MoFEM Icons

Post by Helios113 »

Hello Everyone,

I am currently implementing MoFEM functionality in FreeCAD. As such I made a few icons for the UI and I wanted to know if they are ok and just get some general feedback.

The icons are:
  1. The MoFEM logo

  2. A spring boundary condition for the FEM workbench
    FEM_ConstraintSpring.svg
    (3.7 KiB) Downloaded 77 times
  3. A bone icon used to signify the bone remodelling analysis type
    FEM_TypeBone.svg
    (5.65 KiB) Downloaded 66 times
Regards,
Preslav

Do you know the guidelines for FreeCAD icons?: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Artwork_Guidelines
Also there is a palette of colors for FreeCAD icons: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=19952
You can have a look of the existing icons and maybe you can adapt some of them for your purposes. https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Artwork
These icons don't follow the guidelines. Please consider to fix them, if possible.

Hey,
Thanks for the suggestions. I had no idea that there were guidelines. I tired amending one of the icons, you can see it here:

Also, is there an approval process for a new icon as part of a PR?

Cheers,

You just need to follow the guidelines and if you want you can ask feedback here in this sub forum. Therefore, you are doing good.
About your icon, I think it is much better now.
Just fix the overlapping color (the horizonal line) and you can give round corners to the strokes. Also. You must save the files as Plain SVG format (Save as - Plain SVG).
