[Solved] Anyone willing to give the Pyrate WB logo a little FC community love ?

[Kunda1]

Pyrate is available via the FC Addon Manager. Check out the logo, it leaves a lot to be desired. Any folks here feel like submitting a PR to pyrate with an improved logo for their workbench ?

@joha2 just giving you a heads up that this thread is here.

I made a quick sketch of an icon for demonstration:

Since it is for an optical ray-tracer, in this sketch, the red curved part is a reflective surface like a mirror and the blue line is a ray of light reflecting off the surface forming the letter 'P' standing for Pyrate.

Very cool! @joha2 what do you think?

@joha2 all good. I CC'd you on the upstream ticket.
Props go to @AR795 for the icon.

@Kunda1, anyway it is very nice that the community cares about our project! I really appreciate that! @AR795 thank you for your effort. I think the icon is very nice. The style and reference to optics is also very nice. Although I do not think it is necessary that the icon forms a 'P'. For us 'pyrate' is more or less just a working title and may be subject to change in the future. Therefore: would it be possible to create a more neutral icon without referring to the 'P'?

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes

Edit: If modification of the icon is not possible, the original 'P' forming one, you suggested would also be nice for our project since it is way better than ours

Yes, it is possible to create more variations, two of which I thought of before:

Thank you so much for responding and changing the icon design so fast! Yesterday I phoned to mess42 and told him that you designed new icons. He was very impressed about that. I sent him a link to this thread and I think one of the two last icons above will be used for the workbench very soon.

Again big big thanks!

Best wishes
