Perhaps Niels can be of assistance here? :) I have played with some ideas for an icon. But I have lost my skills in illustration. Example images (accidentally posted to Bug 9932): Attachment 9469 [details] Attachment 9470 [details] Created attachment 9548 [details]
Icon proposal
I didn't have much time, but I managed to create the attached icon. If you guys are interested I will attach the original psd, which can be used to create multiple sizes with transparency.

Proposal in various sizes

Some more pixelpushing for 32x32 and 64x64
I like the illustration style of this! However, it immediately says venus fly-trap to me. Digging around google images I found another drosera picute that shows the unique look of a drosera plant. http://myco-cheype.chez-alice.fr/images/Fleurs/drosera_intermedia2.jpg They really don't have 2 sides like a venus fly-trap, but they do curl or contract the sticky tentacles around prey. (In reply to comment #7) > They really don't have 2 sides like a venus fly-trap, but they do curl or > contract the sticky tentacles around prey. The interesting thing is what the "prey" should be (if it's part of the icon). Should it be a real insect (like a fly), or should it be something abstract like a WebKit icon? :) The tentacles could represent the "attached" relationship that Drosera has with its "prey".... Okay, I'll stop the analogy there. > The interesting thing is what the "prey" should be (if it's part of the icon).

Just a comment from a user... take it as you wish.
But shouldn't the "pray" rappresent the bugs in the code? In the end Drosera kills the bug, not the program itself. :) I wouldn't put the webkit icon, but that's just an opinion.

I guess it wasn't a very good analogy after all. :) Created attachment 9565 [details]
Second proposal
Added a second proposal. This time a real drosera. The last was indeed a combination of a flytrap and a drosera. Regarding the pray: I think this will become to much detail.
This looks great! Created attachment 9738 [details]
OS X icon file of second proposal
Added icon file which can be dropped in the Drosera package.

OS X icon file of second proposal
This is great, I am going to land this. We might consider adding a bug to the icon at some point. Can we get a large version of this 512x512 or larger?
Landed in r15753. I created the icon at ~1200x1200, so I can create 512x512 without any problem. I'll attach it to this bug. I'll also add the original Photoshop file to this bug. Created attachment 13051 [details]
PNG of 512 x 512 pixel version
The original Photoshop document at 1024 x 1024 pixels: http://rakaz.nl/artwork/drosera/drosera1024.zip Thanks Niels! Closing since Drosera has been replaced by the new Web Inspector debugger. Moving to the New Bugs component so the Drosera component can be closed and removed. |
