Feels traffic lightly 🚦

Maybe first design is a better fit?

What do you think about this design?

[ericfennis]

@karsa-mistmere That will work. I think the right one will look the best on 100% scale with the tiny pins.

[jguddas]

All feel hard to identify.

[midnight-wonderer]

I like the top left one in the alternative designs. For three reasons:

• The aspect ratio of the chip looks familiar. While the ratio itself IRL depends on pin count, I work with many ICs with similar ratios to that one.
• It has eight pins. While six pins are not unusual, eight are easier to come by.
• No weird line on top of the package. I don't know what that depicts.

PS. Do you remember this guy?

Probably add a curve on top to depict marking similar to the real IC package.

Some further variations:

[jguddas]

Do you have the studio link for the right most one 2nd row?

Do you have the studio link for the right most one 2nd row?

I didn't but now I do:

Open lucide studio

Hmm I'm more in for the first design. To keep it simple. I know the notch is there in some chips in real life. But feels a bit weird to me to make it part of the design. I think the shape should be consistent with the CPU icon.

But it's my opinion if you all like this design I go with you.

[jguddas]

What about rotating it +90°? Most icons that can be horizontal are horizontal after all?
