what games are good, but have sucky icons i will start us off: doodle bomb (too simplistic, words) horrible vikings (when i first looked at it, i could even tell what it was!) warfare inc (too much blue) what do you guys think?
Anything with the OF logo on it. Parking Mania - some random ugly chick. Implode! - not fond of the game's graphical style anyway so... it figures. PathPix Pro - it's alright, but not as clean as the first game's icon. Finger Physics - currently has an ugly banner across the bottom. rRootage - doesn't reflect the style of the game at all. Atlantis Sky Patrol - what's with the crappy swerve thing at the bottom?
I wanna say Infinity Project but it actuaklly has a really nice icon graphics-wise but is lacking in telling what the game is about.
Avatar - I really really hate, when the app's name is in the icon. I mean, WHY...it's standing below anyway. Monopoly has got a better solution for example. "Monopoly" as part of the icon to place "Worldwide" below...
I entered this thread to say just that, but you beat me to it. I agree with Finger Physics. The game is great but the icon even without the banner feels 3rd rate. Doodle Army - icon doesn't reflect how good the game is. Zombieville - should be the Survivor's head on the icon. Roswell - yellow banner across the top left corner with the word "PLUS". It uses OF. iPharaoh - don't like the new one. old one was better.
I wish the SIIG icon didn't have the word "INFINITY" on it also PathPix Pro, Galcon (+Labs). I also don't really like the shiny effect on some of the icons
I don't really have a problem with the feint logo, the thing that bothers me is that icons put them on different corners, it just pisses me off
I think there are more bad games with great icons. I dont want to offend any game/developer but thats part of the appstores rules: if you have a great icon you dont need to deliver a great game...people will still buy it. Sad but true. Ok, maybe I dramatised this a little... Thanks god there are sites like this so you can get an idea whats good and what is not.
