Everything you need to move to development is here. Your app icon or button design will be delivered in the specified file formats, typically a layered RGB Adobe Photoshop or Fireworks PNG file, ready for upload.
Since not everyone has the necessary design software to open these files (though your developer will), we also provide web preview files in PNG or JPEG formats.
Additionally, you’ll receive full legal copyright, ensuring the design is entirely yours.
What do I need to prepare for my Icon or Button Design?
So many ideas! If you need inspiration, check out ideahits for amazing examples of icons and buttons created by our talented design community.
Provide as many details as possible, including dimensions, design preferences, brand information, images, and any other specifications that will influence your design.
The more information you give our designers, the better they can create the perfect icons and buttons for you!
Should I run a Design or work directly with a freelance designer?
In a design, designers from around the globe submit unique concepts based on your brief. You select finalists, provide feedback to refine the designs, and ultimately choose your favorite icon as the winner. If you value ideation and exploring various design styles, we recommend a design.
However, if you have a clear vision for your icon design or if your project is more complex, it’s best to work directly with a freelance designer.
What if i have need additional icon or button size/types?
Your custom icon design contest includes one winning icon or button. If you need additional icons for another app or extra buttons for a different item in a product family, you have several options: you can award multiple winners, run a second contest, or start a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer to create the extra assets.
Can I use my images in my design?
Yes. If you have any specific images, such as a logo, that need to be included in your icon or button design, please provide them to the designers along with your brief.
Who owns what copy write and when?
On ideahits, designers commit to submitting only original artwork, meaning they retain the rights to their designs until you select a contest winner. During the design handover stage, the designer transfers the rights to you, making you the copyright owner of your winning button or icon design.
Can I work with my designer once my design ends?
Absolutely (and we love when that happens)! Once your button or icon design is complete, you can start a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer.
Which package should I choose for my icon or button design?
We guarantee you’ll receive an excellent button or app icon at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages offer more design options and enhanced support.
Here’s how it works: paying more increases the prize for the winning designer, attracting more experienced designers to your contest. This results in a greater variety of high-quality designs for you to choose from. With more options to review, our Gold and Platinum packages provide dedicated managers to help streamline the process by writing creative briefs and offering feedback to designers.
When selecting your icon or button contest package, consider the time you can commit and your experience in writing briefs and working with designers. If you’re still unsure, contact us for a design consultation.
