Icon Request: Kaleidoscope
Closed this issue · 22 comments
I snagged the original icon from the Resource folder for a base.

@jameswlane the color are the same but with a flat look to it. Let me know if there's any improvement that have to be made, if not this icon will be added to the repo in the next few days. Thanks :)
PS: the background is white so you want see the rounded square here
@jameswlane here the second iteration me and @wjramos worked on
@jameswlane i see what you mean, the only problem is that first one wont match the rest of the set, like it isn't exactly flat design. That's the reason why the second one was created, we will try to come up with other options and see what can be done.
@mknrls You also make a very valid point. Maybe we can break it up into more than six sections and add more shades. Maybe twelve sections? Break the Red, Green and Dark Blue ( Or the three points ) into three sections themselves.
@jameswlane i don't know if it's going to look right but we could try. By the way this was a iteration we had before we settle with the current one, witch is still a good option if you like it
I'll do another version tonight with more sections, possibly a low-poly style
I was thinking on this maybe something mosaic or just get rid of the colors and make its a single color.
@jameswlane here a new concept i came up with :)
This is what happen when abstract and secondary colors becomes friends lol
@wjramos love the last one its gorgeous
+1
One more
Let me know which you guys think
I really love the previous one (I think it's because of the more even dispersion). I'm a little concerned it might be too busy at the size of a dock icon, but I think I might like it too much to care
Representing rainbow gradients in geometric shapes is pretty tough
You might also notice I slightly modified the shape of the triangle. The original icon of this App also has a swirl appearance I tried to capture with the lines of the newer shape
@wjramos I think you did a amazing job and nailed it. I agree with @tinalatif, I think it's gorgeous.
More color uniformity, each outer cell is a 1/17 increment of a 360 degree color wheel (based on Flat UI red as 0 degrees), and the inner cells are the median of their neighboring two cells
@tinalatif Thank you Tina! :)
