[SailfishOS] Application icon contest
The current application icon has a few issues.
- We only have it in .png, in fairly low resolution.
- It's kinda "busy", Sailfish OS applications tend to be quite calm.
- It does not feel like it is Signal-related, although we have to make sure not to come over as Signal-endorsed.
- Maybe it's due an update :-)
I've had a previous suggestion via the forum, and had a kind of "contest" in mind. The idea is to source both icon-concepts as well as complete designs from the community. If you submit your icon, you agree that I can distribute it under AGPLv3.
How to submit
Make a reply to this issue. Describe what you did, why you think your icon is nice. Keep in mind that we actually require quite a few variations, because we use colours to distinguish several connection states:
Of course, these can be distinct from the app icon itself.
I have no concrete deadline in mind, except for the %v1.0.0: cleaned and refactored milestone.
Voting
When %v1.0.0: cleaned and refactored is nearing completion, I will pick an unused "voting emoji". This emoji will be used on the reactions that contain icons, and this voting will determine the outcome. I will act myself as tiebreaker, but feel free to influence me here and on Matrix. I'm very influenceable. Feel free to
Voting is open on the forum; I've posted my favourite four submissions over there.
