I'm wrapping up on my take of a logo quiz. And I'm working on the icon now. Interested to see what others think. A or B or other suggestions.

And here is how they look amongst the glitz and glam of a logo search in the app store.

    I think the left stands out more....

    and wow... looking at it amongst all the other logos shows just how hard it is to stick out..... not sure about using ebay logo visibly in your own?

    Thx Stormy. The left was my first try. And my fav. My daughter likes the Right. My app features a heap of logos as does a lot of others on the store. I'm OK with logos on the icon until it doesn't get approved, then I'll need to come up with a way to show popular logos without showing them.

    OK. Interesting to see how things could stand out from the coloured mess of this search screen.

    What are your thoughts on having the words or the app name in the actual ICON. I'm not a fan usually but tried this out.

    What do you think now? Although I like version A best, I think the black icons stand out better and catch your eye first.

    I'm gonna continue working on these black variations I think.

    Big logo might work too . . . ?

    A and C stands out well!

    Yeah @socks Nice idea. Even with that amount of colour and art it still kinda stands out.

    It's a balance act to the an icon that still conveys the app content.

    This one is minimal and maybe not enough? But certainly pops. (My app has the dark screen and stitching theme. So it at least ties in there.)

    The big tick and cross logos definitely stand out more, but if I were browsing and came across them I wouldn't know that they are anything to do with logos, I'd probably think the big tick icon was for a to do list app. I think you're going down the right road with big and bold designs though.

    @boomshackbarry thank you for steering me back on track. Your absolutely right. I'm going to work more on A now. Just need to make it stand out a little more.

    Cool, I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

    I know I'm late to the party - we'll see what happens.

    A compromise of the 2 styles. What do you think?
