Linkstage Icon?

[MisterMaker]

Was working on some Icons though I make a nice Linkstage icon.

Also made a gif of it. But can't embed that in the forum so here it is:

Thought it would be nicer for the current one.

Added SVG files.

Looks great! Just made a release today, but didn't see your post in time. I might use it for the next release. Thanks!

I am running both snap and appimage versions on my PC and unless I have different logo for both I can't see which version I am firing off.
So for now I have modified appimage one to the one below.
Something to think about? when creating new icons?
ie different version for snap and appimage ???

(how else would I know which icon is doing what?):

I mean if it works for you, but you absolutely bastardized my icon by slapping a A on it.
Why do you run 2 similar versions?

Sorry it was only temp hack and an attempt to bring to your attention the potential issue of those of us who run more than one version...
I run both snap and appimage because one is proper "edge" version, but either can go tits up so I want/need both just in case and for checking/comparison.
I am, sure I am not the only one...
I am sure you can do better

Thanks a lot!
I will test them for actual appearance on my screen and report back
(BTW - I know how to change appimage icons since I am in full control of it's integration, but have no clue how to do it for snap )
Will have to ask elsewhere I guess...

I had added a border to improve visibility but but I can just disable the border click render 4 times and here you go.

[bambuko]

... here you go.

That's probably better...
I also had an answer about snap package .desktop location (https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 47#p595138)
So I will play with both (and report back).
I am also thinking that visibility might be an issue for icons with "snap" and "APP" overlaying regular FreeCAD icon.
Perhaps they could be one above another? (I am not graphic designer , but I am old and wear bifocal glasses )

P.S. you have asked why I use both appimage and snap... here an example why:
