The app icon looks much less polished than the app itself. How about we change that?

One of the great traditions of FOSS is its refusal to adopt that corporate visual design ethos which turns every logo into an abstract solid-colour silhouette optimised for mobile rendering. I like GIMP's plucky rodent, for example. A counter-example would be the sad [d]evolution of the Firefox.

We can have nice design without the corporate bullshit. They aren't the same thing.

Oh god no, please no

They have a icon contest on the main page.

That'd be great but I can't find it! Any pointers where that's happening?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Nooo leave the cute thing

Always room for awesome dudes like you!

The icon has an animal which is known as 'Jerboa'. But in Android one of the easiest tasks is to change the app icon and its name into any.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but that won't affect e.g. the icon of this sub.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I think every current Lemmy app for Android has a terrible icon lol

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I like the icon.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah something matching it's beautiful clean UI. Like a reduced jerboa head or smth.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

"Reduced jerboa head" sounds like a fancy French dish that I can't afford to order.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Your not wrong lmao. And then you order it and get 5 grams of mice meat on a huge plate garnished with a few plants that you really can't be sure if they are to eat or just to look at. Then you eat it for half an hour (you don't want to gorge), leave the plants on the side just to be safe and smile at the waiter with a forced look on your face and say that everything was so wonderful. Afterwards you go to McD's to get properly stuffed.

I'd like to see something similar to the Tusky app's logo.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm actually working on a few right now! I'll try and have em done by the end of today, and I'll see if I can post em to this community

Of course! I made a post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2002082

I just have the icons I made so far saved on a google drive folder

But yeah, like I mentioned on the post, if there's any kind of icon you want designed, feel free to ask and I'll see what I can whip up

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nooooooooo. Keep the icon. It is one of the things I like best about the app! And I'm not even joking.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Change the icon is the first thing that I have thought and I tried to create one. But a jerboa is so difficult to make as a good icon :c

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

nooo i love the icon :c

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
