Re: Xara Designer Pro - Icon
Seems a bit busy Rik, but I appreciate where you are going.
Instead of the S in the middle, you could show the Bezier control handles on the D?

Make this a challenge. See what the members can come up with.
Re: Xara Designer Pro - Icon
I like it but my only concern would be if you were to use this as an icon would the shape tool in the middle of the D show up very well on a desktop?

Gary: I do understand what you mean about being 'busy'. So, I've taken away the longer guide lines.
Maybe, you could show me where you would put the Bezier control handles on the D?
Ray: I do understand your concern that when the icon is small, the shape tool wouldn't show very well. Actually that's the part I liked the best. When the icon is small, that's when I don't want too much detail in it. But, everyone's taste will be different.
I'll also post a blank 'D' for anyone who wants to show me what they would do with it.
(Good suggestion, Gary.)
Re: Xara Designer Pro - Icon
I like Rik's https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...49#post575149; it should make a good program icon.

I was going to add two Bezier handles to the inside part of the 'D' as well, but, didn't want to make it look too cluttered.
So, which one do you prefer?

But here's the deal, it has to read when it gets placed on the taskbar. That's why simple is better.
This is not to say that you can have a small version and a larger version.
Attached is my taskbar (sliced in halves and stacked)
The D with the Bezier handles works well as a D, but the handles at that size don't read.
