This thing has nothing to do with Plasma; it's inappropriate branding. What do you mean by perfect though? Inappropriate? I don't know about that. Also, I really like the logo. Be it head on or side view, there's probably going to be some sort of display, and the logo seems preferable to inserting a generic landscape (boring). I'd consider putting an image of a film reel on the display though (instead of on top of the camera haha).

This means this style will probably become less recognizable in the future. Also it looks completely different than your 16px and 22px icons. > > I would suggest adding a handle with the integrated microphone to the "classic" video camera design. While it is true that it'll become less recognizable, it's really hard to look at a camcorder head on and not see a camera lens. It's different from my 16 px and 22 px icons, but that's hardly a problem, I can always change those to accommodate the 64 px version. But I have the feeling you want me to do the opposite - F6614356: image.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6614356> REPOSITORY R266 Breeze Icons REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D18986 To: rooty, #vdg, hein, ndavis Cc: trickyricky26, ngraham, kde-frameworks-devel, michaelh, bruns
