How did you like the current "group icon"?

[quote author="Wolf P." date="1294350268"][quote author="fcrochik" date="1294349472"]I think I read about it on "Out of Control":http://www.amazon.com/Out-Control-Biology-Machines-Economic/dp/0201483408/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294349357&sr=1-1[/quote] Do you suggest reading this book?

I actually had a good time reading this book. To be perfectly honest the part that I didn't like much was when he decided to put on his "IT" hat... You can actually read a few chapters of the book on amazon before deciding...
-
For anybody interested I found out that the author has the book available for download (for free):
"Kevin Kelly":http://www.kk.org/books/out-of-control.php
But I just realized that I may have read about the ants on "another book":http://www.amazon.com/Emergence-Connected-Brains-Cities-Software/dp/0684868768
The first one cites the second I think...
EDIT: You can preview the second book on "google books":http://books.google.com/books?id=qAtgKyaLH4MC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb#v=onepage&q&f=false
(by the way I think this second one is actually the one I didn't like the IT/software aspect of it)

Just uploaded a new image:

EDIT: I just realized that the Trolls may have a problem with Qt logo so for now:

Thanks for the research :) I'll give it a try (or them)

fcrochik, new icon is slightly better, thanks :) Maybe ants should be moved from edge of icon? So border will not overlay them.
-
the new one is really great :) but maybe you can add some animation like for example this ants will be walking from one edge to another :)
-
Cannot find any restrictions on gifs :) So I think they are allowed
-
[quote author="Wolf P." date="1294397862"]Then I think the animation should be as realistic as possible. No ant shaped sliders please :)[/quote]
I agree :) This ants must be "living theirs own life" ;)
-
[quote author="Volker" date="1294399074"]Ahm... no animations please. These are so... so.... late 90ies when everything was blinking and moving and with bizarre colours :-)[/quote]
Oh, I am to young to remember how it web looks in late 90ies, but I think that little animations who have some idea will be looking great :)
-
but we can't overact with realism, we must keep restraint in everythink :) I am for a little animations with some realism.

You're so lucky! These web pages undoubtedly were retina carcinogenic!

I can work on the border but animating ants realistically is probably beyond my designer skills. I may be able to write one ant behavior simulator given the parameters :)
Please join in the fun... I don't need to be the only developer trying to play designer. :)
