Been messing around today with VectorDesigner, trying to figure out all its quirks and make a decent icon. Here's what I have so far:
Not bad, eh? I'm sure I'll change it a few more times before I launch, but I think this looks pretty cool, and very "Apple" for now. It was a nice break today to work on graphics instead of code, but honestly most of my time was trying different vector programs out. I think I went through five different "free trials" before deciding to stick with VectorDesigner (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vectordesigner/id402376701?mt=12). It had all the features I need for now, and didn't have the poor reviews that all the others seemed to have. It's no Illustrator, but it will do for now.
