Sorry, I meant icon (the app icon).

Do we have a master asset for a version of the logo we want to go with? Should we run through Brandon for a little graphic arts magic?

I've put a provisional version in based on one of Heather's mockups:

super high-res Gimp master:
https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile/blob/master/scratch/logo-huge.xcf?raw=true

512x512 "app store" version:
https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile/blob/master/scratch/logo-512.png

48x48 default size for tablets & medium-res phones:

There may be some updates still coming, so leaving this open for the moment.

Created attachment 9729
Logo on Galaxy 3

Looks awkward on my phone because of the shadow. Looks worse than how the screenshot is when seen directly on the screen.

To me that looks pretty good... is it the very slight drop shadow that looks odd to you, or the shading within the square? I believe we're planning to lighten that; Heather's got an improved master copy ready to roll.

Launch icon, 4 styles

Here are 4 versions of shading and 2 options for the W aside from regular-flat.

I'm happy to make any new sizes or combinations.

This is a larger version of the last icon

Once more, with feeling!

attachment W_And_about_0109.png ignored as obsolete

That's too big I think, the shadow's cut off at the edges. :(

Last update, not cut off, size good, we kinda want *slightly* more shadow if we can figure out how to make it heavier:

[master ffa4578] another icon update :D

hwalls wrote:

Same with darker shadow

After I read your comment, I realized how to make the shadow darker.

Go Team Logo!

(If this is too dark and looks like a line instead of a shadow, I can make it lighter.)

Committed that version, we're trying it out. :D
