Hey @dubielzyk-expensify can you remind me what we need to do here? The linked thread doesn't contain your solution. Which I think is to provide a dark mode icon for OldDot?
According to their documentation we need to provide a dark mode asset. Light mode and tinted mode is working well already so here's the dark mode variations:
That should give us this look on mobile:

Thanks Jon.
The icons you shared have the squared edges and I wonder if that is desired or not? We're already using the rounded logo in production, so I'm not sure which is expected.
Ahh, I just used a Figma file I found but the wrong artboards. My bad! I'll fix
@Julesssss @muttmuure @dubielzyk-expensify this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!
Reopening as this wasn't fully implemented. I created a new PR that supports light, dark, and tinted icons here.
Hey @dubielzyk-expensify, the themed icon for Expensify looks a bit odd with the different shades. Should we use the same single shade for themed icons? (to match the NewDot logo) Or is it fine as-is?

My 2 cents is a big yes to this. I think the ND one looks way better IMO.
Agree with big yes. Now there'll be no way to differentiate them though. I've made a white version which means the tint will apply fully. We could do a gradient or something else here or even have the outer rings be a bit more faded. Here's a few variations.
If we just want white, then use these: tinted-icon.zip
Oohh very nice.

The good news is that we're very close to delisting the New Expensify standalone app, so that won't be a problem. To align with the OS app icons I lean towards solid, but I am NOT-A-DESIGNER
@dannymcclain let us know your thoughts on the icon options and I'll implement.
My vote would be to go flat, since we don't use gradients really anywhere in our brand system.
Agree with flat! I actually also really like the faded outer ring version, but since we're going to be delisting "New Expensify" soon I think it makes sense to just go flat as that most closely represents the latest and greatest iteration of our iconmark. (Jon also knew Shawn and I were going to say flat which is why he went ahead and included the files for that one 🤣)
Great, thanks all.
@dubielzyk-expensify, maybe I missed it, but could you please share a 1024x1024 asset? I could only see up to 512x512. FYI, as of iOS 18, we now only need to provide a single asset, which is automatically resized.
