New Proposed Icon Design for Cool Reader
Here’s my design icon for Cool Reader, an open source app.
About the App
Cool Reader app is free and open source. It is available in android and windows version.
Proposed Versus Official Icon
In making my proposed icon, I also used a book but it is closed and captured the front view, using the color in the cover of the original icon. I added reading glasses to symbolize the word cool at the same time as a tool in reading.
Concept
A new object, the spectacles have been added, then I also used a closed book.
Color Variations and Color Codes
I choose to use the original color that shows in the official icon. Then I picked four more colors for more choices.
One Color Variation

Proof of Works
Icon Sizes for Android
192x192 pixels
144x144 pixels
Icon with text and sizes
512x512 pixels
256x256 pixels
640x154 pixels
1280x308 pixels
Fonts Style Use
The font style I use in the presentation is "AR JULIAN".
Benefits/Improvement
This design will be another concept in refining the icon. I introduced a new object which is the spectacles in the creation of my proposed icon while maintaining the color of the book cover used in the official icon. I also provided vector files so anyone can reproduce or edit the proposed icon.
Tools
I used the Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 in the creation of this new icon as well as the presentation.
### Original Files Here are the links of the files I used in creating the design. I provided adobe illustrator available export formats. [Sharable link](https://drive.google.com/open?id=12uv6GNp-Px3a2iX0LIzr9fOGufj_NUOm) All files and presentation materials I used in this design are all originally created by me.
Comments which can improve my work are all welcome.
Thank you for taking time to view my design.
Have a great day!
