Pot calling the kettle black? I see the latest update to the Frenzic app has a SALE banner emblazoned across it…

“Lately, developers have taken to plastering “SALE” or “60% OFF!” within their icons.“

I think it’s funny that Frenzic is now 60% off, and has a sale label plastered on its icon. This diatribe is barely two weeks old, and already you are doing exactly what you preached against.

If you can’t beat ‘em…

[...] Gedeon Maheux on the design of the super shiny Frenzic icon: “Lately, developers have taken to plastering “SALE” or “60% OFF!” within their icons.

They use dull colors or pile on heaps of detail that just adds unwanted noise to an already cluttered array of choices.” [...]

A very informative article which I can really relate to as both a designer who has worked with many picky clients and also is currently designing icons for some iPhone apps (check us out – http://www.chillix.net). I have tried to keep my icons for our apps simple but stylish, making it as instantly obvious as possible as to what the app offers. I agree with Anton, if an Icon is bad it gets shifted along my home screens, I reserve the first 3 for apps with good functionality and awesome icons only. It pains me when I find a nice app with a horrid icon! Anyhow, I love the frenzic icon and am addicted to the game, well done guys!
