The metaphor should be the green man listening to podcasts on a portable player. It would be _very_ cool if you could make one icon with a portable player (iPod-like, as in the current icon) and one with a Nokia N800/N810 instead of the portable player, because gPodder is also available on Nokia Internet tablets, and it would be cool if we could have a variant of the icon for the Nokia Internet Tablet version. A N800: http://www.dslteam.de/news/bilder/04_n800_small.jpg Hope I don't ask for too much :) I didn't include earphones, but you might have a try on including them on the green man's ears (see below for the old logo which had earphones). For the smaller versions of the icon, I think you know what's the best thing to do (from what I see from other Tango Icons). > Should I do this or will you never change your icon? (not to be > understand in a negative and offensive way, that never changing) Please do! :) I've planned to ask Tango artists to review the current icon in June 08, anyway, so I'll be very glad to have the icon reviewed and improved by a Tango artist :) When I did the icon, I tried to follow the guidelines, but I'm not an artist, so it can surely be improved. Also, the 16x16 currently looks ugly, so this needs special care :) You can download the SVN and different icon sizes here: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/gpodder/trunk/data/ Additional resources: * A very old version of the icon (which might help to think of the metaphor ("green man listening to podcasts on a MP3 player") is in http://prdownload.berlios.de/gpodder/gpodder-0.8.0.tar.gz You find the file in "data/gpodder.png" in the tarball * The initial try on getting a good Tango-ish icon for gPodder: http://khan.thpinfo.com/~thp/images/gpodder-icon-source.png and SVG: http://thpinfo.com/2007/archive/gpodder-icon-source.svg The license for the icons should be the same as gPodder's license, which is "GPLv3 or later". I hope this is okay for you. Thanks very much for helping out with the icons :) Your help is greatly appreciated!
