Icon is a copy of Steam's icon #2

Open bbhtt opened 5 months ago

Hello we are tracking a bunch of applications with trademark violations and icons that are direct copies of other brands' or applications' icons.

The current icon is a direct copy of Steam's icon with the colours changed.

Please try to use your own icon for the application to avoid trademark issues and confusing people.

Additionally I would also suggest that you change the application name to not contain "Steam" and use a distinct name.

I think 2 months is a reasonable time period for us to wait for the icon and name to be changed.

You can find some resources for icon guidelines in https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/quality-guidelines#app-icon and name in https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/quality-guidelines#app-name

And the guidelines on trademarks https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/quality-guidelines#no-trademark-violations

Sorry, I didn't have notifications on for some reason. Didn't see this until now.

I'll try to come up with something. If you know of any designers that would be willing to make an icon do tell me, since I'm no artist.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Unfortunately not, but feel free to take your time.

What's the update here?

I think 2 months is a reasonable time period for us to wait for the icon and name to be changed.

The stipulated 2 months time was over on July 29.

If this isn't solved, the app will be temporarily delisted, until this issue is fixed
