SlideShowPro News

04.18.05 | New SlideShowPro icon

SlideShowPro has a new look. I came to the conclusion after producing the new iPhoto plugin that SlideShowPro would really benefit from an icon. Not just any icon, but an icon built to be used at multiple sizes in OS X and XP, work with the existing logotype, and be replicable in some way for the component's icon in Flash. It needed to fit into the existing style of the site, communicate photography and multimedia, but not be too obvious (i.e. a couple of 35mm slides). I was going to produce one myself, but I decided I was too close to the product and everything around it, and really needed a fresh pair of eyes to tackle it.

So with thanks to the brilliant Josh Williams and Firewheel Design, who have produced a number of fantastic operating system icons (both free and through their stock icon biz) we have a winner. Click on the icon to see it on both a white and black background. This identity will slowly work its way around the site and of course be used in all upcoming projects.
