So I made some designs for a new Icon for the Personalplaner.
I'm not really a good graphics designer so it took a while for me to think of some ideas and to be able to draw them.
For the drawing I used VecDraw and paint.net. paint.net is great and ideal for me because ist not too big, easy to use and most of all: it's for free.
This was also another good opurtunity for me to use and test VecDraw and see if it is really useable.
I want the Icon to show what the application is about or at least show a meaning that can be associated with it.
This was the first idea I had. It shows a P instead of the G that is contained in the original icon. But in the end this is not really an option because it doesn't look good at all...
1.
I thought something round would be nice but I discarded the idea right when I was finished:

From then on it started getting better. I made a PP instead of of only just one P. In some I tried to add a layout displaying a plan.
I think one of the following will be the new icon.

4.
5.
6.
7.
I will still try out some more things like adding a dropshadow to the letters. But basicaly I think it will be with one of the last designs.
I especialy like nr. 3, 4, 6 and 7. I am considering if it maybe should be a combination of the last 2 depending on the size of the image. You can't read much when the image is only 16x16 px...
Feel free to leave a comment adn tell me which one you favour.
Update:
I added a dropshadow and a little alpha blend to the letters because the red was too bright
