I’m looking for TaskPaper icon feedback.

Sebastiaan de With has been helping me with TaskPaper for iPhone’s icon. There’s one choice per line of icons above. Take a look now and please form a first opinion.

Now for my thinking… the first idea is shown in row 4. I liked the icon, but in the end I decided that I wanted more of a “logo” look, and that I’d like to stay with the same basic TaskPaper for Mac shape, with some modifications to the “check”.

The next option was row 2, I love the clean edges and overall look, but initially the dark background seemed to make it look smaller then a standard iPhone icon. I’m not really sure if that’s the case now that I’m looking at it again.

Row 3 added more highlight so that it would stand out from the background more.

Row 1 changes things to red to keep things consistent with the Mac app color. If I choose one of the darker versions I’ll eventually update the Mac icon to match.

Any and all thoughts welcome, though I’m pretty sure that row 4 is out.

Update

Comments (lots on twitter too) are pushing me to line 2. Also, please note that these are just quick sketches, a total of a few hours of work, and line 1 was me modifying the photoshop file. Also I was pretty specific in my request, I wanted a really simple icon, and not something representational. I just want to protect Sebastiaan de With here… he was under some big constraints :) These are some of his more “normal” icons.

Thanks

That was a lot of quick feedback, thanks! I’m going with line 2. Lots of reasons to go with or against each possibility, but line 2 says “simple/clean” loudest to me, and that’s what TaskPaper’s all about. Thanks again!
