jbruck needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Create 5 icons for a media sharing site to represent: Photos, Videos, Files, Web Links and People. We are looking for an inspired vibe, not the same old re-used carbon icon set - simple, clean and playful.
Desired Style:
Simple, clean and playful. Between Japanese (think hello kitty, but more serious) and Italian (modern and simple)
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The project is requires a set of media and action icons for a media sharing site:
1. Please create icons to represent the following:
-Photos
-Files
-Videos
-Web Links
- People
2. Icons represent viewing the media or doing the action.
3. Icons should be able to be used in different form factors and work in both 16x16 and 32x32 sizes
4. We are looking for a style somewhere between:
a) Simple, Japanese, Playful - think hello kitty, but more serious.
b) Italian, modern, simple.
c) We like the style of facebook's icons and feel they capture the ideas of simple, clean and playful.
This project is a chance to make an inspired effort to transform the same old boring carbon icons that we see all over the web.
5. Icons should work in different color combinations, since we haven't nailed down our colors yet.
