New logo discussion?

Have to say, that crisp, white S holds up a lot better at smaller sizes than the glowing orange S. I like the new icon and can certainly live w/out any tweaks, but it does get blurry at smaller sizes.

The font used on the apple keyboard is VAG Rounded. The one in the icon looks to be a bold version of that, not comic sans as mentioned before. I agree the white “s” looks classy. I wish icon factory had gone for realism.


It looks elegant in the dock, no?

Even unbolding it and making it look more like a macbook key looks nice on the new icon. Can’t go wrong from “borrowing” from apple’s designs right?

I’ve made this some time ago. It’s the old icon with letter “S” and “T” merged together – looks kinda like reversed question mark :smile:

This is the one that I use. I recently experimented with a different one, but came back to this one.[/quote]

[quote=“chrisguilbeau”]What about the real “S” key from your keyboard :smile:

LOVE (almost there, maybe lacking a bit of body, but the best so far)

Inspiration from Adobe icons.
Icon used is from iconSweets2

VERY nice, care to share the actual icon with us, so we can use it for the time being, while we wait for the name and icon to be changed for the final release?
I second this motion, that’s a wonderful icon and very fitting for Sublime Text.[/quote]

This looks really good, but it’s too fancy and finished. it needs to be something stripped out, minimalistic and lightweight, yet beautiful.

[quote=“dperrera”]I took the liberty of cleaning up the icon a little bit. It’s a little darker so it stands out in the dock a bit more. Hope you enjoy.

I guess the best characteristic of these logos is they doesn’t have an S. Why does every icon I’ve seen so far has to be an S or have an S when the original icon has nothing?
Can you imagine if every application icon would be or contain the application title initial?

Unfortunately the symbol of the first icon resembles more a note pad then a code editor.
I would love to see the symbol of the second icon (or some other sort of brackets wich represent code) with the visual style of the first icon on the top.

Hi, guys. Pretty cool works. Here’s my attempt in two flavors, light and dark, to match the theme you are using. I will upload the ICNS if you like them.

The light and texture are pretty good, but the key too thick…

What do you mean by ‘thick’? I’d love to improve them.

I mean the key has to much height in comparison with the frame (around the key), so reducing the height by half could be enough…
