Quite a change in colour from the previous programme icons.
So, I just wanted to see if I could come up with one?!
The design has the 'D' and 'P' in it - for Designer Pro.
Well, that was my idea!
Feel free to use the .ico file, which is in the zip file.
You eschewed the shadow then?
Because the left side extends just a small distance below the rounded portion, it could be a P. I would make them the same and for my taste, close the gap. It gapes. :)
I did do that deliberately, Gary.
I moved the right side up a bit (you see it as the left side extending down a bit) - same thing!
I only moved it up just a bit, so that when you look at it casually, it still looks like a D.
As an Icon, it looks OK.
But, here's the icon with nothing extended!
Do you think it looks better?
Very good ideaQuote:

I see the "P" in the negative space. A closed gap would remove the negative space.Quote:

With things like this, it's always very personal.Quote:

But, why not do a quick drawing, Mike, and give us an idea as to what you mean?
I look forward to your drawing. :)
It's your drawing. Look at the hole, the negative space, in the D.
if I close the 'D', then the 'P' would not be a 'P'.Quote:

Yes. Do not close the D else the P would be removed.
I Ike the gap.
"Yes. Do not close the D else the P would be removed.
I Ike the gap."
me too.
just to add a dash of levity on this serious discussion....
I suppose someone just had to give me the heebie jeebies!Quote:

It looks good maybe if you put in a little half circle inside the head of the 'P' a different color it might finish it.. Either way I like it the way it is.. Dave
erm...maybe post up an example for us Dave?Quote:

Clever idea usding the number 11 but I still like Rik's idea best, sssssansss ssssserpent. Sorry Rik couldn't resist, got the sss idea from Mikey. ;))
nice idea but being a small icon it seems a bit crowded then. i gave it a really super quick shot too just to size it up.Quote:
