Team icons redesign
I had a few pet peeves with the current team icons, which basically led me to redesign the entire set (I know, overkill, but still):
- They're all based on existing Font Awesome icons, whose relevance to the team being represented by them range from spot-on (like the Kotlin logo — can't go wrong with that) to completely irrelevant (a rocket doesn't really have much to do with Build Tools, for example). With these custom icons we don't have to find FA icons that match what we want as much as possible.
- Another downside with using FA icons is that a lot of them are FA Pro only, which means you must have a Pro license to obtain the raw SVG files. @gdude2002, who made these icons, has a FA Pro license, but that doesn't mean we can distribute the modified SVGs and claim them as our own, hence we are stuck with rasterized PNGs. Icons need to be scaled up and down often so a vector image format is obviously preferable, and only having raster images can really hurt us down the road.
Critiques/bikeshed welcome x3 I've already had to revise one of them anyway.
Remaining Icons
- Decompilers
- Loader
- Infrastructure
Completed Icons
Team | Icon | Team | Icon |
---|---|---|---|
Build Tools | Chasm | ||
Community Tooling | Kotlin | ||
Mappings | QSL (adapted from a scrapped design of @Prospector's) |
I feel like the community tooling icon could be better since it feels like it doesnt fit in much but idk what a good replacement would look like (~~sucks because it was partly our idea too~~)
I don't think the mappings icon will work at small sizes, but I like these so far.

The contrast with the ears in dark mode isn't great

I mean, I can just enlarge the patches and it'll be fine I think
