New icon for the addon #16

Closed Frewacom closed 2 years ago

Frewacom commented 4 years ago

Currently, the icon is just a black box with a "P" in it. It is not very good looking and there is only one size (48x48) as of now.

The icon should be updated to a better looking one and include more sizes.

It would be nice to display the icon/logo at the top of the README as well.

What about a fox on a black background that is sitting and the inner colors are layered curved with diffrent color

wts42 commented 4 years ago

Maybe a dynamic icon? Get the colors from the wallpaper color informations from pywal? (as a little gimmick)

Gusted commented 4 years ago

So far I know extension icons are static and couldn't be changes in the fly

reeseovine commented 2 years ago

Agreed, and I like @Gusted's suggestion of a rainbow fox. Though it might not be easy to see at small sizes so maybe just a fox face? I can mock up a draft of what I'm thinking.

For me I have the Privacy.com browser extension as well which looks nearly identical to Pywalfox's. Try to guess which one is which:

2 browser add-on icons, both are a white capital letter P on a chamfered black square

(To be fair I don't like Privacy's logo either, but of course I don't have the power to change it.)

Something like this look good?

gradient fox

The gradient is on its own layer so it could be changed to anything

Frewacom commented 2 years ago

Looks great! Perhaps the gradient could use brighter colors to make it "pop" a bit more.

I assume you made this yourself?

reeseovine commented 2 years ago

Like I said, the gradient could be anything, I just got tired of trying to make a rainbow as Inkscape's gradient editor leaves a lot to be desired.

And yes I did! I looked at some clip art of foxes for inspiration but the lines were 100% done by me.

I would like to work on the drawing some more since the face looks a bit human-like and it's creeping me out 😂

gradient fox

I just hid the mouth and eyes and I think it looks a lot better already. Let me know what you think!

Frewacom commented 2 years ago

Yeah, I really like it, and would gladly replace the current icon with this one 🦊. I am quite busy atm, but feel free to create a PR if you want!
