#7 Update Fedora Live Installer icon based on the recently redesigned GNOME 3.32 guidelines
Closed by jimmac. Opened by jimmac.

With the 3.32 release of GNOME, the application icon style guidelines have been updated, embracing a more geometric look with vivid colors. The number of sizes necessary has also been reduced. I'd like to propose an updated icon, keeping you in the loop from the start of the design process.


There's two major directions we can go -- either sticking with the hard drive metaphor, which perhaps doesn't muddy the branding, but is a bit lacking when a spinning disk is a rare occurrence and isn't very identifiable.

The alternative approach is to use the fedora logo outline/pill for the basis of the save symbol:

Using the current logo colors it might look like this --

Not sure where the logo redesign is, but in the future it might look like --

A couple of thoughts here:

  • I'm not a designer or a UI/UX person, so I won't offer any opinions on the design. I just make sure this package is healthy.
  • This transparency is great, but perhaps it belongs in a Fedora design ticket instead?
  • How does this work align with the "new logo" project?

If we chose to base the design on the logo, it would be necessary to make sure the colors are in sync, so the two are related. If this sin't the appropriate place, is this the place to file the issue? https://pagure.io/design/new_issue

Yes, I believe that is correct.
