Material Launcher Icon?
Closed this issue · 17 comments
This is a small thing, but I think before release this app should have a nice Material launcher icon. I'm not sure what it'd look like, though - perhaps some sort of schedule or door floating on a red background?
Agreed, and I like that idea. This is a pretty convenient image -> icon helper if you haven't seen it already: http://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html
Yup, I've seen that tool. How about this, just for now? I think the "info" clipart is suitably generic.
Here's another concept (handmade):
Am I correct in guessing a little inspiration from Google Calendar?
I like them both ^_^ Hmm.. Have you tried putting them on the phone yet to see which might seem nicer there?
I think the second one is a really neat idea.
The first one is just from the icon generator xD the second one is my idea. I haven't tried them yet (and the second one doesn't have all the necessary shadows and tints and stuff, I have no idea how to use inkscape). One sec
Ah haha I see. But kk sounds good no rush
On device
Gah, the dot on the "I" isn't casting a shadow. There's also some gradients that I'm missing. Oh well. But this is the basic idea I had.
Yup I dig it :D Let's run with it (yeah the shadow for the dot sounds good). Hm, also could you try playing with turning the strength of the shadow down just a little? If it ends up looking worse then no prob at all, was just curious.
Oh lol I just threw in random things. I think (I hope) Google has actual values somewhere, I noticed they specified stuff like the drop shadow strength pretty exactly but didn't see anything for the long shadow.
Haha yeah for sure. Hm, yeah I couldn't find any after a simple search. Would think they would have had it on that icon guideline page.. Ah well.
Found an icon generator.
edit: haha that was the same one I linked above :P
I didn't know you could prefill text though, that's convenient, I just saw the image loader. I guess that's how @lidavidm was saying he made that first one?
@mrkev That's the exact one I used for the squared icon above :D
@genkimarshall The first one was made using the 'clipart' option.
💯 Let's run with that one :D
+1 :)
