AW: [libreoffice-design] Mime Type Icons Redesign Proposal

2015-11-13 Thread Samuel Mehrbrodt 
Hi Paulo,

I like your icons. Others might judge them better since I'm not a designer.
But still I have one request: As Andy Latty wrote a few days ago on this list, 
the "generic" LibreOffice icon doesn't look very nice.
Others feel the same about that icon. Maybe you have an idea how to improve 
that? Someone told me, that icon should look so that you actually *want* to 
click on it. Obviously currently it doesn't.

So if you have any ideas/designs for that, that would be most welcome :)

Thanks
Samuel

Betreff: Re: [libreoffice-design] Mime Type Icons Redesign Proposal

Just finished the 132 icons for the main applications and templates: 11
unique icons in 6 sizes (16, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 128 px) and 2 versions of
color (default and high contrast). I included the new sizes of 64px and
96px because they are common today in most OS's (i.e. default icon in
Nautilus are now 64, 96 and 128 px).

Default color:

Paulo,

Thanks, that is a nice range of choices. 

IMHO if the templates are presented mono-chromatic the hanging pendant, or
blaze, of no. 4 would work well. Believe it would scale well.

But if you could adjust the spiral "bindings" of  no.2,  holding them in  a
common color across all the templates, that also would be readable at all
scales. And to my liking,  would be the better choice.

No. 1  is your current suggestion and does not differentiate enough to
represent a template rather than a document. 

And think  no.3 (hole punched) would have issues of readability at smaller
scale.

Stuart

Stuart, I did some alternatives for the template icon and I would like to
know what do you and others think about it.
