A couple of thoughts from me regarding the discussion about the app icon.
I read a couple of times that due to the 64x64 / 48x48 size of icons there is a limitation regarding details. True, of course, an icon cannot show the NY skyline in every detail. But the limitation does not mean it has to be plain and boring.
I think, an icon, that is sexy and appealing for the user, should
- Depict the feature/scope of an app clearly / quickly understandable without quoting the app name
- Have at least some shiney, glossy, 3D or whatever effect to make it look professional
- be done nicely regarding graphic designing, sharp, not too much details, especially when its a simple one, there should be something that makes it look special.
Personally I am quite happy with the current one. The soccer skinned Q is done nicely as well as the soccer field. Both can be recognized easily, are not too small from my point of view and practically scream soccer ;-)
BTW@Magnuslu:What confuses me is, that so far all icons created follow the soccer theme, while you are planning to implement other sports. As soon as more sports are supported, a soccer themed icon will be obsolete - right? Can you please clarify your plans here?
