    Hi folks!

    First off, wanted to thank everyone on this forum that contributed in the making of Deo. Your feedback and help is amazing and very appreciated!

    We're weeks away from releasing Deo and I can't make up my mind (LOL) on which icon I want to go with. Here are my top 3 styles/picks (3rd from the top of each column).

    My question to you: Which one would you most likely click on from the AppStore?

    The middle is my least favorite. The left is my favorite because it looks unique and different from most other icons on the AppStore. The one on the right however would probably pop a little more, wouldn't it?

    I won't go into details of what the game is about (for those of you that don't know) because that's the type of crowd that will most likely see this icon on the AppStore anyway.


    Thanks everyone!!!

    These are the new, tweaked versions.

    I'm torn in the exact same way you are, and not because you said it. What about the first one with a red border. Could we see a mock up of that. I love the art style of the first one much better. Yeah I think I would like to see some different variations of the first one actually. I think it is safe to say with some tweaking to get it to stand out more, it easily is the best.

    I like the one on the right as it is more eye-catching with the red and white colours then the other icons. The other two icons (middle and left one) are kinda dark and doesn't really define what the game really is since the game involves the red guy.

    Agreed. The one on the right seems to pop out more than the other 2.

    Haha they wish! LOL jk.

    Hm perhaps the one on the right pops more, sure but which one would make you want to click on it more? The one on the right might raise a few thoughts such as, "egh just another game with some sorta ball" and skip through it even though it's not. The one on the left on the other hand would make you question, "hmm what is this??" and encourage to click on it, no? Lol thanx guys!

    yea, they probably do wish. this game blows angry birds' sorry *** out of the water :cool:

    and I wasn't really thinking like that. I was thinking which one I'd rather have on my screen..... IDK if I thought about it the way you put it...

    Yeah saw that, too. Thank you so much! Not sure about that icon though...seems like it might be a lil too much detail n stuff going on. Want it a bit more simple.

    I just changed the desc., a lil bit.

    I have to reinforce that the first one is definitely one I'd rather click, but I also have to agree with phattestfatty, I'd rather have the third on my device.

    I like the left one a lot except that it is a little bland. Maybe if you added colors to the plants or maybe have the Deo dude on top of the planet be red instead of black. I would also tone down the whiteness on the right side. It makes the icon seem too faded.
    The right one also looks good but I like the left one better.

    Version three (far right) is the best so far, but I really like the dark shape that's going on in the far left version of the icons. I'd like to see a combination of both the right and the left where the background is primarily the left icon with the addition of the red object from the right version.

    Had Deo red and didn't really like it but perhaps I'll do it again and put it up here :) Will try to tone the whites down a bit a n see it it looks better. Thank you.

    Hmm, seems like ppl r just as split between the two as I am. What a great idea to combine the two together haha. I'll try it...just for the heck of it. I'll post it up here.

    Thank you :)

    Alright, I've made some tweaks. What do you guys think? On the left is w/borders and on the right is borderless.

    Worst case, I'll go with the one at the bottom haha, best of both worlds :) jk

    I like having the little guy in the icon, so definitely either the 2nd or 3rd (the 1st is a bit bland with only b/w). Which one to choose probably depends on the game's artstyle. If it's a bit darker, go with the 2nd. If it's more well-lit, go with the 3rd.
