this week I’m designing an icon for BitRitter: a Bitwarden client for #gnome by @chfkch.

@hbons the second looks niceelr, but the banner makes it look more like an achievement.

Note: ritter and tourney are achievements

@hbons @chfkch @jimmac A GNOME-native Bitwarden Client? I really like the icon, great work

[chfkch@ruhr.social]

@moonglum
It is still an early stage of development and sometimes upstream changes cannot be incorporated quickly, but for read only mode it is quite usable.

done! drew the rest of the f***ing owl.

played with a couple of palette variations. the blue bordered one works the best on light+dark backgrounds.

@hbons It looks really good! You nailed the Gnome look.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@calvicii thank you! love working with the GNOME icon style.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

if you like this, I'm aiming to provide at least one #foss project with an app icon every week.

honoured to have gained around 40 supporters in my first jobless month! ️

your sponsorship will help me keep this up.

hey everyone, you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs… also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about. I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can: - 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME - ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible? thank you. :) https://github.com/sponsors/hbons

@hbons Somehow those four dots immediately make my brain go: Oh a captains shield. Because you know Star Trek

[henryg@pixey.org]

looks good!

[valpackett@social.treehouse.systems]

@hbons coool, whenever i get around to app making rather than kernel stuff i'll be sure to commission icons from you

[theakashmondal@mstdn.social]

@hbons It's really stunning ️.

Which software do you use to create this icon ?

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@theakashmondal thank you!

at the moment I use Figma. but I was a big Inkscape user. any editor supporting SVG will work for this simple style.

[theakashmondal@mstdn.social]

@hbons The icon is simple but it has an eye appealing feel to it. It's like I really want to see it.

I've only used Figma twice or thrice to align the icon on android. Otherwise, I use Boxy SVG.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@theakashmondal credits go to @jimmac @lapz @tbernard and others for developing such a great style to work with!

[bart@floss.social]

@hbons We're realy looking for one! https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-tile-spec/issues/942

Ideally one that matches our current logo (I know it is a bit generic). https://maplibre.org/brand-assets/

[hbons@mastodon.social]

this week's app icon is for myself.
guess who's back. #SparkleShare

#linux #gnome #app #icon #design

[hbons@mastodon.social]

because... I've been busy setting up page where #FOSS projects can request free design work for me.

mostly icon related for now as it helps me plan. UI design will come later once I figure out what that process will look like and it's a much bigger time investment.

have a look!
