This is a re-design of the fm "ContactMe" icon. Above is the eye-candy, full color version.

(No. You can’t use this icon. But you can look at it. Right here.)

It’s supposed to be a guy, talking on the phone, using a wireless headset. We had a problem with the first (1.0) version, because people could not recognize what it was supposed to be, when shrunk down to a tiny, doodad size, like you would use on a Web page.

As a neo-cubist piece, I think it’s pretty animated. The best one yet? At this point, I probably put in more time creating neo-cubist icons than most people put in doodling with pencil and paper.

Cut up icon

As told by Martin Lindstrom in Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy
a smashable brand is one that you can still recognize, "even if it shattered into a hundred pieces." Like a Coke bottle. Or an iPod. So, I thought it would be interesting to see if you could still recognize the icon, even if I cut it up with a pair of scissors. Do you still recognize the brand?

Icon wallpaper

This is what the icon looks like as wallpaper on a hand-held device. Pictured is a first generation iPod Touch, but it gives you an idea of what it might look like on an iPhone 3G. You’ll get that postponed iPhone delivery on Friday, after its available retail.
