The final app icons for iOS and Mac. We’re getting much closer to release. Thanks for all the feedback on the previous icon.
The app has been making my life easier for months. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.
Edit: These didn't end up being the final icons. A few more tweaks were made to both before release: Lighter shading on the iOS icon. Darker S on the Mac icon to match the iOS icon.
I prefer that flatter version of the iOS icon. I think you could add a little shading back in, but the version in this shot looks odd to me. The way the corners sort of flatten out after curving down is what bugs me. I think if you moved the shading out more, to get rid of the lighter area in the corners, it would work better. Alternatively you could shade it consistently all the way around the edges—it would end up looking more like an inflated cube, but that could actually be kind of cool.
Aside from that: great, fun icons! Looking forwarding to seeing what they're for.
@Jeff Broderick, Mike Piontek: Final version has less shading on the corners. I think you guys are right. Means it looks a little more like the Mac icon, too. Thanks for the feedback.

Cool Marc! My guess: it's something related to iPhone UI design & color management

This should be a textbook example of how to design Mac and iOS icon pairs ;)

I love it! How does the iOS icon look without the corner shadows?

@Jeff Broderick: Without the corner shading it looks a little flat to me (punchier colour though).
Here it is with shading turned off: http://yfrog.com/kjd0wap
@Pietro Desiato: Yep. Sort of. :)
