware program. Link to post
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted March 14, 2008 Author Root Admin ID:14774 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Unfortunately I think I will stick with the current graphics artist . He will make a better version and I will show everybody again. Personally, I want to stray away from the lion as it does not make for a good icon. Link to post
Ruby Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14789 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The symbol of lion stands for the king of the animals which eats up every malware, so what is wrong with this icon? The "Pacman"-Icon is nice, but it's not impressive for a serious anti-malware program. Everybody would think it's a new game... Link to post
Staff TeMerc Posted March 14, 2008 Staff ID:14794 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'd have to go with the majority on this one, it looks to be totally off the mark as it does not represent anything remotely suggestive to security. Looks more like a vid game icon than anything else.While the quality may well be good, I don't think it fits any theme that one could relate to on a malware level. Link to post
dvk01 Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14798 Share Posted March 14, 2008 the old one doesn't do a lot but the new one even though bright & attractive looks too pac man ish & gives the wrong impressionI don't think an animals head fits right either but it does need something but I don't know what Link to post
fredvries Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14805 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If the present logo is considered too brown, we could try the same image but the of a polar bear or something like the one I've added here... Link to post
JeanInMontana Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14813 Share Posted March 14, 2008 That's interesting Fred. If brown is the only issue and from the post about MS requirements its not, the color could be changed. I have it in my head MBAM has a growling cat behind it. LOL I like that. Link to post
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted March 14, 2008 Author Root Admin ID:14821 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I asked a few people and have agreed that this will be a much better icon. Please have an open mind ... Link to post
LoneWolf Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14822 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I asked a few people and have agreed that this will be a much better icon. Please have an open mind ...Well between the two I would go for the second one. a bit better for a security app. The first one was a nice icon, just not really fit for MBAM I think.Still like the idea of a front view instead of a side view of some sort of vicious animal growling though. (with a little color) Link to post
