Mobile App Icon for Beluga Books

Beluga AR

No

This design is for our a Mobile App icon related to Beluga Books, The application name is Beluga AR. Beluga Books is a publisher of fun interactive adventure books for kids. Our logo is a frontward view of a Beluga whale with his tail above his head. The tail represents a book with spread open pages. See, www.belugabooks.com for the logo.

Beluga Whales are white, current our Beluga had a different shades of blue in his tail. Blue is good, other colors are fine also, it does need to stand out on a mobile phone. Again see, www.belugabooks.com. Our current logo is pretty flat looking, so some shading would be great and is something we are really looking for, we need it to pop when you see it.

not sure

The word Beluga does not need to be a part of the icon, I would like the letters AR to be included. The letters need to be together in context, vs. separated on either side of the Beluga Logo.

Also, I am open to designs that don't just look like a square button with a logo inside.

    I did pick a winner, loved everyones ideas. And getting some questions about why I picked the one I did. It came down to some comments about liking our logo but it being too flat. The winner took that advice and added some very tastefull shading to bring ti to life and make it pop. Since this was for a mobile app logo we had to keep it simple and it had to look good when it was really small. The winning designer did both. Thanks again to everyone. Jim

    Getting close, one additional note that I just learnded that all corrners should be at 90 degrees with no rounding for iphone & ipad icons. The iOS platform actually applies the rounding.

    Again some great work coming in today. I actually spent a about an hour looking at mobile app icons today and concluded that text really does not work since most icons appear so small on your phone. So please don;t worry about getting the word Beluga on to the icon. Let's see how they look with just the letters AR in the lower right corner. Again try and make the logo as large as you can on your icon button. And think about this as square oriented design not a reqtangle. To get a better feel look at the app icons in the Apple app iPhone store or the Android market. Thanks for the hard work, and look forward to seeing any new designs.

    Also feel free to clean up the logo some, I do like the blue shades in the tail but if you think brighter or more contrast would work better with your design and make the image pop more that is fine also.

    Some good designs, would like to see submissions with and without a square button. And the ones with a background buttons, try and make the image as large as possible. If text is involved, please think about using a font that is fun and readable. But not too corporate looking. It is not the focus of the icon. The icon needs stand out among the others. It is more about the image than the text. So I am on the fence with it, but definitely like seeing all the ideas.
