Hi there designers, I bring a new challenge for you ;-)

I'm writing an application to search services/business from different web sources, show information about them, with GPS, phone, contacts integration, etc. I have uploaded an alpha version (0.3) to Extras-devel, but it's not prepared for end-users yet. It will be in the future.

So because of my limited skills in graphics design, I'm asking for your help here.
The application doesn't have an icon yet, so it would be really nice if someone can come with one icon for the application.

I don't have any special thoughts on how the icon should look, so please, surprise me ;-)

Thanks in advance.

Daniel,

Imo, this just sounds like something that would fit into the Maemo 5 HIG:
  • Text input for search string (with a Search button)
  • Pannable window with search results
  • Text input for filtering
  • Icons (maybe) for search result categories (e.g., phone, GPS, etc.)
Unless you want something arbitrarily more snazzy than that, am I getting the picture? If I am, I'd say base the UI off of the Contacts app.

But, anyway, if you need help, that's fine too. (Btw, wish I could help right now, but I'm pretty tied up.)

Tim

Well, yes, that's more or less the UI of the application right now. Screenshots here . Snazzier would be cool, but it would come later when I have implemented the most of the functionality.

What I am asking for in this thread is an icon for the application, I mean the icon that the applications have in the applications menu.

Probably I have worded bad the request in the original post. Thanks anyway Tim ;-)

I do have pretty good skills with graphic design, but I'd really like some ideas, even vague, how the icon should look like before starting to work on in

Really, I don't know a good concept for the icon, but let's try.
The main function of the application is "search business", so it could be:
  • search = a magnifier
  • business = a building

It would be nice an icon joining a magnifier and a building ;-)

Thanks.

Yerga (edit - sounds almost rude to call you by your surname!), have a chat with kopte3 - he has done a lovely icon for me

Yes, definitely! I like more the first one so I'll use that.

Thank you Andrew.

Well, my closer friends call me by my surname since many years ago, so it's not rude at all.

I'll be using Andrew's icon, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.
