Tab Bar Twosdays the Fourth.

October 12th, 2009 Dave Leave a comment Go to comments

Hello fellow travelers, iPhone devs and hackers. Welcome to this, the 4th installment of Tab Bar Twosdays. Here’s the drill. I pick two random tab bar icons from our vast archive of handy-dandy tab icons, and you get to use them. You’re welcome. As before, these icons are free to use in any of your iPhone dev projects, or wherever else you choose.

Someone asked about why these icons were black and white. Good question! Actually they’re black with an alpha channel for transparency. That’s due to their usage on an iPhone tab bar, where these suckers get stuck. Apple takes these images and applies its own fill effects for inactive and selected states (the grey and blue activated icons) you’ll find on most apps. As a designer, it’s a fun challenge to use this limited pallette to create unique icons that complement an app’s overall look and feel.

Anyhow on to the icons. We’ve gone with a building theme today.

    Hi Rod, if you look in a later entry, I’ve made this payment icon for you.
