Hi Everyone, took another stab: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO4+-+Desktop+Icons
Upon scaling down, I can tweak line thicknesses to create sharper small set icons, I only scaled cheap to get this draft out on the mailing list for comments. Here are my thoughts when creating those: Flatter, sharper, more contrast, less gradients. People mentions circle is part of the brand, note taken and implemented. People mentioned too many gradients, I created this icon set back in December 2012 before we were inspired by the flat idea. Gradients have been removed. Someone mentioned shoot the birds, so I played Duck Hunt with them. Someone said my icon for Impress was less than, I choose not to act on it for the time being. I like the oblique styling on the Sigma, that's what the person building the shed wants to do. Jurgen mentioned boarders too dark, I forgot to lighten them, but can in future iterations. Rob mentioned templates to be dotted, did it, works. And its still similar enough for 3.x users to transition to. If time is running out, we can do just the main application icon for now. I'm ok with doing these for 4.1 On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 7:25 AM, Andre Fischer <awf....@gmail.com> wrote: > On 08.07.2013 09:30, Jürgen Schmidt wrote: > >> On 7/8/13 3:42 AM, Kevin Grignon wrote: >> >>> I think we should explore the icons with and without the gulls. >>> >>> Let's see what the feasible options look like before we drive towards a >>> single solution. >>> >> > I agree.
