Rejected icon made for a client.
I had an incredible amount of fun while making this! It was a real challenge. Making icons is hard.
I think I found the perfect balance between detail and simplicity. The icon is also clear, and shows movement/speed, in my opinion. :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Love it
Jord, love the dutch on this. it helps with the feeling of motion/running. great icon!
Gorgeous! I'm really curious how it would look like if the end of the stick was curved up.
This is great!
I just think it's weird that they rejected it.
What exactly are they looking for?
I saw this and thought "hmm, looks like a field hockey icon thingie".
Isn't that what they want?
Nice idea, Jord.
Wow dude!
the only thing I don't like is the hockey stick facing down, I don't know shit about field hockey though, so is it the proper way?
apart from that it has a fantastic balance and a great use of white lines for separating the arms/stick/body, too bad that this was rejected :/
Great stuff Jord! The movement in it is great. I love, how you used well know style for a man and made it move!
dude, this rocks!
It was rejected for not being the right style. :)
Thanks for the great replies guys!
Very clean and nice.
great work! it looks a lot like swiss graphic design > http://j.mp/nFErUV :) we're known for being minimalistic aka helvetica :P
Perfect
I think this is really good, but it seems as thought the top part of his body is very stiff. Maybe one of the arms can be bent a bit. Food for thought :)
I love this!!!
Clean and perfect!! love it.
