So I played around a bit in Photoshop today and made some graphics for a word game.
I don't do much vector style stuff. Usually I'm limited to colorful geometric shapes in that regard. But I got inspired after seeing a word game with bad artwork, and decided to see if I could do better. A magnifying glass in the other game's logo made me think of Sherlock Holmes, and with a theme in mind, I set to work.
The art isn't finished yet, (the font used for the letter grid is likely to change) and I don't know if I'll turn it into a game or not, but I plan to work on it some more and make buttons and things, and if I do make a game out of it, I'd have someone do up a nice sherlock style character in a circle for message popups. That sort of thing is beyond my abilities as an artist.
The plan for the gameplay would be to have a timer that gives a bonus for finding words fast, and enough words on the board that only a few letters remain uncircled, and the player has to unscramble those to spell a bonus word.
