Moreover, all the icons entered into the competition will be made available to the public for free download, which allows the excitement to perpetuate. This contest is a chance for them to communicate their excitement to Adobe in the language creative professionals speak most fluently-visual design. Burke, publisher of Quark VS and contest organizer said: “Creative Suite 3 as well as upcoming new versions of formerly Macromedia products and the rest of the Adobe product line have customers excited. Without taking sides or expressing its own opinion, Quark VS created the Design Your Own Creative Suite 3 Icons Competition to give users of Adobe products the opportunity to express their visions of the perfect Creative Suite 3 application icons. The branding change has met with passionately polarized opinions-some creative professionals adore the new icons while others despise them. Except in a few instances, the branding scheme, which incorporates all the formerly Macromedia-published products, foregoes the symbols and iconography familiar to creative professionals from previous versions of the applications of the last 20 years in favor of color-coded, two-letter symbols for each application. In late December 2006, Adobe revealed a portion of its branding scheme for the next generation of Adobe applications, including the upcoming Creative Suite 3 and all CS3-version point products like Photoshop, InDesign, InCopy, Illustrator, and Acrobat. A cornucopia of software, books, and videos are offered to three winners in a prize chest valued at more than US$7,000. The contest is open to graphic designers, illustrators, interface designers, and skinners anywhere in the world.
