New logo

This is a task for a contributor. I'm incapable of (good!) graphics design.

The logo isn't terrible, but it's not reflective of what AQEMU is either.

We need the help of a graphics designer, who can make a modern icon, that fits to a Virtual Machine GUI.

Preferably the logo should be produced as a SVG file or high resolution PNG.

It should look decent in icon typical resolutions like in a task bar or title bar.

Of course, this must be an original work. You have to license it under GPLv2, or another GPLv2 compatible license (best would be MIT).

I made this image out of the Breeze SVG for Computer. I set the 22px icon inside the 64px icon and simplified the messy background. It works well from a size of 64px and up.

Thanks.

We need an icon that still looks good and discernable at small sizes such as 22px or 16px.

In my mind this icon doesn't stand out and isn't obviously representative of virtual machines or a virtual machine manager.

I saw this page for a case and I thought about spending a couple of hours trying to propose something. maybe it's late but ... it's never too late ;)

I try to explain my proposal:

• the black circle with the red dot represents the "Q" of QEMU
• the black triangle represents the "A" of AQEMU
• the external box contains the QEMU VMs

the icon is well recognizable even if reduced to 16x16 px (I use it already in my linux machine)

here the scalable SVG
