Recently there has been some ongoing discussion on Discord about a ZMK icon and logo. This was originally discussed in #195 and #225, and is now being brought up again. The previous issues spoke about a logo and a mascot - more recent discussion has brought up the need for both an icon (small symbol suitable for toolbars and app icons) and a logo (which may contain the icon).
A number of sketches and ideas have been tossed around, this issue is to collect the requirements and themes discovered by the exploration.
Color
The color palette of the icon and logo should be the same as the current, i.e. mixes of purple and blue.
Themes
Core themes:
Keys (Keycaps)
Wireless
Secondary themes:
Wired connectivity
Zephyr
Related tertiary themes:

Icon Requirements
Must be legible at a size of 24x24dp

Must be distinct from other icons
Must look good regardless of display size
Logo Requirements
Must be unique and easily recognizable
Must be distinct from other logos and icons
Should have a suitable monocolor version in addition to any color, for pcb printing
Should look good at various sizes, though not necessarily to the extent of the icon
