The original range of icons were from off the shelf packages and not totally relevant to the icons purpose. Plexus came to us for the solution.
The Requirement
The Plexus software was very specialised, an off the shelf package of icons would not have worked for for them.
They needed very specific iconography to visually illustrate certain actions within the Plexus software and enable the user to make easy application of all of its features. The icons also needed to look up to date with modern styles such as OS X and Vista now becoming the user interface of preference. Timescales were also key as the new version of the software and its branding was coming up, which meant that the deadline for the icons had to be met.
The Solution
We sat down with the guys at Plexus, and over a nice cup of fresh Columbian coffee went though every required icon, the task it would perform and the priority of its positioning within the software interface.
We then provided pencil sketched versions of each icon for approval. Once the concepts were approved we re-created all of the icons in 3D and supplied the final versions in three different sized formats.
