IconRequest : Network Diagnostics #161

Open Brad-O opened 9 years ago

Brad-O commented 9 years ago

This isn’t so much a request for an icon as a request for feedback. I’m new to the whole graphic design thing but I made an icon for Network Diagnostics (I’ve been having a lot of network problems lately so it’s open a lot) and I wanted feedback on it before submitting a pull request.

The Original: Network Diagnostics My Version: network diagnostics

I like the tools a lot, I think the globe seems a bit overshadowed. I feel like it should be larger, but I'm not sure how to do that without covering up the tools more (maybe have it behind the tools?). I also think the details in the globe could be a bit cleaner, or removed altogether

I agree with almost all of of @wjramos's comments. Only thing I disagree with is having the globe behind the tools or removing the nwtwork details - I think it would take away from the primary "point" of the icon (without that, it just looks like any generic settings or config app).

I think the details should be cleaned up though. They're currently tapered and some of them end halfway across the globe, which makes it look kinda... spider web-y? I'm not sure it'll look great, but what I would try is to get rid of the tapering and just have constant-width lines running across the globe that cut off at the edges of the globe (with nodes intact). And maybe make the network a bit brighter/whiter?

A new version. The globe is ever so slightly bigger but increasing it much more made it look too bulbous to me (it might be already, what do you think?).

I actually think this is perfect - It looks so much better with the brighter, more solid network lines, and I think the globe is the perfect size
