New logo #6

Closed GeopJr closed 1 year ago

For the sake of not conflicting with Tootle, in case it gets unarchived in the future, I went ahead and rebranded this fork.

The name I went with is Tooth. Another idea was Tooter (but it seems to already be an app/social media platform).

The current logo is Tootle's but in a blue accent (similar to Chromium). Since the name is Tooth, a new logo is needed (probably designed after a... tooth).

Since it's a mastodon app called tooth, maybe a tusk-based logo could work. I know they're not technically teeth, but still..

Made a rough proof of concept. Not sure if it works, might not be recognizable enough at all. (Also I'm not at all a designer, so I couldn't ever cook up anything actually good)

tusk logo

GeopJr commented 1 year ago

That's a nice idea!

My main concern is how would tusks be designed to fit the GNOME HIG on icons. When I originally made the issue, tusks hadn't even crossed my mind - I was imagining a human tooth (which would easily fit in a rectangular or square icon shape from the HIG). Tusks definitely fit the Mastodon theme better!

This looks way to similar to the icon for Tusky (Android fedi client)

How about the head of a sabretooth tiger (public domain version of tiger is here) https://openclipart.org/detail/218801/diego

I am no artist or I would prepare some draft :)

Thanks for the suggestion!

However we are going over the final iterations of an icon for this app (along with a new name) that better fits the GNOME hig!
