From our eyes in the skies to our pixels on our screens, UAV drones have dramatically changed the Military’s methods of gaining intelligence. What that has to do with the pixel half of this analogy, we don’t know. But… when was the last time you saw an icon designed for the Navy look this pretty?
Big props to our homey, Sherwin Schwartzrock, for the original sketches. He’s good.
How do you create a simple icon to represent a generic physical sensor depicting one in a multitude of shapes and sizes? Easy. Draw a box, put some fancy tape around it, and stick an old-school radio antenna on top! Voilà!
This icon will be used in a web app and represent devices all over the world relaying everything from sound, vibration and location to you name it.
Just in case you have a handful of gears, er… sprockets, you might want to keep them in the new 2010 limited edition designer sprocket folder.
Cosmo G. Spacely may not approve, but hopefully it would pass inspection from George Jetson.
Little red car icon. Probably has the best turning radius of any icon we’ve produced to date.
Today we built a factory with our bare hands. Ok, that’s a lie. There was a Mac Pro involved.
If we were to produce an icon for an underground gas tank, this is what it would look like! Please note, not actual size. Next time you’re fillin’ up your rig at the gas station, one of these big old green doohickies will be nestled below the concrete you’re standing on.
Again, special thanks to fellow illustrator Sherwin Schwartzrock for the sketches!
As promised, the Panic Transmit inspired cargo truck icon. This will be just one of a series of over 60 icons to be created for an undisclosed web application. We’re working on these with the help of fellow illustrator Sherwin Schwartzrock. Can’t wait to show ya more!
Hello, world. We’re still cranking out design work nonstop, so it’s about time we start getting the blog up to date! Charpie has been contracted to develop a series of icons for a yet to be disclosed web application. We can’t say what it is, but we do have permission to showcase design work as we move forward. So, from here on out we’ll be frequently posting our latest little delicious design morsels for you to enjoy.
To help us speed up the process we’re working with a good friend and extremely talented illustrator, Sherwin Schwartzrock. Sherwin is a Minneapolis-based illustrator with a great style and eye for design that says a lot in a small amount of space. Thanks, Sherwin!
The first icon in the series is a gas station. The next will be a cargo truck, which is what really inspired the entire set. Panic’s Transmit icon is well loved and being fanboys, we just couldn’t help but be inspired by their design. So we’ll give a shout out to those guys to give credit where credit is due! Speaking of which, this reminds us of this site about other Panic inspired findings. Stay tuned for more!
