I had this posted in a reply but I think it needs a bit more attention so I’ll start a new discussion. I’ve been awhile for quite awhile due to work but still lurking. Looks like icon stuff has once again come to a hot topic.

With this in mind perhaps a separate private community could be created to bring this topic to a final closure. One that will be heavily moderated and controlled so that it is an inviting environment for creativity and is meant to drive everyone to a final goal. To share and critique in a respectable manner. This is a great community and I can see this issue rubbing people the wrong way and creating unwanted friction which would not be optimal. 

I personally would be behind this idea as I believe it would be a way to properly share ideas and other icons out there that could possibly spark something wonderful. 

I know that some may believe this to be a bad idea because it creates a separate community and leaves out some people but I do not believe this to be a bad thing. We currently have almost 2,200 members and we don’t need that many people all giving opinions. Not saying they aren’t important but you can not please everyone. 

This way people who truly want to develop an icon/brand/name for this app can help and we won’t flood this community for those who are here for technical support and actual knowledge of the app itself.

I could add a poll but this is a decision that will of course be Pierre’s. Feel free to + if you are one of those who would like to see this idea come to fruition and drive that community to create something great.

I have an X I actually like but nothing else to think of from there lol. May just have to keep that for something else down the road and wait to try another attempt at a logo when I get a fresh idea.

Sorry for creating a bunch of separate posts for different once but I clearly have too much time on my hands. Just kinda throwing out stuff. Would really like to see new icon ideas from others and get LLX and nice shiny icon in time for Android 5.0.

Might look at putting some kind of shield/badge/background thing on this one. Don’t know yet and it’s getting late.

Slight revision of my other.

Just kinda messing around with a few things today. Not the best of course but would at least like to keep the topic going to possibly find that one that can be polished and made final regardless of who designs it.

Adding a few tweaked versions of my initial idea seen here:

I personally like the second better out of these two I think. Colors still up for change as always.

Just another attempt at an icon. Yes I know the “X” inside isn’t the best quality. Gimp just isn’t as good as Photoshop for something quick and I don’t have time to fix it before going out tonight. I will work on it a bit later tomorrow or something. Colors again can be changed that’s not a big deal.

Just throwing some more in the mix of things here. The shadow could use tweaking to fit the specific material specs but I do not own illustrator.

Couldn’t get my previous attempt to look any better so I decided to go back and edit a previous idea I had for an icon. Obviously the color the bolt can change to whatever. I couldn’t pick a color I really liked so I’ll have to mess with it a bit to find the right one and maybe update again.

I wanted to just mess with things a bit before bed and I’ve been running low on time to actually contribute. Ended up with something I at least found interesting. It’s very rough as I haven’t bothered to make sure things are even and what not. Colors also a bit bright but I need sleep and I don’t feel like looking up material design color palettes. 

It could also probably use some tweaking so it looks more like a lightning bolt and maybe less like a crooked N or Z or something.
