The Omni Group

[...] And then, like in a well planned scenario, OmniPlan is making the first - let’s call it official, but it still isn’t - announcement for the first beta version fo the over-hyped software OmniFocus (the image is just a proposal for their first icon, I just hope they will not killing me for putting it here). We could expect the first version to go live late April or early May. [...]

Woo! Purple! There aren't enough purple icons.

Yippee!!  Can't wait and the icon is sooo purdy

Notice how Linda only said April or May…she didn't say which YEAR, however.

But don't worry, I have faith that you'll get ANYTHING out before the next Guns n' Roses album comes out.  Okay, that's probably not fair, since that's probably giving OmniFocus a little too much time.

And the law of predicting an accurate release date is—you're wrong.  You'll always be wrong.  Don't even bother trying to guess.  You'll be wrong, no matter what.

But if you do really want a crazy guess, just estimate how long you THINK it will take, and then multiply it by 4.  That way, you won't be quite as wrong as before. :)

Hilarious!  Especially the part about â??Look, something shiny!â?? (runs away).  I love it.

*Ggnhhh!* April? MAY!?

You should know that a heavy downpour and hailstorm just started in London as I was reading this news, which only served to underline the bleak outlook of more months of waiting.

Have you no hearts?

Well, at least I can stop checking the site every hour and do something more useful with my time.

Seriously, thanks for the update, and the icon is a good teaser.

Perhaps you should try using a great little tool called *OmniPlan* to help determine a target delivery date for your new app.

Just a thought.  ;)

Here's my attempt…

Nice icon, Coconino. It's clear, concise, and communicates succinctly what the app is about. No offense to omni, but you've hit the nail far more squarely on the head than they did.  :-)

Wow….an icon.  That's great. 

Meanwhile we all already started using Actiontastic.  You know sometimes being first is better (in market share terms) than than getting the icon just so.

Hi,

I think that the icon is not reflecting OmniFocus I think. A bit too much of a clipping thing, a filing system. I hope OmniFocus will be more.

Can't propose a better logo, but it should reflect the process that OmniFocus will be made for: CAPTURE your Life, Work; ANALYSE this informatio, RELATE it to your obejectives and projects, ORGANISE and FILE, RETRIVE the items whenever needed, PLAN when to do them, and finally DO it.

Sorry about the mailing list error, we had a temporary problem on our software after applying the latest software updates.  The problem is fixed now.

There's an Indian saying… I think it's something like “ho daija.”  It means “It'll happen when it happens.”

yay, purple@ there's way too too many blue icons out these days.
