Closed mendezand closed 6 years ago

Hi. When I did not see that there was a logo, I decided to make a contribution. You can request the changes you want, once approved I will send the editable files. image

Hi,

Thank you a lot for your contribution to this project! I really appreciate that, and like the fact that your proposition respects material design. (respect the Android guidelines matters to me 😄) Unfortunately, this project is the new version of this old application that already have an icon. Indeed, it's could be good to have a new icon. So I started a new one that respect adaptive icons guideline. (on Android, new versions of the OS support icons that could take the shape that the user select: square, rounded square, squircle, treadrop...)

With that in mind, I design a first version here. You can see on the left of this screenshot old version of the icon (non adaptive) and on the right the new version (adaptive):

Regarding the color codes of this application, this app is more blue than green for now =)

Here, a first screenshot of the app:

To design adaptive icon, svg is great and icon should have a foreground and a background

For these reasons, I will for now, still use the one that I have. Again, thks a lot!

Kind regards, Jonathan

Thank you very much for all the knowledge you have given me. I am new at this. Excuse me if I do not understand something.

I made a change of colors and created a .SVG file. With the file you can do the tests or should I send it in .PNG image files as separate

In case you do not like the design you can tell me. 😊

Nice, thanks a lot for your proposals. For now, I will keep the icon that I made in order to keep visual effect on drag and drop and to have explicit folder icon (your "hand" black icon does not give a sens/meaning to explain the app to the user, sorry for that)

PS: I mean this drag and drop effect
