Both look awesome! For the all greyish one, is there any way you can make the t blue and still have it look cool?

Hmm... Have you ever thought of making the whole application look like that logo of yours?
I did. That's the result of my work. Kind of unfinished, coz I was too lazy to do it how it should be done, but maybe it will help you to make ur app look better :]
Oh, and there really is a song like that xD Here is the link ->I Came Buckets.

The colors are interesting, but this is still really just the letter. I really like the idea of putting it in something or adding something else, not just the standalone letter.

Looks pretty cool! Is there any way you can get the color of the t to be blue and still have it work?

Wow, that's REALLY cool! I mean just from a pure coolness aspect, it's great. But unfortunately, even thinking about changing the layout/design of the application is not possible at this point since we are weeks away from a public release. But, one requested feature I've gotten a number of times is the ability to change the loop of the application, so it's possible in a future release we might have a template system. If we do, I'll get in contact with you because what you came up with is pretty sick. Maybe you should take a shot at the icon though, because it seems like you can do something really good!

I don't think anyone connected you to him.
People who don't want to give their name on the internet because they are paranoid shits are dumb in their own sense as you can't do shit with just someone's name.

I'm just that type of person that likes to be safe. Anyways, He said "I'm surprised you didn't make it blurry this time". that's inferring that hes talking about me. And while it may be dumb to you, I know dozens of people that can find out shit on the internet from a name. But your right, I am kinda paranoid. It's just my personality.

Hmm okay, I'll try to make ya an icon. But there is one thing that bothers me. You want to use it as a desktop icon, taskbar icon and such, am I right? In app window and on the taskbar, the size of the icon is 16x16, that is the smallest one of those we are making. But.. That icon of yours is just too complicated(it's height is too big) to make a clear, nice icon of that.

The only way to make it possible is to make the icon in pixel version. I think it's the best choice for the task bar.

I made it in best possible proportions. There is only one "but' - the uncomplete stroke at the top, but nothing can be done with it now. I could make it smaller but the proportions would go to hell making the icon look strange.
I'll make the other icons a bit later kay? I just got up :D (it's a holiday and a 9 am in my country ;D)

And here's the sample

PS
I'm glad that you liked my "theme" ;]

Here they are in all the sizes.

I did the 16x16 icon in a pixel-art style but I am willing to change that if you like.

Hey everyone,

A few notes as the end of the contest approaches, and some feedback.

First, there's been a lot of great entries so far and I'm very pleased! There's a number of submissions that I would be more than happy as having for the icon :) I'm having all submissions reviewed by multiple people to ensure we pick what we think is the best one.

Lastly, if you're one of those people who likes to wait until the last minute to submit, note that I will still review and consider your entry, but your chances of winning go down since I most likely won't be able to give you any feedback and you will not be able to make any improvements.

It really isn't. A bunch of people have pulled it off right here in this thread :)

Looks pretty good, but I feel like the 2 smallest ones don't work without any outline. And I think the top left of the shade is too dark on the orange background.

Hmm... Looks like i won't have enough time to make you an icon, I'm really sorry :< I'll try to manage some time tomorrow but i don't think i'll find any. Still, the guys here made some really awesome ones, so it's not like I'm needed anyway :D

But about the skin, PM me when you are going to make it, kay? I don't want any money, I'd like to help you because I love that kind of work. Every time I try to do things like that, I learn something new, usually really useful.

Good luck for all the contestants and You :]
Cheers!
