New Community Icons
(programming.dev)
Ive been working on some unified icons for the instance so the icons feel like they belong together
Let me know if you like them or if there's some adjustments I should make
Some examples from ones I've done
The majority of them are generated from https://game-icons.net/ with the settings of foreground being shrunk twice and position being x:2 y:2. Foreground color is diagonal from 2EE5D2 to A01FC5. And has a shadow with color 423025 and blur set to 15. The background color is just black
I think we could also help some mods to find project artwork or logos that are textless, increasing their relative size for easier visual recognition. E.g.
Textless:
Of course some icons are unavoidably text, like php, R, C/C++, etc.
But their also common enough to ID on sight given additional color cues.
Java coffee? No way, we should use Duke!
I'm actually fine either way, I just have a soft spot for weird mascots, like the 1996 Olympics mascot Izzy.
