Hi all,

Worked on a new icon over the weekend based on a concept drawing submitted by one of our very talented users -- Bob aka Snowczar. His idea of using the cards as a wheel is brilliant, and we tried to keep a "sketchy" look to the icon, as we liked the concept of using Decked Builder as a tool to quickly sketch/create deck ideas.

We've enclosed the large-scale icon, as well as what you would see when it is shrunk to a smaller size on your device, below. Do let us know what you think of this new idea.

And a big thank you to Bob!

Yea, I really like the icon. The largest icon is a little pixelated (as to be expected) but I really like the concept.

I like it much better. It has this retro, saterday-morning cartoon feel to it. Very unique and interesting. One question: why does the whit card have volume when the other cards don't?

That's the deck :)

I thought it might be. Just nitpicking, but I think it would be clearer and more unified if the whit card were treated the same way the other ones are. The repetition of the cards leaves no question to what they are and what they are doing but having the whit deck flat and treated with volume could be confusing, especially at a smaller size.

Just my opinion. I still like the logo a lot. Good job. : )

I like the new logo. But agree it would look better if the white. Are we're flat as well. And I have a quick request for a future update. Would it be possible to add the ability to save our default choice in the sort options section? I personally like Others: sort by type (detailed), but always have to switch back when the app restarts. Regardless of that though, love the app.

Avacyn says that the White card should be thicker. Who are we to say that she is wrong? You tell her that its wrong. :P

I'll second Mark's request. I also use "Others: sort by type (detailed)" all of the time, and would love if I could make it the default.

On another note...
I've been meaning to say how much I like the "pinch to zoom" feature. With the HD card art, it's almost like looking at an actual card. Thanks! :-)

Coming from a graphic design background. (that and I run a mobile app company arctic empire). I just feel like your previous iterations of the logo were much better. I understand why the first cant be used but the one before this I very much liked. I'm sure you could get a variety of concepts from fiverr.com if you want differences. As going with one option and nothing to compare to is hard.
