Re: [libreoffice-design] MimeType icons - first draft ready for discussion

Hi Bernhard,

Overall, I think the icons are great!  I have a few quick comments about
your last email and the icon set in general:

These should probably be de-emphasized; I think these, (if they are needed)
can be modifications of the gray gradient background of the "Math" and
"Macros" icon set.

*Macros Icon:
*The icon concept is great, but the gears look a little too much like stars
to me, especially in the larger icons.  The "axle" circle could also be
smaller, and potentially not included in the small logo icons (I can't say
for sure and Inkscape is currently not working for me so I can't try it
out).  Additionally, (though this is a minor issue) the gears have small
graphical issues in the .png file, small white lines between the objects you
used to make the "teeth."

*Draw Icon:*
There simply isn't a 16 px one... is this simply an oversight?

*16 bit Calc Icon:*
Have you considered making the "squares" (that is the white space) another
pixel larger?  I think it would look clearer.

*Main application Icon:*
For Macs, since they use vector application icons, I think a little of the
gradient grid (the stuff in the corners of the 128px template icons) would
look nice for the main application icon.

*Lastly... template vs. doc/app Icons:*
I personally prefer the simplicity of the template icons over the brightness
of the colors in the app/doc icons.  In my every day work I would much
rather see the "template" icon set.  I believe that you are using the
"white" to convey the concept of a template but perhaps there is a different
way to express that.  Just my opinion though... perhaps others would
disagree...

Once again, overall I think they are just great!  Clean lines and simple
concepts are expressed in a way that is intuitive.  :o)

Cheers,
Jaron
