000 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Me too ... keep my fingers crossed for you guys. You deserve every award available for rewriting an awesome macOS application and keeping all features as well as most of the 'snappiness'.

Alfred Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Eight hours ago Affinity Designer was in the lead with 42% and the other contenders' shares of the vote were 37%, 15% and 6%. The gap has widened considerably since then: it's now 53% against 29%, 12% and 6%.

I wonder if they were told that it would be cropped if it wasn’t square. I can’t imagine them submitting it like that if they knew! I see that Plex has had a surge of support and has nearly caught up with Penbook, but both are still well behind the leaders. At 23%, Todoist currently has half as many votes as Affinity Designer.

gllincoln Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I voted for Designer - currently Designer has 46% of the vote - which places it ahead of the competition. I think Designer is worthy of the win - and encourage anyone reading this to vote for Designer! Zilliamdeerm and Mark Ingram 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app name appears underneath each logo anyway, so its inclusion in the image is superfluous.

It's not a big deal. We've got more important things to be working on, rather than spending time working with Microsoft (and the company that is running the event), just to get the icon changed, for a 2 week vote. It's not going to put people off buying the product is it. stokerg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The Micro$oft Store version of the logo/icon is deliberately different, so that you can easily distinguish it from the desktop version. If you think that that tail is stupid, why are you bothered about its absence from the "flat" version? The logo in the M$ Store looks OK here: The icon on the Windows Developer Awards page would have looked fine if they had cropped off the bottom third like this: But they didn't; they cropped off the top third instead: And then they shrank it from 180px square to 150px square (and probably sharpened it, too, which would account for the black outlines around the letters): peter 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a Microsoft account (e.g. Hotmail, Xbox, Office365), and feel like giving us your support, then you can cast your vote at the following page: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/projects/events/build/2018/awards Thanks for your time. I posted that page on 2 Affinity Facebook groups that talks about AP and Designer so maybe people will vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
