Logo and main app icon for Budget Buddy a Windows Phone app.

Preferrably No text in logo, but could use app tiitle: "Budget Buddy"

Track your spending so you can spend less and save more!

No

This logo will be the main app icon for the "Budget Buddy" - a mobile app for Windows Phone. The app is a personal finance spending tracker and budget manager. The goal of the app is to help people easily track and analyze their spending habits so they can see where and how they spend their money. This will help them target where they can reduce spending and save. You can see the app here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/budget-buddy/baa325fc-9b09-413e-9089-be1028380bbc

It is important for the logo to be consistent with the Windows 8 and Windows Phone "Metro" or "Modern UI" style. The icon can have colors but there must be a monochrome version as well.

I have not settled on a color palate - so I'm open here. I would like to avoid green though as many personal finance apps use this color. Also this new app icon will serve as the basis for a whole new UI redesign of the app so the color palate of the icon will be the basis for the new UI palate and design. I do like a blue, gray, tan or gold combo though - but again I'm open here.

The official app page in the store is here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/budget-buddy/baa325fc-9b09-413e-9089-be1028380bbc

The main problem with the current app icon is that I have no monochrome version so its difficult to incorporate the app icon within the app itself on say a live tile for example. On Windows Phone live tiles can and should incorporate the individual users color preference which can be a wide array of background colors and the app icon should appear nicely on all color backgrounds. Thus a white monochrome version of the icon is important.

Also, I want to completely redesign the app itself around the new icon by incorporating the icons color palate and including it on each page's header so this is an important thing to consider as well.

    Hi Everyone, Feel free to use different color combinations. I notices that the blue and gray is a bit muted while the black and yellow really pops and stands out. Thanks!

    Attention Designers!! MycroBurst permits you to submit unlimited designs with unlimited variations. However, if you are providing 2 or 3 different color versions of the same logo in one draft, please make sure that if the particular draft gets finalized, each color version should be separated before you will send the final files. Thanks, MB/LDG/LS Team

    One other thing I forgot to mention in the project brief - please try not to use specific currency symbols in the logo like the US Dolor symbol "$". The app has international users and I would like to keep the logo as broadly appealing as possible. If you do use specific currency symbols try to include more that one to indicate the fact that the app can be used internationally. Thanks!
