Brief Summary

Wyzo is looking for a new software icon and matching logo for their popular browser.

The current icon has served well during the alpha stage of the software, but is rather bland and simplistic compared to their competitors (Firefox, Safari, Flock, IE, ...). Wyzo is looking for an exciting, creative icon that should integrate beautifully with the desktops of their thousands of users. We're also looking for a matching text-logo for the website.

For more information about Wyzo, check out their website on: http://www.wyzo.com/

    are you looking for something real creative or just a nice logo?
    because there are so many 'software', 'internet' logos possible..

    anything personal in it? like a philosophy, things that are interesting to you? this would allow something special..

    Any feedback would be nice, especially now that there are so many entries, it would truly aid all the designers.

    We're afraid that none of the submissions so far meet our requirements, especially in regards to the application icon.

    Below is a couple of links to icon's used by our competitors, which are in our opinion, a lot more defined and suited as an application icon than any of the submissions so far. Hope it helps you all to come up with new ideas and concepts.

    Examples of Good Browser Icons:

    Unfortunately it's not fast or easy to create something which fits this kind of illustration. Probably the designers are working on new icons to show on the next days. I am doing this :)

    Greetings Radfactory :

    give those designer a hint for "What Dose Wyzo Means" ???
    is it a word for something ? i felt like its kind of sound effect for something pass you by "wyzzzooooooo" ????

    you don't need to say :i want it like our competitors ,, cuse those logos been sketched on a mood board, and we can't offer you that here ,so why
    don't you give us that mood and make it easier on you and the designer ??

    and Wyzo is a web browser based on Firefox, dose that means you are looking for a familiar mood ??

    they say Great logos comes from understandable brief

    Best Regards
    Steve

    I don't think the logo should be linked with Firefox, but more to differentiate from it. I'm not making any judgement on ulahts entry, but only on BTL Media's comment.

    Agree to FleZ and Kabutar, we do like the logo though. But the big issue with it right now is that it is too similar to Firefox.

    BTL Media:
    Wyzo is looking for an icon that reflects the fact that it is a browser aimed at giving people a better media experience.
