@rinigus, please upload the 792x792 PNG version of the new logo as avatar picture of the organisation
sailfishos-chum
. If you wonder about the space around it: This is done on purpose, because at some places GitHub displays a circular clipping of avatar pictures (both, of individuals and organisations), hence this is a 560×560 Px² icon on a 792×792 Px² canvas, because560 × √2 = 791,959594929
, so the logo is still fully visible when clipped circularly. If you strongly prefer the logo to use the full space where it is primarily displayed, then upload its 560x560 PNG version.This supersedes my former contribution and request #54, which you kindly fulfilled in January 2022.
Background
I am finishing off the "new icon" story (in order for it not becoming a never-ending one), after discussion and feedback was very little (most comments threw in new designs) and my tries to guide the process constructively failed. My original intention was not to push my own design (I do not think it is more than mediocre, originally it was intended as an example how a simple, easy to interpret icon might look like), but all other designs do not fulfil either basic technical (an SVG, which fully adheres to Jolla's guidelines) and / or visual (high contrast, with a few, simple and easy to interpret graphical elements) requirements.
Actually the "finishing off" part made me re-create my former icon drafts from the scratch, to fully comply with Jolla's reasonable guidelines, which needed a few days of tedious work (now I do know Inkscape and basic vector graphic design workflows well).
I hope you also perceive this new icon as an improvement, I have no issue for it to become superseded by something better. Still I will likely apply my gained knowledge for proper quality assurance: technically (properly constructed SVG), visually (contrast, simplicity, conforming to Jolla's guidelines) and WRT interpretability (easy to comprehend for all on first sight).
