The svg file

I think the current icon is a bit old at this point. Here is what I made with some random outline I found and traced it in inkscape. Plus, I used the normal folder icons to get it to look good.

Hi,

What are you thinking for the new icon? Any ideas? I can help create something.

I made something for myself. You can see it attached to my initial comment.

But just to be clear, that is just what I did for myself, you can obviously make something better. I just tried to make an icon that fits better with all the other  places icons. The current one seems from KDE 4 rather than plasma 5.
Comment 4 Andres Betts 2018-02-01 16:00:03 UTC
Sounds good! I will take a look.
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2018-02-01 20:14:52 UTC
This looks like a folder icon, not like an application icon.
Comment 6 Andres Betts 2018-02-01 20:16:46 UTC
I am happy to propose something. Hopefully I get a chance this weekend. Are other people in agreement that we need a refresh?
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2018-02-01 21:39:39 UTC
I agree with Christoph. This looks like a folder icon, not an app icon. It's not appropriate for use as the app icon.

Personally, I don't see anything wring with the current app icon. "Old" isn't a problem. :)
Comment 8 andreas 2018-02-02 10:18:08 UTC
for me the existing dolphin app icon isn't a problem but I'm open for proposals. the dolphin on a folder didn't work it look like a folder.
Comment 9 Alex L 2018-02-06 14:57:40 UTC
The proposed one uses a folder icon as base, while current Dolphin icon is different on purpose.

Please in general don't change things just for the sake of doing it but bring good reasons.
Comment 10 Andres Betts 2018-02-06 15:50:29 UTC
That is why I asked earlier if people were feeling like a refresh is necessary. I started working on a new icon. Should I stop that?
Comment 11 Nate Graham 2018-04-20 03:34:57 UTC
Doesn't looks like we're going to do this. The current icon is pretty good I say!
