It’s about time to get some custom icons for Avelon, so I’m hosting this chill little competition to pick the very first one!

To join, simply reply to this post with your icon suggestion. The highest upvoted image by the end of this week will be added to the app as the very first community icon. Anyone can join - no need for artistic skills!

To keep the competition fair (and Apple-compliant), there’s just a feeew rules:

Icon Competition Rules

  • One image per comment
    • If you have multiple suggestions, post each in a separate comment
    • Max 3 suggestions per person
  • No NSFW/questionable content
    • If the icon is rejected by Apple I’ll try the next most upvoted one
  • Icons must be original works
    • No brand lookalikes etc. as I don’t wanna get in trouble. I need the rights to use it for the app!
  • No comment-edits
    • The images people vote on must remain the same from the time you post it

Remember that icons must be squares with no transparency or “drawn” rounded corners. I’ll also need a 1024x1024 resolution version if you win!

The competition ends this Sunday (September 24th) at 21:00 UTC (5PM ET)!

Naming Competition

I recommend joining even if you’re not a great artist, but if you can’t draw and still wanna join there’s also a naming competition.

  • Reply to any icon with a name suggestion to join
    • No profane/nsfw names or names longer than a few words
  • The highest upvoted name suggestion for the winner will appear underneath the icon in the App!
  • The creator of an icon can’t also suggest a name - that’d be no fun

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with! Good luck!

      I could probably make a high res vector version pretty easily, if anyone wants it.

      Here are the rest of the images if anyone cares: https://imgur.com/a/5Hn2VNl

      I think this one is pretty good. I think the middle line of the A should be longer though, and am a little confused on the jagged line on the inner part of the right line of the A. I think if it retained more of an A shape and had the mountain theme filled in like you have it, that would be great. Just my thoughts.
