I wont show the features yet since its not released but its basically a better version of this:

Instead of a basic calculator it does more complex algebraic operations on your handwriting. The title of the app is "Handwritten Algebra Calculator".(DO NOT use the title in the icon) I have a pretty good prototype that I need a nice icon for. I don't know any graphic designers, so I would like to just try this contest out. The requirements for the icon:
  • Made at a minimum resolution of 64x64. Both the width and height must be a power of 2 (128/64) I will need it big enough so that I can have it available for all screen densities.
  • Keep the color scheme simple and professional. (Dont use the whole rainbow). I would prefer no blue. (blue/grey is the color scheme used by myscript, I don't want people getting confused)
  • YOU have to have made the graphic, and accept that I will be the owner of it if you enter it in the contest.

The app has no other graphics involved, so thats why I don't have a graphic designer working with me. I am open to all styles of icons, and the shape doesn't matter (Circular/Rounded Corners/ Perfect Square).

Prizes:
I am giving the following steam keys to the winner (if anyone enters that is):
  • Darksiders
  • Red Faction: Armageddon
  • Metro 2033
  • Company Of Heroes + Opposing Fronts + Tales of Valor
  • Red Faction: Path to War DLC
  • Titan Quest
  • Warhammer 40000
  • Jonestown
  • Torchlight

As well as 600 caps in game.

All others who enter will get 300 caps as long as it is evident you made some sort of effort.

Deadline: February 22

If only 1 person enters, you WILL get all the prizes as long as it is evident you made an effort.

I am not guaranteeing that the winner's icon will be used either.

Also, if I like your work I may end up offering you future graphic design tasks which will be PAID.

Thanks to anyone who enters, I understand I look like a fool for not being able to make an icon :)

Will this be a free or a paid app?
Also, quite a nice cheap logo for you...
And I hope it will be on android, would be fun to test and I like myscript calculator
 
I am not a technical person so just for education's sake (uh no not education) what do you mean by height and width being a power of two?
 
2 to the power of something. 2 to the power of 4 is 16. 2 to the power of 5 is 32. 2 to the power of 6 is 64. So the height and width would be 64x64. Astrae it will be on android but I wont be responsible for releasing it. It started off as a prototype for some artificial intelligence :)
 
Had nothing better to do and didn't want to sleep yet, so this is what I made at 5:11 in the morning:

Edit: AC stands for Algebra calculator, not AssaultCommand lol, didn't notice until I posted it.
 
Awesome Assault! I find it really funny how the letters worked out LOL. Great entry!
 
I threw together a couple just to fill in time :)

This is how this one is meant to look

But uploading it in CMYK turned out differently

And then this one

I wasn't too sure of which icons to use, but what the hey, as long as I stop AC from defaulting those prizes :P
 
Eaten exporting is CYMK will always look strange on screen as it is designed for print rather than screen. Though I do prefer the colours on that one =]

I love the creativity. You turned my vagueness into art!!! Yennage didn't use rounded corners though, so i cant seriously consider his entry.
