Add an icon to the extension #11

Closed ygoe closed 1 year ago

ygoe commented 1 year ago

I'm adding this extension to my website as recommendation, and I'm including the extension icons there. It looks a little lame with no icon for it. 😉

I could try to draw one if you like. Probably something that shows the "U+xxxx" text and a cursor or so.

When I created the extension, I made it for myself, so I didn't feel any need for an icon. I'm not very good at design, so I'd love to see your ideas, if you already have some.

Just revisiting this… Can you please explain to me what this $(telescope) is? It seems to render as an icon but I can't find it anywhere online (inside or outside this repository).

It's one of the built-in icons, you can find it in this reference list.

Ah, I see. They use the "codicon" font. But I couldn't fit it in the logo anyway, so here's my suggestion:

cursorCharCode-logo

(Select the text around the image to see its exact size because it has a partially white background.)

I can also provide it in .svg or .afdesign formats. The font is Segoe UI that comes with Windows and is used by Microsoft everywhere.

Looks nice! Let me see what I can do with that

zeithaste commented 1 year ago

feel free to re-open if you want any changes ;-)

Cool! You could add the SVG version of it to the repo in case somebody wants to edit the icon later. (Right-click on the image and select "Save target as" or "Save image as", at least in Firefox.)

Thank you, I saved it in here just in case.
