New Empathy icon!

Par Guillaume Desmottes le mercredi, mars 16 2011, 15:19 - Nerdzage - Lien permanent

Since its first release, Empathy was using the Telepathy logo as icon.

This icon suffers different problems, the main ones being its look in smaller sizes. Also, 2 blue heads may not be the best way to present an IM client to users.

So, after lot of discussions and different propositions, Empathy has now, thanks to Jakub Steiner, a new icon! As you can see, we now have slightly different versions depending on the size.

I hope you'll like it!

if you squint it looks almost like the Internet Explorer logo :)

A bit too generic for my taste...

I think it looks just fine at smaller sizes! Very nice!

Agree with Fabian, looks a bit generic

Nice, at smaller sizes one might even omit the "face".

Can it change depending on status?

Yay, for yet another speech bubble icon!

Looks awesome, but is the face maybe slightly shifted to the right on the large version?

Oh - another icon request - can the accounts launcher have an icon != from the main empathy one? Two identical icons looks kinda odd when searching for "empa" in GS or Unity :-)

Blue is so sad. Would go better with a frowning face.

Any and all further suggestions should be submitted as mock-ups to http://empathy-icons.tumblr.com/ .

There are so much wasted blank space, that circle and smile shoud be scaled up a bit, as the proportion in the 32x32 icon.

Looks like you used rsvg to render the icon. It renders blurs with some offset in some cases, sadly exposed here on the outline of the bubble and below. This is the correct rendering:

I really like it much more than the current icon! Now how about we all get rid of the scary hypno-koala thingy? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug...
