Howdy Samer, et al Nice stuff - I think perhaps I'm in the minority, looking over the responses, but I rather like the rounded (Exploration 2) icons - particularly as depicted in Win 8.
Rounded or squared however, they are all a fresh breath. Gulls - I understand about many wanting to loose them. I think the iconic value is rather high though with existing brand recognition. That I suppose can be maintained else wheres in project/application resources. Just curious, with these new icons would you consider them high contrast or would you expect that the project (you, I suppose ;-) would need to also produce HC equivalents for whichever set is selected? Thanks for your work here, very much so //drew On Sun, Oct 13, 2013 at 6:44 PM, Peter Junge <peter.ju...@gmx.org> wrote: > On 10/10/2013 11:53 AM, Ariel Constenla-Haile wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> On Wed, Oct 09, 2013 at 11:01:09PM -0400, Samer Mansour wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I'm proposing to have the icons (and related assets) updated for AOO >>> 4.1 release.
