I'd love your input on these icons!!
Added 2021-03-10 20:07:24 +0000 UTCHi friends!! I'm in the midst of designing the icons for the $2 tier reward for this month, but I'm a bit stuck...this is my first time designing icons like this, and I can't decide if I want to do thicker black outlines for a more traditional "icon" look?? if that makes any sense, I'm thinking of the item icons from Paper Mario 2 as a specific inspiration point!! i mean look how well done these are:
So, I'm debating between the thicker black outline, or going with a colored outline...or maybe I should combine the two where the outer line is black, but any interior linework is colored. HRM please let me know what you think !!

2021-03-11 00:51:25 +0000 UTCI love the one with the coloured outline, but I think that having the black outline makes it more visible! I love each of them really...

2021-03-11 00:42:27 +0000 UTCHey! I think they're both really cute, but definition-wise I think the one with a more distinctive outline is better suited for an icon (it makes it stand out more). Also, the thicker darker outline (regardless of the color, notice how the mario icons' outline color sometimes vary but it's mostly from black to another dark color) would give your icons a more cohesive look overall :)

2021-03-10 23:57:47 +0000 UTCI like the colored outline more, but black outline would be the one I'd go for use, it's better visible

2021-03-10 21:32:28 +0000 UTCI think thick outline of any colour will help the icons stand out from people’s desktop screensavers. You could have a thick white outline almost like the “cutlines” around your stickers!

2021-03-10 21:28:24 +0000 UTCThese are adorable! Def a fan of the thicker outline.

2021-03-10 20:55:08 +0000 UTCI really love both!! But I do love the coloured lines, it's more true to your style! : )

2021-03-10 20:54:46 +0000 UTCi like the colored outline because it seems more *on brand* with your art!! but mayb a lil thicker to make it pop :)

2021-03-10 20:54:04 +0000 UTCI prefer the colored outlines but the icon doesn’t pop as much. What if you went with thicker colored lines?
Grace Martin
2021-03-10 20:31:19 +0000 UTCI think the coloured line is very cute!

Julie Birge
2021-03-10 20:14:53 +0000 UTCI like the idea of the outer line being thick and black, and any inner line work being colored.
Bex Nissen
2021-03-10 20:14:14 +0000 UTClove the thicker line!!!!! feels very 90s microsoft
anna bee
2021-03-10 20:12:45 +0000 UTCLove the colored lines but I'd love to see the outline be a bit thicker.
Tacoroach
2021-03-10 20:12:23 +0000 UTCThey both look really good, but I like the colored outline a little more!
Lili
2021-03-10 20:12:14 +0000 UTCMaybe a third, thick colored outline option? The thickness makes the different sections pop, but I think the color outline looks the best
Sam Urena
2021-03-10 20:11:03 +0000 UTCI definitely like the thicker outline. Makes it feel more like a "clickable" icon than the thinner one.
Porter
2021-03-10 20:10:54 +0000 UTCI think I prefer the dark outline for sure! I like how the details are Not darken like the lil sparkles on the strawberry.
Roseann Rosillo
2021-03-10 20:10:33 +0000 UTCAesthetically I like the thinner line but I think the thicker outline will read better as an outline
Victoria
2021-03-10 20:10:28 +0000 UTCOMG so cute! Yes to colored outlines says I! 👩🏻🎨
Marlee
2021-03-10 20:10:25 +0000 UTCThe colored outline is so cute! Maybe a little thicker like the Mario icons!
Anahi Florez
2021-03-10 20:10:13 +0000 UTCTo me the colored line one looks best :)
ghoulboss
2021-03-10 20:10:09 +0000 UTClove the idea of coloured inside and black outline! ❤️
Emma Sewell
2021-03-10 20:10:06 +0000 UTCI think the thick lines definitely help it stand out more!!
OJ
2021-03-10 20:10:05 +0000 UTCI think the black outline will help the icons pop a little more against the desktop. I do like the idea of outer lines black and interior linework colored though (like with the right strawberry icon).
Cata Mari
2021-03-10 20:09:56 +0000 UTCAH I have to say colored outlines. Black isn't bad, just personally not a fan
Eileen Morley
2021-03-10 20:09:45 +0000 UTCI think the thick outline ensures that it’ll stand out against any background!

2021-03-10 20:09:30 +0000 UTCI would love to see how it would be combined, I think it would look so rad!!!
Nubia Gonzalez
2021-03-10 20:09:28 +0000 UTCI like the thick outline better, but honestly they are both cute and I would be thrilled to use either❤️
Megan Beretta
2021-03-10 20:09:27 +0000 UTCi like the thicker outline with the yellow sparkles !
Bucky
2021-03-10 20:09:23 +0000 UTCcombine the two where the outer line is black, but any interior linework is colored !! love that idea !
trisha hartley
2021-03-10 20:09:23 +0000 UTCi kinda like the thicker black outline!
Finlay
2021-03-10 20:09:22 +0000 UTCI vote for the black outer line and colored inner line option, best of both worlds!!
Cass
2021-03-10 20:09:22 +0000 UTCthe thicker outline makes it pop! it would look really nice on busy desktop wallpapers. :3
