Create a CAD inspired icon-set for BRL-CAD website

Create a CAD inspired icon-set for BRL-CAD websiteBRL-CAD

Status: ClosedTime to complete: 72 hrs Mentors: SeanTags:

BRL-CAD's new website design uses lot of icons. It would be great if these icons have the look and feel of CAD/CAM in it.

So the task consists of making an icon set including icons for:

All the menu buttons (About,Downloads,Documentation,Community, Blog, Gallery)
Sign-Up Log-In icons
Major Social Media Icons

Few things to keep in mind:

All icons should somehow adopt the look and feel of CAD.
They all should be in PNG/AI/SVG format.
The icons need not be complexed or textured, though long shadowed flat icons would be appreciated.

Luke, what can you tell me about your icon set? Why'd you pick those particular icons vs so many possibilities?

Luke Blueon November 21 2013 06:53 UTCicon description

The first four icons of social media are designed with keeping in mind there logo's and colors as they can be easily identified.

The next set of icons are in two colors pink and dark-grey. This is because in BRL-CAD website(http://cpp-tricks.com/brlcad/) most of the buttons are in pink and text is in dark-grey so pink and dark-grey icons would go with the them of website.

All the icons are flat and have long shadow. The flatness gives it simplicity which makes it easy to view and the long shadow's gives it a 3D look. Combining thses two gives it simlple yet professional look and feel.

Thank You.

Thanks for the answers to my questions. Nice work.

If you join the brlcad-news mailing list, you'll see future announcements where your work will eventually be unveiled with credit to you. You'll also be added to our authorship documentation if/when your icons get put to use (if you provide your full name, we'll use that). Of course, you may see them on the website eventually too.
