hdpi Logo (already made | png & psd)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I love to use OpenSudoku, as I think it's the best sudoku app in the Market.
However, I think the Launcher Icon is pretty ugly.

One reason is its small resolution. Most modern devices have an hdpi screen. 
According to the Icon Design Guidelines ( 
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html ), 
the Launcher Icon should have a resolution of 72x72px. The one of OpenSudoku 
only has 48x48 (= mdpi).

So, I remade the Logo, only adjusting it to the above mentioned guideline, 
trying to keep as much as possible of the original design.

I attached the png Logo and the psd file.

I would be glad if in a future release this, or something similar would be used.

Hi, I agree, this logo is really cool :-). I'm going to use it in application, 
however I can't use it in Android Market as Google requires icons to be 
512x512. Two questions:

1) Is psd a vector format or a raster one. Can it be easily resized with 
Photoshop without blurring?
2) Can psd file be opened with something other that Adobe Photoshop (I tried 
Gimp and it didn't turn up very well)?

Glad you like it.

1) PSD is the default format in Photoshop. Photoshop is an image editing 
software, hence made for editing pixels. However, it can handle vector through 
pathes.
I edited the image that now it can be resized without loss of quality.

2) PSD is a proprietary format. Gimp can open it, but like you said: Often 
there are problems with that.

Here the new PSD file and the logo in 72x72 and 512x512:

All right, there's been a little problem with the files.
Sorry for that.

Here you go:

Thanks once again, good work. I've just released new version of OpenSudoku with 
your icon.

There is one final piece of artwork missing - the promotional graphic. It's 
weird little banner, which is visible in new version of Android Market. Don't 
you want to create one? It would really help me as I lack any feel for 
aesthetics :-).

Here are official requirements from Android Market:

Promo Graphic:
180w x 120h
24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha)
Full bleed, no border in art

I tried.
If you would like to have changed something or don't like it at all, just name 
it. No problem.

Again, psd and png:
