Feedback on Generic Icon

[SupieUp]

What’s up? It’s SupieUp! Since I’m mainly focused on digital 2D art at the moment, I feel that I haven’t really been working on icons. Just recently I made this one as a warm up. Any suggestions?

Yes, I know it doesn’t look original in design, I myself would probably rate it a 3/10 in that area.

Looks great!! Keep it up and you will be more better!

Looks epic! I definitely understand what you mean by unoriginal design. My friend, @GubbyPlayzz, made these a while back:

Happy designing,

If you made the castle, i would rate it 9/10
The one point because of the overused font It looks like grobold if i am wrong im sorry.

[Acr1t1cal]

Looks decent, but actually nothing interesting.

[SupieUp]

Yes it is grobold, I was told by a friend to use it, can you recommend me any other fonts I can use?

I like this alot, but maybe you should give the towers (the ones with red roof) a darker color than the castle so they stand out more. It might not be original, but this actually look amazing, so be proud of yourself. Good luck!

Looks great, I definitely like the cartoony aspect of it.

[SupieUp]

Awh, thank you. I think I feel a bit more confident of the design thanks to you. I appreciate your feedback!

[ICALLREQQZ]

It looks good!

Obviously, there are always ways to improve a design. For example, the font could be changed to something more original.

There also is no contrast between the background and the text, you could accomplish this by changing the color of the text/background.

Lastly very small thing but you can see the pixels clearly, maybe up the resolution a little bit. But this is no huge thing.

Nice Art, it might not be a super original Idea but clients usually want stuff like this.

Im not expert in fonts.
Just look at some free font sites. Find the ones that fit to the logo.

Alright. I’ll leave this 2 posts over here since both can be pretty helpful for you:

@DavidNet22

I need to be honest since you are looking for constructive criticism. Some people just post in thia category to receive replies like: “Awesome” or “good job”; but I will give you my opinion.

I really think that you just took some images from Google and put them all in the same file so they looked good. I will say that’s a pretty common practice and almost all Graphic Designers started like that (including me).

BUT, the fact that you say tou made this by yourself really grab my attention. The background is pretty generic, the icons are pretty easy to find on Google and you just added some text to it. That is not a good icon.

However, as you are starting in this thing I have some advices to help you grow:

• Learn to use vector programs such as Illustrator or Gimp to create the icons
• If you use anything for reference from the internet, be sure to say it when you present your icon
• Keep practicing, that is the best way to keep getting better.

Free helpful softwares and tools for developers!

As a new developer, there were many obstacles in my way to create new an amazing game. One of that obstacles was the lack of money, so in this post I’ll be showing you some of the best softwares I’ve ever used in my developer career and I would’ve like to know at the start of my journey. I will try to keep this post updated, if you have any more suggestions please comment below. I do not own any of this softwares.

Graphic Design and UI

Probably the first path most developers take is GFX…

As a final advice: Find your own style and keep practicing.

The white in between the words should be taken out, it looks weird.
