Is there an update on this?  I feel like we should at least have some icon for the next release.  :(

We should also have an icon for WebGL2/WebMetal/WebGPU contexts (should probably just use the same "3D" icon as WebGL).

[Image] ABC Icons - light and dark

Initially I tried making symbolic icons, similar to the 2D canvas actions, even reusing some (pencil for drawArrays/drawElements, scissors for scissor tests, etc).

This is a simpler approach using "ABC" icons. The colors are arbitrary, and the actions reduced to categories:

V - Vertex
U - Uniform
B - Buffer
T - Texture
P - Program
S - Shader
≡ - Misc.

Symbolic icon sketches.

I tried representing things like binding, parts, relationships - but to be effective the symbols would need to be simpler, and the number of symbols reduced.
