[Solved] WebTools Addon needs an SVG icon designed for it

Post by Kunda1 »

Due to the latest update of Addon Manager which now will display the specific logos of each workbench there is a need now to provide said logos. Therefore this request is being made out to the community to see if someone would be willing to design a logo for this workbench.

Here some proposals
If you have a feedback or other ideas, let me know.
I mixed web logo + tool symbol + colors from some of the tools already present in the WB.

Looks nice. My first idea was to re-use the basic icons for the Web and Test workbenches, that is, the Earth and the hammer.

Code: Select all

src/Mod/Test/Gui/Resources/icons/TestWorkbench.svg
src/Mod/Web/Gui/Resources/icons/WebWorkbench.svg
I would also add a light highlight, that is, an outline of a lighter color, or even a gradient, as that seems to be the style preferred for most icons. Your icons look a bit "flat". See Artwork Guidelines.
Always add the important information to your posts if you need help. Also see Tutorials and Video tutorials.

But these are not icons. The request is for a LOGO. Artwork Guidelines do not apply here.

Nop. FreeCAD's toolbar icons are different from Company/Organizations/Projects Logos (that are used in different contexts).
However, if the WB's author wants Tango Palette and FreeCAD guidelines for his Project logo, that is different. In this case, it is up to Yorik. Lets see what he wants.

I see your point @bitacovir but I'm leaning toward @vocx's POV, I think the guidelines apply because it's the recommendation for the UI of FreeCAD. But I'll be honest and say 'Beggars can't be choosers' and since you stepped up to wit the goods... I'm not going to reject it based on it not meeting FC guidelines. There are other WBs that don't follow them. I still would prefer the former but again won't say no to your work.

Please, don't get me wrong. I understand the relevance of Guidelines for UI of FreeCAD.
But it is not obvious for me to apply guidelines for UI stuff on branding stuff.
Anyway I changed the designs of the logo following the FreeCAD guidelines. I think they look nice.
