App icon for photo bidding app called Pica

albisoft

The business will be developing mobile phone applications for the mass market - the kind that is downloaded and paid for and will be opened to the public.

We are looking for an icon for an app where people will be bidding for and buying photos taken by the public. Designers are free to come up with their own original ideas. This icon will be the launcher on Android, IOs etc and will also be used as favicon, social media pages and corporate websites. Must communicate a feel of the following at first glance: photo, money, happiness - and should be mobile friendly and distinct. Thank you!

Added brief: Hello all, a lot of you have come up with something that looks like pinterest, instagram or the standard camera Icon, please try to steer of these because of legal issues. Just to give extra ideas, you may base it on an eye, a portrait picture on a wall, or the old school camera - try to google "old camera" or "retro camera" and click on images to get some inspiration, or even a flash, camera lens etc you are free to go a bit broader. Thanks all!

Added: Also guys, it doesn't have to be based on the name Pica - feel free to come up with proposals. Thanks again!

Added: Hello all, thank you for all the proposals, really appreciate. After consideration, the team doesn't like the dollar sign ($) on the icon. Those who have it please re-submit without the symbol for consideration. Thank you!

Also we are looking for the app icon for Pica, not the corporate logo of Albisoft. Thanks.

From other contents, the team seem to like the minimalistic look so it may be a good idea to give a minimalistic option to any designs that you may submit.
