Icon Design Brief

I need an App Icon for a new 3D Data visualisation iPhone mobile app that will track a number of real time data points on a 3D globe of the world

The application is an iPhone application that will allow user to receive real time geographical data from a backend API also developed in house. Currently there isn't any other application like it in the app store.

The design theme of the app is currently a transparent black 3D globe with solarised colour markers (predominantly red and orange transparent markers) indicating various location based attributes of the data.

Navigating the globe is the main feature of the app and so are the solarised coloured transparent markers.

As far as the theme or design style, one idea I had was for an abstract globe incorporating the color, dark, and transparency themes already existing in the app. But this is obviously open to your own creativity!!

Some ideas that I had would incorporate
1. The theme of a 3D globe
2. The solarised red and orange colours present in the markers (transparent circles) in the design of the app
3. Black transparency / dark theme / translucency - transparency and translucency an overriding theme of the app.


Delivery Requirements
The icon should adhere to the Apple's requirements for an app icon which I have listed here for reference (taken from https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/IconMatrix.html)

App icon
Size for iPhone 5 and iPod touch (high resolution)
Size for iPhone and iPod touch (high resolution)
120 x 120

App icon for the App Store (required for all apps)
1024 x 1024

The final design should communicate
1. Global nature of the app
2. Real time data /up to the minute nature of the app
3. Slickness/fluidity and transparency of the UI

Please see the section on nice to have haves for more information on what I may be after

Requirements

Must have

• I have an open mind with this, but ideally the finally design would incorporate
  
  1. Global nature of the app
  2. Real time data /up to the minute nature of the app
  3. Slickness/fluidity and transparency of the UI
  

Nice to have

• One idea I had was to somehow incorporate an abstract 3D globe,
  
  the other idea would just be an icon with the letters "Py" as the logo (similar to the way facebook, flipboard etc do app icons) -
  
  but really wanted this open to your own creativity and design.

  I also like the app styling in this icon set

  One idea I had was to start with an abstract, transparent 3D globe on a dark background with a circle marker in either orange or red incorporated into the design ...
