Top Wingman
Top Wingman is a new flirting application on Facebook. The application can be found at http://apps.facebook.com/topwingman.
Object of the game: Users can play wingman for their friends by making matches or they can flirt on their own.
- Single men and women, ages 22-35
- Enjoy flirting online
- Users may have some experience with other applications on Facebook.
1. Fun icon to represent "Maverick", the game's omnipresent wingman.
2. Uses for "Maverick":
- "Maverick" will issue a welcome message to all new users in the game
- "Maverick" will be everyone's wingman and will suggest profiles of men/women to users
- In the future, "Maverick" may guide you through game play.
3. Maverick should be an "it" - more of a character than a real person. The game has some references to Top Gun, but this icon doesn't need to directly reference Top Gun. Would like to see creative execution of the idea of "Maverick"
4. Icon should not need to be overly masculine, needs to be welcoming to women and men
5. Icon needs to be similar in look and feel to existing site design.
