Hi guys! I need a high-resolution 512x512 icon that I can use for
- iOS app icon
- Website logo
Colors: InstaCalc uses a #333 background along the top of the interface which I'd like incorporated in the icon. I've tried all dark icons (see attached) but it was a little too gloomy / serious.
The philosophy is
- Fast / Lightweight (instant results)
- Easy (not a spreadsheet! One column, BIG fonts, natural language)
- Playful (doesn't take itself too seriously)
Something evoking these ideas would be nice: friendly, engaging, simple to use.

- Kindle cloud reader - nice and simple, darker but not too serious because of the cloud
A very rough design concept I made:
- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27/instacal…c-icon.png
- It seems too dark / morose.
I'm open to creative redesigns, the original logo is something I made on a whim. Thanks!
