Icon/Logo proposal

[hroncok]

Hi, I've noticed RepSnapper doesn't have any logo or icon yet, so I've created a draft. If you like it, feel free to use it, if you keep my attribution.

Generally a nice idea to have an icon, but why the "S"?

[hroncok]

As in repSnapper, as in speed, as in Superman :) And that supposed to be an S and infill at the same time.

[hurzl]

As in Slic3r, which is bad ...

[hroncok]

So would you preffer R?

[hurzl]

I would prefer no letter, something more symbolic for a symbol ;)

[hroncok]

Like this?

[hurzl]

Well, it's still an S ...
how about some 3d spiral filament trace or somesuch, that's what I mean by symbolic

[hurzl]

Well it could be interpreted as a trace, too ...
Do you know ad-hoc how to include/install this?
... nevermind, I found out

[hroncok]

Where it would be stored? It shoud probably be something sane, such as /usr/share/pixmaps/repsnapper.svg or /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/repsnapper.svg, don't forget to uncomment Icon in .desktop file.

Might be a good idea to add it to About dialog too...

I think it looks nice, but the shadow clips on the sides, which is not
so nice.

Thanks,

Better now?

In iceweasel it still clips the edges. It looks fine in inkscape,
though. Might just be a bug in iceweasel's renderer.

Thanks,
