SVG Icon for Tilda #162

Open lanoxx opened 9 years ago

lanoxx commented 9 years ago

We need a better and higher quality icon for tilda, preferably in the SVG format, so we can generate differently sized images from it. Unfortunately I am to a designer so I wont be able to fix this my self. If there is any tilda user that has experience with icon design, feel free to submit your suggestions for a better icon.

I see two options to fix this: Come up with a totally new icon or use the existing icon, but recreate it as a vector graphic in the SVG format.

I'm looking for your feedback.

So I don't know if you still want to change the icon, but the old pixmap wasn't making it for me so I just draft a new icon for personal use. I am no designer!

I get that this may not be the wanted style, but I think it may open the discussion for talented people to give better designs. So I will just share my icon, which I created using the Yaru template.

Cheers

Hi, first of all many thanks for this contribution. I would love to get feedback from the community on this and if someone with some more design background wants to pick this up that would be great, since I am also not a designer.

Personally I kind of like the little Tilde Penguin on the current Icon but I am also open to a more simplistic icon like this one as well, its certainly better than the blurred mini icon that we use now.

Maybe a small thing to keep in mind. The Yaru theme is only available on Ubuntu. It would be good to have a working icon on other distributions too.

Let me interject x) I love tilda and have been using it on whichever OS possible. I have finally started exploring other Unix-like OS's and naturally use Tilda there too. Tux is very specific to Linux - that's just my point. Personally I don't mind, just an insight from outside of Linuxland.

As my two cents a suggest a shade/blind like this:

this

in combination with the suggestion above.
