ovine icons 🐏

Hand-made adaptive icons for a small selection of Android apps.

why?

I like my app icons to all be circular in the app drawer. Sometimes they don't have circular/adaptive icons or sometimes it just looks ugly or not positioned/scaled right to me. These icons are mostly meant to supplement apps that don't already have adaptive icons; not every app needs a new icon.

notes

This is now an installable icon pack! Though I'm not an Android developer and I have no idea what I'm doing, so if you spot any issues I may need some help!

Feel free to open an issue if you want me to make an icon and I may or may not decide to.

contributing

Feel free to submit an icon through a pull request if you'd like! I don't stick to any specific design language but I try to follow these personal rules to keep them feeling cohesive:

• SVG format vector drawing.
• Follow these naming conventions for the file name.
• Follow Google's adaptive icon guidelines and use the file extra/adaptive_template.svg for scale and position. Use two layers: one with an ID of background and one with foreground.
• Use vector logo or redraw it as a vector. (NO EMBEDDED RASTER IMAGES PLS)
• If you need to convert strokes to paths, please keep the original path in a separate hidden layer in case it needs to be modified later.
• If the source logo or icon looks too "busy", simplify it by reducing it to the essentials.
• No letters or text unless it's part of the logo (NOT the wordmark). (e.g. Facebook's 'f')
• No shadows.
• Gradients can be used but they should be tasteful and not too flashy.
• All colors should be sourced from the original icon, but exceptions can be made.

If an app's current icon doesn't follow these then it's probably a good candidate for this icon pack.
