I have two different Vim icons visible on my desktop at the moment:
one for Windows and one for KDE on Fedora 11. In both cases, the
word Vim is laid over the diamond and the letters are quite clear.
The diamond appears as a background rather than a container.
Even when the word Vim is laid over the diamond and not contained in
it, whether the letters are legible depends on the size of the icon.
Besides, the diamond itself tends to be much less discernible when
overlaid by the word.
I am now looking at the Vim icon on my task panel (Linux Mint). The
'im' of 'Vim' is completely illegible. Even the diamond is hardly
recognizable, as the 'V' is the same size and laid over it. (The
more so as the background is a square containing the diamond which
is almost the same green colour as the diamond.)
With the standard Vim icon (16px square, I think, on my Gnome taskbar on
openSUSE 12.1) everything (V, i, m, and the green diamond behind them)
is perfectly recognizable… when I wear the proper eyeglasses for the
distance to my screen. Yes, the V is almost the same size as the diamond
(1px smaller maybe) but the angles of the diamond are definitely there.
The background of my taskbar is black, BTW, and "the square containing
the diamond" has transparent background, so no loss of contrast.
Even for larger icons, there is not much left of the diamond to be
seen behind the 'V'.
My desktop icon is bigger (48px, I think), and there there's quite a lot
left of the diamond. And BTW the "im" looks less amateurish there than
on the large wiki (Monobook skin) logo.
Best regards,
Tony.
