9 years ago At the moment we don't really have an asset which would be suitable for icon sizes. I can ask the designer to provide something but it won't be immediate. Initially, I'd definitely like to explore keeping the black and white branding before resorting to colour usage.

9 years ago I was thinking about this again and I wonder if having a specialized IDE icon would be a bad thing in a way. For me, the reason I like Bau is that it is simple. It is not a build tool like gulp or PVC. It does not require any special executables or environment dependencies (aside from a run-time). It really is just a .csx file with some script packs, just like any other script may. Because of that I think it is more correct and true to what I like about Bau if it just has the (cs) logo.

9 years ago Regarding Bau having it's own logo, it's just as deserving as grunt or gulp. They are just node modules and Bau is just a scriptcs script pack.
The Scrawl IDE can provide specialized colors and icons for files named baufile.csx. By default they will get the default ScriptCS icon with a purple tab accent due to that being the predominant color. Currently there is a Bau icon that is 128x128 with a while background. Scrawl requires sizes of 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 with a transparent background. The icon file would also need to be in a color (not black on transparent) to provide the needed tab color hint as well as to have contrast against a light or dark background.
