An iOS icon I made for the guys at minus (minus.com) for a new app. I kept the lid on this one for a while but just found out yesterday that they suddenly shifted the app direction, so this icon went unused. Still, the gradient came out nice, and I'm pretty happy with the results. I must've made 20 variations of this simple concept, too. Aimed for a soft, "touchable" icon look.
I don't want minus.com on my phone but I want this icon on my phone so I will download minus.com onto my phone if it means getting this beautiful icon onto my phone..
@Garrett Gee I was surprised as well, but hey it was their call. Still, I spent so much time working on this velvety gradient that I'm sad they didn't use it.

@Garrett Gee Hate to do this to you, but they're not using this one. They have a different, not-made-by-me, icon.

Beautiful! Damn shame they went with something else.
Am I crazy or are they still using this icon as their favicon on minus.com?!

Killer gradient @Ryan Ford. Inspiring in that as soon as I saw this, I thought, I must learn the ways of such spectacular gradient creation.

@Ryan Ford amazing... although the bacon icon will always rival anything you do. Great work.
