you've strategically hit upon the logo & icon portfolio and blog of UK logo designer Graham Smith — the original Logo Smith since '86.
One of a few design styles for the upcoming Sifter application icon for iPhone & iTouch. Also looking at flat colour opposed to the wood texture direction.
The initial S will sit centrally within the dark inset of the icon which has a black rubber edging/seal around the beveled opening/hole.
This is more about tactile dimension that untouchable hyper-realism.
This is more about an icon that just looks like you could interact with it: like poke your finger in the hole and wiggle it around underneath the wooden top.
More updates of this project to come soon.
Need a iPhone or Mobile App Icon?
Have to say I really do enjoy the icon side of my job. If you are looking for a icon designed for your mobile application then I would love to hear from you. I have only designed a few ‘live’ app icons to date: Extensis FontFuse & Feedly, but hope those examples show you what I can craft.

Have to say I’m not a big fan of wood grain, but these are nice. Still like the orange ones better. Hope you’ll post the finished icon.
Wood has it’s place, but I agree that it’s not always appropriate. In this case the actual web application does, and has already had a wood grain as it’s header graphic for a few years. So we are looking at the best option for continuity sake, and that means also looking at flat colours… Will def post the chosen icon.
