Application icon #111

The glorious Version 2 of the game certainly deserves an app icon! Don't you think, @nicymike ? :)

I used the little tower from the game's start-up screen and made some variants. I also embeded recommended icon sizes (into a single Windows .ico file) based on this information: https://github.com/notarocketscientist/serflings-debug/blob/master/other/icon/info.md

Feel free to use them, if you like...

The transparent v2 is propably my personal favorite, because it looks especially cool as a desktop shortcut.

Nice, thank you.

The reason I don't have an icon yet is the question about copyright when using images out of the game. Maybe we should repaint the tower to get around this.

notarocketscientist commented 11 months ago

I see. You're right. I'll try to come up with something else then.

I think acting defensively is better in the case of Ubisoft.

notarocketscientist commented 11 months ago

I agree. I just wasn't aware of the issue.

I now made two new icon variants in a typgraphical style. (I don't have the time to paint some "good" pixel art at the moment.)

For "v1" I have redrawn the "S"-shape from the main menu title as a vektor graphic (SVG) and made some changes to shape, fill (gradient) and color. If you don't feel comfortable with that variant in terms of copyright, I also made something completely different in "v2". The "S"-shape here is based on a free font (with own changes, too).

Let me know what you think. I can also make some modifications (remove gradient, change colors etc) if you'd like to use one of these icons.
