    Many thanks for all your submissions everyone; it wasn't easy to pick a winner because there were several top designers.

    Congrats to Tourcat as the winner!

    Maxeendra, danilux. I found myself not in the mood for design. Maybe that because i am still adapting with new environment around me. Especially this breezing weather that keeps my hands away from moving the mouse :). Wish you luck guys! Great design!

    Contest extended by one day to give designers sufficient time to respond to a bunch of feedback I've just left.

    A winner will be crowned tomorrow, (Tuesday evening UK time).

    Thanks to everyone for all your work so far,
    Lee.

    @minii: Hi, I'm pretty sure that's a vector icon and I made my icon with a pixel grid manually, Plus i always choose the shape and color of the icon from pictures of real objects and there are no multiple ways of depicting a briefcase shape, Hope that clears your doubts.

    @ocp:Hi mate, it's been a while :)

    Hi minii,

    Thanks for the feedback but I have to side with ocp and danilux on this one; the concept may be the same but the artwork is clearly completely different.

    Regards,
    Lee.

    But the shape is different. If we're talking about music, then the similarities are not more than 8 bars. If its the color you're talking about, its almost certain that most briefcases are brown aren't they? Or maybe your suggestion is a circular pink briefcase? :)

    when i'll participate this contest, i look the Danilux designs (ex #3 ).. and then i try to googling with keyword briefcase icon..
    http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/…e-icon.jpg
    its too similar..
    i dont know what this contest about..
    just to include the icon (from searching in google / googling) or make the own icon..
    sorry for Danilux.. just discuss..
    :)

    Thanks everyone for your submissions so far; just 2 days of the contest left now.

    Based on the designs submitted so far I can say that neutral colours are working very well, and I'm very much appreciating people submitting the 16x16 designs "in context" on the facebook application panel.

    Be careful not to use facebook's own logos as part of your design; unfortunately I forgot to mention this is in the initial draft of the brief but have since amended it. The "developer terms of service" prevent me from using them without first gaining Facebook's explicit written permission, (which I think they are unlikely to grant).

    Thanks,
    Lee.
