ICON(s) for Software Product(s)
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
DESIGN CUSTOM ICON AND 3D SOFTWARE BOX
We are a software development company and we are currently working on a product that is a "suite or library" of smaller modules (programs). We require icons for each module and each icon should be different, but feel like they belong with each other -- like a family.
This idea is similar to Microsoft Office where each program in the Office Suite (e.g., Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook, etc) has its own unique icon, yet they have a similarity between them.
========================
SCOPE
========================
We are looking to have ONE icon developed for EACH module. But for this project, we would like to start with only 1 icon for our first module.
REMINDER: The icons that we will have developed for each module should look and feel like they belong as a family. Just like the icons for Word, Excel and Powerpoint look like they belong together. This is what we are looking to do as we expand our library.
==========================
USAGE
==========================
The icon will be used as a Windows Desktop icon but it will also be used in our marketing materials (e.g., website, brochures). For this reason, the graphic should NOT contain any drop shadows. The edges should be clean and crisp and should be capable of being enlarged without losing any detail.
==========================
3D SOFTWARE BOX: MODULE
==========================
Part of our marketing promotions is to showcase each module as its own 3D software box. The box will contain the name of the library (perhaps in smaller font and/or it's logo which we will provide) as well as the name of the module and its associated icon (that you will create for us). This would be like picking up a software box at the computer store for ONLY Microsoft Word -- or -- Excel -- or Powerpoint, etc.
==========================
3D SOFTWARE BOX: LIBRARY
==========================
While we are NOT able, at this time, to release to you the name of the library itself, we will require (in a next project), ONE 3D software box for the LIBRARY NAME itself with all the icons (you develop for us) shown on the box. This would be like picking up a software box at the computer store for "Microsoft Office".
=========================
PROJECT DELIVERABLES
=========================
1 x icon and 1 x 3D software box .
- We require the completed artwork in multiple formats: AI, PSD, PNG, JPG and high resolution.
Windows Desktop icon needs to be in different sizes:
16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128
===================================
GRAPHIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
===================================
- Gradients are allowed
- The icons should have a similar feel to them (e.g., they belong as a family like MS Office programs)
- Each module will have its own color(s)
- The icon will be used as a Windows Desktop icon, as well as for the above purposes already described. For this reason, you may want to design 1 version of the icon for the Windows Desktop, and another version for all other marketing (e.g., website, brochures, for use on the 3D software box).
- The icon should NOT be animated
===================================
FUTURE CONTINUATION PROJECTS
===================================
- The successful bidder will quite likely be asked to develop future icons for the same library as we continue development. We expect to release new modules every 1-3 months.
===================================
BIDDING GUIDELINES
===================================
To demonstrate that you have carefully read and understood our requirements, please provide a "detailed bid" along with the keyword "ICON4U". Your bid will be ignored if this keyword is missing! No exceptions.
- Your bid MUST cover ALL work described above.
- As a reminder, THIS project requires 1 icon (for our first module) and 1 3D software box that contains the icon you created and the module name.
