Guys and gals, thanks for your honest concerns expressed here. I'm totally aware that Apple might reject this icon, in which case I will just go and buy the second-best design.
So far, I really love my fox in a washing machine and willing to stand by it. :D
well guyz, its up to contest holder and the designer to deal with safari and mozilla... cheers!
Well done. Don't want to sound jealous, but there is a thing known as copyright. I think that Safari and Mozilla may have a slight problem with the use of their trademarks. I was actually about to submit when I saw this. Think I will save my design for when this icon has been rejected by Apple.

Hope you have fun dealing with Mozilla, Google & Apple. This was fun.
"very hard to beat" concept indeed.
Won't you have copyright problems adding parts of the Firefox and Safari icons into this?
that's firefox copyrighted... goodluck!
Hey everyone. After thinking about the designs and conducting a poll among LiveReload newsletter subscribers, I've decided to pick Akhil as a winner. I know the contest is not over yet, and we haven't finished putting the final polish on the icons, but I want to save the time of everyone else, because Akhil's icon is based on a very powerful idea, and would be very hard to beat.
The design by Sathya Buana is great too, and is number two in this contest. In fact it inspired me to push the 'live' part. Just wanted to give a thumbs up to this designer.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I loved working with all of you. If you want a free copy of LiveReload, please email me at andreyvit@me.com. Thanks again!
Here are the Mac OS X Icon Design Guidelines entirely: http://cl.ly/3G3Z3H0j1v070F3Z0y0h (downloadable PDF, no registration required). Or here it is on the web if you don't mind registering / logging in: http://developer.apple.com/library/…mages.html
I've just reread it btw, and it says 1024x1024 icon is also required. So the winning design will need to provide 1024x1024 as well. Hope it's not an issue?
Regarding lightning for the icons, here's an excerpt from the Apple Icon Guidelines: http://cl.ly/0L2i3C241O0i0R1j3H2p
And a bonus one: http://cl.ly/0a3w242D2g3g1J092H26
Once the winner is picked, with his permission, I will gladly credit him as the author of the icon on the application's about page.
Another idea from the same guy: http://cl.ly/1v1P0S1M2C2A3n0G063Q
Note that it something would have to be added to this one to make it look good in Dock. And, again, I'm not saying you should use these ones. Only do it if you like them.
