New App Icon (Proposal) #16

Closed Rossi1337 closed 3 weeks ago

Rossi1337 commented 1 month ago

Created a new App icon. I'm not a designer so you can see this as a first proposal. The source is the logo.svg file in the assets folder. From that i created the ico for Windows and the icons for MacOS. For Linux icons are currently not supported out of the box by Flutter.

Open for discussion. Related to issue #5

I like you choose a minimalist style and I like that. It conveys a sense of modernity and approachability. So I think we've outlined the style it should have. However the logo also feels a bit redundant (a chat bubble within a chat bubble). I believe we can still refine it. Moreover we need something to make it stand out, an image that represents the focal point of our work, that why I was thinking of an half human (curved natural shapes) half cybernetic (geometric silicon like shapes) brain symbolizing our will to build a seamless and customizable desktop experience that allows human-machine collaboration.

Speaking of the technical aspect, having PNG variants (in dark/light themes) of the logo would be pretty useful for the app UI.

Leaving this open. I'll show you my concept soon to know your opinion.

Anyways I invited you as a collaborator as you've been pretty active and interested ;)

Yes you comments make sense. Looking forward to see your proposals.

Leaving here some hints how to create this. I started with a svg created in Inkscape. From that I exported to png in all sizes. Then I used this online tool to create a multi size ico file for windows https://www.icoconverter.com/

For MacOS you can replace the png files directly in the folder "macos/Runner/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/"

I found a cool tool offering a decent free tier to draw and animate SVGs. It is called SVGator and looks like a good option to me especially because it allows us to animate the logo and that will come in handy for a splash screen and other branding material

I will close this one now. We may want to open a Discussion for this topic instead
