Re: [UX][DESIGN EXPLORATION] - flat application icons
Hi Kevin and Samer， Thanks for the explorations and contributions. The icons looks great! I love them! I prefer the flat ones which are not have gulls because they looks simple and clear. But I also agree with Kevin that we should explore the icons with and without the gulls. I suggest we can have the different size for these icons, for example 16pixel/24pixel/32pixel. So that have a preview at small size. 2013/7/8 Dennis E. Hamilton dennis.hamil...@acm.org Another option would be to ditch the single gull and have a flat orb in the upper left corner, in its original colors. The desktop icons might need to be toned down a bit to not clash. Likewise for the document icons, which don't scale well with those gradients. (Also, when did OpenOffice get two tones. Was I sleeping?) This works to indicate that Apache OpenOffice is the associated application. It also works when there are other decorations, such as a lock or signature security indicator, other indicators that tend to be overlain on the lower left corner. Some do it differently, especially for large icons associated with documents. The format may be identified in the upper left (e.g., PDF) and the associated application is indicated in the main symbol (Acrobat Reader). Microsoft uses generic icons for word-processing, spreadsheet, presentation, e-mail applications, etc. There is then a single-letter badge that indicates the application when it is a Microsoft associated format. For Apache OpenOffice having the orb as a badge on each of our designs serves a similar purpose. It occurs to me that the page surround is not needed. The larger versions of the inscribed symbol can be used on its own, with the orb in the corner of those. They might be borderless then, apart from the shape of the central symbol, and the page curl could go away. (Whether a simple document-page surround is used on large icons, such as 64-bit ones, is a different matter. That option remains.) The difference between a template and the document icon is pretty subtle. I get the tear-off from a pad of paper, but only because that is the only way I can explain it to myself. With uninscribed icons (other than the colored framing of the different symbols), maybe the difference is for the template graphics to be with dotted or dashed lines rather than solid. Just grasping at straws here. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Kevin Grignon [mailto:kevingrignon...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, July 7, 2013 06:43 PM To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Cc: dev Subject: Re: [UX][DESIGN EXPLORATION] - flat application icons I think we should explore the icons with and without the gulls.

Re: [UX][DESIGN EXPLORATION] - flat application icons
Samer, Nice explorations. Could we try a version where the the app icons are all round? This would associate the product icons with the AOO icon. The document icons could remain square. Finally, could we see try the icons without the birds. They are hard to render at small sizes and add noise. Let's keep sketching ideas. Best to visualize the feasible options.

The Logo for templates can have a T in the icon.

Thoughts? Nice! Just checked, the blues are different, I guess it's not by purpose. The seagull circle has 0x0d86cd, the icon has 0x0e97cb.

2013/6/27 Kevin Grignon kevingrignon...@gmail.com Hello all, I've updated my flat application icons design exploration to show the icons adjacent to the new flat logo. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO4+-+Desktop+Icons Scroll to end of page to see the flat icons. Thoughts? They will work well at low scales, and that's a plus. I'm not sure that Draw icon is clear enough, though: pencils are more associated with bitmap editors, I think that that was the idea behind the yellow curve on actual Draw icon. Maybe a Bézier curve with its handlers active will be more clear. Other than that, I cannot say: I'm still an old school user that prefers glossy icons, so don't take me too seriously :) Regards Ricardo Regards, Kevin
