Any Todos fans out there? You might know that Todos 2.0 is in current development and will be hitting alpha pretty soon. With the new version comes a new updated icon. Right now, I am going with a design that is very derivative of the old Todos icon. In terms of the old icon, there were a few issues. Firstly, it was based off of the OS X install package icon, which made Todos look too similar to those pack files. Secondly, it is at an odd angle. The box seems to be opening weirdly. Finally, the icon was 128 x 128, which is a no-no for Leopard. We need icons in their full 512 x 512 beauty.

To solve all these problems, I’ve begun to work on a new Todos icon. I mocked up a 3D box in Illustrator and imported the vector into Photoshop to add the application icons. I’ve made a few minor tweaks to the original Todos icon concept. The box now has a bit of a texture (might not be very identifiable at 128 x 128). I’ve also reduced the number of icons and changed some of the apps that are falling out of the box. Here is the large version of my first draft:

And if you are interested, here is the 128 x 128 version as well.

If you have any suggestions for modifications to this design, I would really appreciate them. This is still a work in progress, and will be revised many times. Also, if you have a radically different idea for a logo, I would love to hear it. It could be anything, so please give it a thought. It’s not too far into development to branch out into a new design. Thanks for all of your comments.
