KUAREL

G13Design | Thu, 01/05/2012 - 05:06

Brief from client 

What 3 things would you like to communicate to your audience through your icon design?
1. Kuarel = Quarrel / Fight / Argument / Dispute / Competition
2. Fun
3. Social

This will be a social media app where people can put up 2 sides of an argument and other people vote on it.

I thought the double/overlapped speech bubble conveyed what their app was about pretty well. Bold type face to convey the argumentative aspect.

Let me know what you think-
thanks,
-G13:.

This is a tough one.
I don't think this overlapping speech bubbles work.
The whole thing does not look as fun, it somehow looks very sterile and uninviting.
I would definitely think about a different approach and try to make icon & 'quarrel' look more playful.

"As I found out- the speech bubble is overdone- Another TV station (at least one major) is using it- Bravo." -G13

I think you can avoid the Chat Bubbles with this, try other ways of doing this. I see the concept of the chat bubbles and "quarrel" going on but if you posted and knew about the bubbles being overused, i would've tried a different approach. my opinion. you definitely can be playful with the type.

Yeah- I knew that would get brought up ; )-
I almost quoted myself in the description- but let it fly----

I thought it was different enough that it worked in this case.

That's why it's posted here - to be critiqued. If I was certain it was successful it wouldn't be here....You and Splash are definitely correct in it's lack of playfulness. I should have gone the other way with the type. Should have slept on it too- I realized it was the wrong font in the morning : P -

Thanks for the comment. I'll post a new version soon.
Cheers.

Reminds me of a Venn Diagram.

I don't know but if you want to bring (A)Competition, (B)Fun, and (C)Social you could represent it with a Venn Diagram.That would be (A U B U C)

So you intersect Competition, Fun, and Social to find common ground

Just a crazy idea.

I mean, use the bubbles like Venn diagrams.
