Seems that Meizu will give the final M8 UI artwork to EICO Design, the same professional designers that made the beautiful Home icons.
From what I could gather on the
original thread J.Wong just wants to get the general functional layout ready first, so that EICO can concentrate on the artwork:
The following is quoted in the 2008-3-19 19:45:00 J. Wong statement:
ui部分我们把框架交互做好后,也会尝试让他们做美化(他们只做美术部分).
Ui part of the framework of interaction we do a good job, so that they will try to do landscaping (they only art).
(can someone please go there a make a translation? did I get a completely wrong idea?)
Regarding EICO, I went ahead and looked at some of
their works, and they seem to be quite competent designers. I'm looking forward to the final result! :D
