As long as I was discussing icons thos month on Xara Xone, I thought I'd submit an icon for this version 10:
Like the 2D corporate splash screens for all Xara and MAGIX software, this is clean and simple, assisted by lighting:

Looks nice, Gare, but I only see a .jpeg.
Sigh, I'm getting old and forgetful...perhaps only forgetful!
See new attachment in post 122 above.

Thank you, young man! ;)
I could have illustrated it Frank, but it was quicker to model and light it.
Me thinks MAGIX doesn't use a Xara product to design the box illustrations.
But I really do get pretty granular in Xara drawings. This was from a still life set up in out kitchen where the lighting is good, and I'm into a white on white phase in designing.

Regardless of what tools I used to make the icon, Frank, I'm still pleased with the way it came out. I liked putting the X inside the area where there should be a hole in the "10", and then lit it to make sure the white on white didn't hide anything.
Yeah, it could have been a Xara drawing, Frank. If The Xara Group liked it enough to want to use it (they wouldn't), I'd certainly draw the thing in vectors.

It was just an observation and not in any way an attempt to put you on the defensive. You draw what you want to draw using what you want to draw with and you make no excuses for that which is why I like you. But I saw an illustration concept for a Xara splash screen that was clearly a 3D model which wasn't done in any Xara app and it caught my attention for that reason.
"Me thinks MAGIX doesn't use a Xara product to design the box illustrations." If I truly thought that was the case I would be really f*****g angry with them. But since I am an enlightened, positive-thinking person propped up (for the time being) by the right cocktail of happy pills I shall choose to believe that Magix would not actively choose to do something so overtly two-faced and duplicitous and, frankly, fraudulent. But, just to be clear on that point, just so that there is no misunderstanding (we don't like misunderstandings on TalkGraphics), if it came to light that that was in fact the case it would be enough of a blow to me to drop paying for Xara software like a brick despite my years of support.
I liked the 10X, it was innovative and the white on white works for me too.
So, Big Frank, that's kind of strange to me. I understand where you are coming from, but in the end, I don't care what they use to create their promo (i.e. box) materials, especially if their software is ABLE to do it.
Does it bother you that neither the Xara Xone nor the Xara.com websites are built with Xara software? (maybe some of the graphics are made with Xara, but the sites themselves don't use their own software).
