A new logo

It is surprisingly difficult to create an icon for a product. Well, it's easy to find an icon, from the web, or another application, but to create one from scratch that embraces the philosophy of the product in hand is very hard indeed. Michael has been the artist in this area since I came on board. My icon creating skills are next to zero, so to have someone who is proficient in Adobe Photoshop is very handy. Michael has created the icons for EISNet v1.7 through the use of our own icon library, merging and adapting them where needed.

Throughout the entire project, I have been nagging him to get the actual EISNet Management Studio icon done. There have been many attempts and just as many failures (I am very hard to please). However, yesterday he gave me a surprise. He showed me the User Manager icon we use on our Administration Networks and suggested we use that. In theory, both tools do a similar job, but unfortunately where we have Joint Admin and Curriculum networks, it will become hard to determine which is which. So he then changed the colour scheme and the new EISNet Management Studio icon was born.
