I knew there will be a zipper involved. Everyone hated the classical ball on the paper approach, while I feel quite comfortable with that. This just looks too much like an exe icon, not a file/archive icon. When I see something as colorful as this, I tend to double click it with the intention of running it. Also the red+blue doesn't really fit together. Its like USA and USSR.

Retro is very against the idea of putting the icon on a piece of paper, so I'm out of ideas here. Besides, it was more Josh's idea to have LGM/ENIGMA joined by a zipper, since that explains how the format is principally a zip file.

Move the zipper to the left 1 pixel on the 24x24 render.

HaRRi: This will not run when you double click it. You must double click it, then press "run". Point is, it's one step away from an executable; it may as well be fancy-looking.

Still open to suggestions for a more creative icon.

Take the GNOME 3 package-x-generic image:

and the ENIGMA logo:


Combine.

And actually stylise the logo, not copypaste.

I might do this later if I find the time.

I made that by accident a while back. It's not exactly spot on
Point is, it's easy to recolor ENIGMA's logo.

Retro hates Windows and therefore refuses to accept anything zipper-related.

I can try to put my icon onto the box later and see how it looks.

I think HaRRiKiRi has a point here. It's not an executable, but it's styled as if it was.

I'm not against a zipper.  I'm against this one because it's ugly as hell.

You mean you can't make anything better, that is. Still, it's good, and better than anything you will make that isn't 90% ripped off from gnomes.

Actually this is as good as a zipper + LGM ball + ENIGMA ball combined can be. It doesn't look bad, but it does look like an exe icon. Not an archive or a regular file. The reason why I like just an icon on a page is because everyone does it, and so it looks standardized when I open up a folder with hundreds of files. On the other hand this is the same reason why some of you don't like it, as "everyone does it" is good enough reason not to do it around here.
It could also look good with an icon on a box. So that's worth experimenting as well. I actually don't like the idea that you want both logos in the icons. I know that LGM is the one that does the loading and saving of the file, but it will be created for the ENIGMA project and I do think that ENIGMA logo should be on the icon and not the LGM's.

I, erm, can make it look better?  You don't have to get annoyed when someone thinks that what you made in flash in 10 minutes isn't really that good. :/

[TheExDeus]

This is a 1min work just to show how it would look on a box:



The third one was to make it more like a tag on a box, but I think color is important to differentiate fast between icons, so the ball should retain its blue color.

But if you can't make anything better then you can't say anything even about bad stuff. Also, who da fuck draws in flash?

Can you also do 24x24 and 48x48 ones? (or 24x24 I guess is more important) to get a size idea?

[TheExDeus]

22x22 is so god damn tiny that nothing good can be made in that resolution. My icons aren't so small, so I can't really say where they would be used (in some process bar or something?). Also, yes, I did 22x22 not 24x24 because the box image is not in 24x24 and I didn't want to change that. Also, more detail in the logo could be achieved if I used the SVG, but still, 22x22 is not that many pixels (and the logo itself can only take about 7x7 to fit).
