Wordabble iPhone application icon, part 2

Wordabble iconAdam and Lindsey came up with a cool concept that Adam executed really well. It has everything an icon needs (in my opinion). It’s unique, it indicates what the application is about, and is quite aesthetically pleasing.

There are some cool things in the works like submitting scores to the servers, which means soon this thing will actually be playable in puzzle of the day mode. Since I have early access to it, I have a leg up on everyone else by having a week or so extra time!

Wordabble iPhone application icon

Wordabble IconiPhone application icons are insanely hard to make look good on a black background. Seriously. All I want is the game’s tiles on a black background and all the iPhone wants to do is layer the little transparent highlight on top of it making my tiles look like crap!

I know why I wasn’t a graphic artist in another life. I know what I want but I can’t make what I want. I just want something representative of the actual gameplay. Argh, the pain!
