kovidgoyal, I made a new Icon completely vector based, so no BMP inside a SVG. Let me know what you think and more importantly, if it works.

Works for me, i'm updating the icon in libprs500 lets see how it looks in the app.

Let me know if it needs adjustment.

One suggestion is that you embed it as a separate object in a square svg, otherwise, when used as an icon it gets distorted. Also at smaller sizes it may be better to use fewer lines with a little more spacing to represent text.

I put is as one object in a square svg and removed multiple text lines. Also I made the buttons bigger so they look better when displayed in a small icon.

thanks looking good, I'll use it in the next release of libprs500.

No problem. Could you make a screen shot when you have implemented it because I don't use your software but like to see how it looks. Thanks!

Here you are

jamesdmanley · 10-23-2007, 04:19 PM

nice!

JSWolf · 10-23-2007, 04:22 PM

The buttons should be on the right side of the reader. It's OLD technology.

kovidgoyal · 10-23-2007, 04:24 PM

nah I like it the way it is, I don't want it looking too much like any one model

JSWolf · 10-23-2007, 04:26 PM

As it is, it looks most like a Cybook Gen3.

@ Jon, I never seen a Cybook. No really!

I just looked it up and I think it doesn't even come close to a Cybook 3rd gen.

Or is this not the Cybook Gen3. So many different pictures on Google. :P

I like it -- maybe we can swipe it for an forum logo candidate.

I can make nicer icons than this, but this was my first vector based one. I'm just a young grasshopper if it comes to vectors. "What's our vector, Victor?"...sorry when I use the word "vector" it all comes back to me.
