GT500 Posted March 14, 2008 ID:14823 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 ...That's interesting. I like the fact that it's high quality, but I haven't quite decided if I like it as an icon for MBAM... Of course, at the same time, I have no ideas that are better... Link to post

Staff TeMerc Posted March 15, 2008 Staff ID:14832 Share Posted March 15, 2008 This one is a step in the right direction for sure. The globe fits more along the line of the product, meaning a couple of things, your product is global, especially since you seem to have found enough people to translate stuff into every single language on the planet, and of course the 'global' aspect of the system cleaning the tool does.I'm not sure about the jaws\teeth thing tho, IMHO, it still appears gamish. I'm just not sure what would go with the global theme.How about instead of having teeth, perhaps an overlay of a scanner, with the sweeping motion passing over the globe? Just another option.I'm all for keeping an open mind, but I think you need to give the logo a more 'professional' look. All the other graphics on the app look great. You need to keep in mind that the logo is going to be the very first thing people see, so it needs to scream what the app is and catch peoples eyes. It may catch eyes now, but I don't think it does your software justice. Link to post
SpySentinel Posted March 15, 2008 ID:14857 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The globe with an overlay of a scanner sweeping across is a good idea. Link to post
Gimpguy2000 Posted March 16, 2008 ID:14861 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The globe looks great and all but as your software grows, you may want more serious side. I threw an example in for kicks but either way, the globe with teeth is alright. I don't know if MBAM will be taken as serious with that icon or not, depends. Of course the app speaks for itself though, if it's good, likely no one will care if the icon is serious or not. In my opinion only, as MB grows, or anyone who creates software, you need to come up with a theme that works for all your software, can be different but at the same time, link back to a definite theme at MB. I don't know if I explained that correctly or not. Cheers,Paul Link to post
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted March 16, 2008 Author Root Admin ID:14862 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You did, unfortunately nobody came forward with an icon and I had to spend a large sum to get an icon. So ... I am not wasting that money lol. Link to post
Staff TeMerc Posted March 16, 2008 Staff ID:14872 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You did, unfortunately nobody came forward with an icon and I had to spend a large sum to get an icon. So ... I am not wasting that money lol.That being the case, you need to direct the artist to what you want. If the logo you presented was in the range of your description, then fine, if not they need to try again. Altho, regardless, I'd suggest you direct them to give it another go, unless you really like the teeth icon, after all it is your tool, lol. Link to post
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted March 16, 2008 Author Root Admin ID:14893 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Okay, let's try this again. Drum roll please ... our new icon! Thanks to Paul. Link to post
Fred Flintstone Posted March 16, 2008 ID:14901 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Eyecatching / professional looking / ties in with the name of the prog...BINGO!!... Nothing wrong technically with the other one, but this one is much more "mature" for a serious security app.. All IMHO of course!... Fred... Link to post
LoneWolf Posted March 17, 2008 ID:14902 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Okay, let's try this again. Drum roll please ... our new icon! Thanks to Paul.Better. Link to post

Ruby Posted March 17, 2008 ID:14906 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi againbut this one is better: It's looking fine, much better than the quarter: Link to post
LoneWolf Posted March 17, 2008 ID:14907 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yes the rounded edges look better then it being square.I'm liking it. Link to post
Gimpguy2000 Posted March 17, 2008 ID:14908 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The rounded one is alright too but I believe Marcin didn't want to deal with transparency. I don't know what it's like to code in an icon with transparency but from what I gather from others who implement icons into their software, it's obviously much easier without. cheers,Paul Link to post
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted March 17, 2008 Author Root Admin ID:14909 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Sorry, but rounded edges look good here .. but not in the program. The transparency actually ruins the icon when on the desktop. Link to post
Staff TeMerc Posted March 17, 2008 Staff ID:14912 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Either of these is good.Any chance of incorporating the globe, say in the middle somehow? Jr off set? Just throwing ideas out there. Link to post
SpySentinel Posted March 17, 2008 ID:14918 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I like the new icon! Link to post

Dakeyras Posted March 17, 2008 ID:14926 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Okay, let's try this again. Drum roll please ... our new icon! Thanks to Paul.Very nice . Link to post

Jason2 Posted March 17, 2008 ID:14949 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yes, I concur. A nice, sleek, simple design Regards Jason Link to post
ShadowPuterDude Posted March 18, 2008 ID:14973 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Very nice. That will standout very nicely in the systray. Link to post
Scavenger Posted March 18, 2008 ID:14977 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yer the second globe and the square are better then the first although i seriously have no problem with the current one. The more professional it looks the better. My personal favorite icons are those of Trustware, Eset,Counterspy and the old Cyberhawk. Im glad your involving your users in the pick of an icon, somethingh Nick (SAS) should have done long ago. Silly cheapo bugger ( tray icon). Link to post
