New app icon needed

[jllodra]

A new app icon is needed.

Fork and clone the project and take a look at the file icon.png file. This is the file that needs a face wash. (https://github.com/jllodra/cmod3/blob/master/icon.png)

You have 100% freedom to design the logo you want, just keep it mind the program is called "cmod3".

Thank you!

Take a look at the "contributing.md" file to know how to fork, clone, branch, and push if you have never contributed to a project on github.

In case you want to run and/or build cmod3 in your computer, take a look at the Wiki: https://github.com/jllodra/cmod3/wiki

Feel free to ask for clarification.

To Everybody: If you are doing this to get the Hacktoberfest T-Shirt, please submit your pull-request (you can add the png file and also the original format (psd, ai, etc)). Even if your logo is not the chosen one, your PR will count towards the 4 to get the T-Shirt.

Where is this icon visible? Does macicon.icns also need rework?

I'm not a designer but I made this. Feel free to comment on it so others know what's good and what's not.

@ericorruption What is your OS?

Yes, the .png file must be converted manually to .icns (only for Mac). For Windows/Linux there is no need to do such conversion.

There are several ways of converting a .png to .icns... I cannot recall what tool I used.

This one might work: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/image2icon-make-your-own-icons/id992115977?ls=1&mt=12

@Dayfiri Thank you, without that noise background and the outer frame it would look much better imo. I think that as an idea it is OK but it needs much more work. If you are a programmer maybe you'd like to help on any other issue :)

@jllodra i'm on a Mac.

Another question, is there a specific reason for the icon to be 800x800?

[jllodra]

@Ericorruption I don't think so, honestly.

Here is another one without the noise or frame. Black background with name. That's it

Created a new icon (same dimensions as the original) in PR #19 and replaced the original file. For the colors, I stuck with something similar to the original palette (shades of grey and yellow). If there are other colors you'd prefer, feel free to let me know.

@PixelAtLarge

I like your icon, it is the one I prefer so far. I will try it myself and let you know how it looks.

The orange color you have used is good, there are also 2 colors used in the UI of the program, which are: #0D6755 and #004535

The font used in the original logo and in the program is the Lobster font, you might want to give it a try: http://www.dafont.com/es/lobster.font?text=cmod3

Thank you.

@jllodra Given that the original logo did not make use of the 2 green colors you mentioned, I am inclined to leave them out, unless you feel very strongly. Also, just a heads up that I updated my PR (#19) with a new version of the logo that now uses the Lobster font you requested.

[PixelAtLarge]

@jllodra Hi! Now that Hacktoberfest is over, I was just curious if you had an update regarding this issue.

[PixelAtLarge]

@jllodra My PR has been open for a few months now. Just a heads up that if I don't hear back by this weekend, I'm going to close the PR. Thanks.

@jllodra Closing PR #19 due to inactivity.
