Default Which Icon should we go with? Need your opinions :)

Hi everyone,

My partner and I know the importance of the icon when it comes to whether you decide to even find out more about an app. We've developed our game, "Cannon Cat", which is an action-type casual game. You can go to our website to see what the game is like www.cannoncat.com.

Here are the icons we're choosing between. Please tell us which ones you like the most or rank them in the order of best to worst. And please think beyond just which one "looks" the best, but also which would get you to click and find out more. We really appreciate any feedback you guys can provide.

Click here to view icons (couldn't fit all of them inside this post):

Thanks!
-David

EDIT: Based on the feedback, we decided to polish up icon (B) and here is the final product!



Thanks everyone for their awesome feedback! Don and I really appreciate it

I like C, not sure why, but it just seems much better filled in.

sorry injuwarrior,

I posted up the wrong URL. Can you take a look again at the icons and let me know which one you like again?

Icon B is the only one which indicates the concept of your game, plus the cat has a nice smile in B. The others with the cannon partially showing on the bottom look like Mario tubes.

I agree with others that a simpler background might work, like your "A" background. Having the light beams pointing in the same direction as he is launched works well too and the yellow in the beams is like a cannon burst.

In summary, "B" with "A"'s background is your best bet.

Hey, those are all on the right track. As a suggestion, look this article over and it might give you some good tips for improving your logos: http://www.gamesbrief.com/2012/02/lo...own-the-shelf/

I know it gave me some good ideas...

As a graphic designer, I'd highly recommend either A or B, actually, somewhere between the two. It's just so exciting and gives you a good idea of what the game's about.
