Our designer gave us 4 alternatives:<p>http://i.imgur.com/WV7sklD.png?1<p>We were going to use the last icon before the iOS7 redesign came. The first tree are redesigns of the original icon with different level of flatness.<p>Training routines are a central theme on the app, hence the clipboard and the paper sheet on the icon.<p>The MT stands for MyTraining (www.mytraining.pro).<p>What's your favorite version?
First: Lacks uniqueness<p>Second: Nice iOS7 feel and has a brand<p>Third: New age feel, strong brand, not as iOS7y<p>Fourth: Old school, too shiny, spam app looking<p>I'd go with the second from left as first choice and my second choice would be the third from left.
The last two are too "plastic" for me. The first two seem nice, I'd guess I prefer the first, because the second doesn't seem to fit in with the other ios7 icons.<p>Sorry to not agree with the rest and thus create a gap lol :P
I agree with other comments, the first two, second is probably best.<p>However, I don't think most people will get the clipboard to training analogy. Clipboards mean much more than that to most people I think, so why go with that at all?
I like the sizing and composition of 2.<p>But one strength in 3-4 is contrast. The eye tends to gravitate to contrast, and I feel like the black in 3-4 gives the icon more punch.
The second. The first is too undetailed and vague, and the last two are too heavy and overdetailed for iOS7. The second conveys the sense of a clipboard but is light and balanced.
