Dedicated icons for marble
I'm thinking of something globe-like. Not quite sure this is it, might be just the colours.
alt:
How about a simplistic approach as this one?
#5114 could be symlinked or slightly altered.
#5349 could be implemented as this wire globe or a simple circle on top of the connector.
Even though it's an align-to-grid-nightmare I absolutely love that second one!
Ah, it doesn't work with the axis upright due to the very reason of alignment. Strokes need to be 2px then which doesn't look good at all.
Got another idea I'll give a shot in the next days: latitude/longitude lines on top of a circle instead of a "hollow wire globe".
Found a way to simplify this a bit more.
Maybe the polar circles should be slightly bent.
I prefer lines on a solid circle, looks less busy and more like an actually usable globe.
No I could go "so far" and do something like in the new GNOME Web aka Epihany icon, differently coloured surfaces instead of lines, probably more Numixy.
We could use the first design (without stand and tilt + using original colours) for a redesigned Epiphany icon.
I'll need some more experimenting to see if it can replace the icon using the browser baseplate or incorporating a globe symbol. Strictly speaking this design would require distinct colouring for Circle and Square to cater for the respective light sources.
Since the symbol is tilted here, simply flipping horizontally will probably do the trick in this case.
I think the first and second designs look a bit too 3D b/c of the curvature. Out of curiosity, how does the first design look when the lines are straightened out as the third design?
Finally some progress here,@Foggalong. Globe design, straightened out latitudes.
Pushing this one. I still think it is borderline 3Dish but it doesn't work with just a solid-colour circle.
