App Store Lets A Logo Slip
In recent months the Apple App Store has been said to hold back listing of applications for the iPod Touch and iPhone for many reasons. Somehow the logo for the app iCount slipped by.
As you can tell, there is a reason why Apple pulled the iCount application from the App Store once it realized what the logo could say.
The App Store allows iPod Touch and iPhone users download applications for their devices either on the device itself or through iTunes. This is a similar to the iTunes Store for music. Each application needs to go through a somewhat secret vetting process before it gets released to the public, this includes the icon.
Since the iCount application was pulled from the store Hydrix, the developer of the application was forced to create a new logo for their application. Not only did the drop the letter “O” from this one, the dropped all the letters. Honestly the new logo looks better to me, but does my vote really…(i)Count?
