How to create icons for Supercobra

so what Happened we was commissioned to paint icons for the new Habrahabr (when he was not yet Superharem). At first we were excited, but then scared — our work will strictly evaluate all progressive habradi, many of whom are designers and people who understand the design. But we rallied and went to work. First, you need to choose the style of icons...


We started brainstorming:
— most importantly Habrahabr?
— Karma?
Juanma! Not at all! The most important thing in Habra content!


It was decided that the icons should be bright, not to do Abrahante too colorful and do not distract from the topics. This panel set the General style:



Small icons do not have shadows, but some of them have different status. Icons topics that larger, barely visible drop shadow.



Developers Habra icons liked and we continued to work. Was painted icons for blogs and companies.



Separate story deserves the "icon Hybridisation". This icon is one of the most important, it means the power of habrachelovek. The last version of Habra it was drawn by a bullet. New Gabru — new weapons! We made this bomb, which is much more powerful than the bullet.



This icon caused a great interest among Hapalidae. One thought it was mine for the mortar, others — that is the airship. Sustainable name yet, someone calls this thing "Karababa" someone "Habrahabr", and someone just "Bomb".

Next, we painted the icons for the toolbar on the create new topic:



If you increase the icon "insert image", then we can clearly see the Polaroid of an unidentified flying object, around which on habré there are many legends.



In the old metaphor Habra subscribe to the blog was the electric cord with plug. We have used this idea, but I made the icon more intuitive and merged it with the function "information on the blog."



We really enjoyed working on this project, I hope that we are able to please even the most demanding and strict hapalyam. We will be very happy to see good ideas on how to make graphics on habré even better.
