An internet startup focused on providing the easiest way for people to handle their home emergencies.
The target audience for these icons will be homeowners, men and women ages 25-50.
Looking for solid illustrations of common household equipment and appliances that are in a state of emergency.
The most important requirement of these icons will be to convey a complex action or problem in such a small space (64 x 64 pixels).
What I am looking for is similar to http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-il…k-taxi.php or http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-il…-goods.php
The icons will preferably show a single household item in a state of emergency or disrepair. (example: a single pipe bursting or a toilet overflowing)
The following icons are required:
1 - toilet overflowing or pipe bursting
2 - car broken down with the hood open or a flat tire (example: http://repairpal.com/ illustration but smaller)
3 - a dead rat or insect to symbolize a house that needs extermination.
4 - a lock on a door, safe or car that is not unlocked. (this is one of the icons I am most flexible with, it can be anything that conveys the need for a locksmith)
5 - a painter brush or roller or possibly a run down house if it is possible to fit in a 64 x 64 icon (another icon I am very flexible with, just needs to convey the need for a house painter)
6 - a broken down washer, dryer or dishwasher
7 - a moving box or moving van to symbolize the need for a moving company
8 - overgrown grass, weeds, or shrubbery to represent the need for a landscaper
Specific information regarding the exact items can be discussed further through email or phone conversations.
The color schemes should be simple and match those of the current website.
