Fernando Rodrigues | oh, that's just symbolic. | 21:43:42 |
Fernando Rodrigues | anyways, #2 is Nixpkgs Review Requests. The goal was to emulate the git additions and removals UI that GitHub presents reviewers with. | 21:44:30 |

Fernando Rodrigues | #3 is NixOS System Operations. It's the Hydra room icon, flipped around and recoloured so it more or less matches the current room icon. | 21:45:22 |

@emma:rory.gay | i'd like less focus on github tbh | 21:46:08 |
Fernando Rodrigues | #4 is NixOS Security Discussions, which is currently almost entirely white. | 21:46:13 |

Fernando Rodrigues | #5 is NixOS Infrastructure, which currently has a white on cyan icon. I've increased the contrast somewhat, but I'm not sure if it was a good idea to keep the colour scheme. | 21:47:14 |
@emma:rory.gay | i want to just let you know that none of these would look good as a room icon | 21:47:22 |

@emma:rory.gay | not very circle-friendly :) | 21:47:33 |
Fernando Rodrigues | Actually, all of them were tested inside a circle. That's the mask we use in the SVG template. | 21:47:56 |
Fernando Rodrigues | Consider, for instance, the Github Org Owners icon. | 21:48:47 |

Fernando Rodrigues | The same design applies for every icon here, and it's still recognisable, even on a very low res. | 21:49:30 |
@emma:rory.gay | this room sure doesnt | 21:50:03 |

Fernando Rodrigues | This room has a randomly generated icon. | 21:50:24 |

@emma:rory.gay | both the flake and globe icons get cut off | 21:50:38 |
Fernando Rodrigues | Here's what I propose as a replacement for it. | 21:50:58 |

Fernando Rodrigues | That's part of the template for every NixOS channel. Part of the charm, imo. | 21:51:13 |
Fernando Rodrigues | * That's part of the template for every NixOS channel. It was like that far before I got here. Part of the charm, imo. | 21:51:30 |
@emma:rory.gay | i mean, it doesnt seem to on yours | 21:52:32 |
@emma:rory.gay | . | 21:52:42 |
Fernando Rodrigues | it does. every single one of these icons follow the same template, including org owners. they all have their globes cut off. | 21:52:58 |
@emma:rory.gay | as for this one, this honestly feels too generic | 21:53:38 |
dgrig | (fwiw, thank you for pushing for these changes, to me the examples shown so far make a lot of sense and are easily recognizable. The few rooms that have these icons already applied are so much easier to recognize now instead of in the paste) | 21:53:46 |
