SUMMARY *** The KDE Itinerary application currently displays an aeroplane icon as its app logo, representing the travel planning feature of the application. I propose that the icon be updated to better reflect other modes of transport, such as trains, which reflect the sustainability values of the KDE community. *** Rationale: In times of impending climate disaster, it is important to reflect environmental values. A more inclusive transport icon demonstrates sustainable travel options and encourages users to consider environmentally friendly alternatives to flying. Proposed solution: - Replace the current aeroplane icon with a more generic transport icon representing a combination of public transport vehicles such as trains, buses and trams. This change would make the app icon more inclusive and highlight the different sustainable travel options available to users. - Alternatively, if a more specific icon is desired, consider using an icon that represents a train, as trains are often a more sustainable alternative to air travel for long distance travel. Benefits: - Aligns with the promotion of sustainability and environmentally friendly practices. - Encourages users to consider green travel options when planning their trips. - Reinforces KDE's identity as a sustainability-conscious community. I'm not a designer, but I could try to help create an icon that would help promote and reflect an environmentally conscious attitude among users :)
There's a train icon in the same series/style, but that's already in use by KTrip: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/ktrip/-/blob/master/src/org.kde.ktrip.svg

Perhaps a possible solution could be to use a combination of transport icons, such as trains, buses and trams, to represent a wider range of sustainable travel options and also better reflect the diversity of public transport available to users.
