We were in the process of getting an updated nightly icon from Apple’s design 
team. I posted a patch to swap-in what they created.

Thanks for showing what you designed. The blueprint look is something Jon has 
been exploring for parts of the redesigned website.

Nice work Chris! Curious, we have some concepts around the same “blueprint” 
idea. I worked on a similar, but different, design. Great minds. I’m not yet 
sure what the plans are for my concept art. So I don’t think I should share it 
in this forum yet.

You’re right, I think the thin gridlines will disappear at small sizes, but 
that’s not necessarily a bad thing at small sizes. I just would be careful to 
intentionally remove them at small sizes rather than letting them blur into the 
background during resizing. Alternatively, you could change the scale of the 
grid and use a thicker weight with reduced opacity. If you are changing the 
scale of the grid, you might aim for more symmetry by aligning the grid to the 
art elements at the same time.

Lastly, reducing or removing the embossing and shadows would also make the art 
feel like it is on the paper rather than being stamped onto or floating above 
it. Those are the thoughts I had. I hope they are helpful!

[webkit-dev] Updated WebKit Project Logo

[Jonathan Davis]

I’d like to introduce the mailing list to the newly redesigned WebKit project 
logo! 

The new logo moves the project away from the Safari logo while paying homage to 
the project heritage. It carries over over familiar elements from the old icon 
including the yellow/gold and compass rose.

Our intent is to start using this art for the WebKit project on a redesigned 
web site, presentations and the like to represent the WebKit technology stack. 
We do not intend for this to be used as the app icon for WebKit Nightly builds 
or for other applications.
