Create and use Usage emblem
Many GNOME apps or libraries have an emblem that is used for their GitLab page and Matrix room that helps with their branding. It would be nice if Usage also has this.
The main benefits from using an emblem over the ususal app icon are:
- Visibility - The GitLab and Matrix icons often are rendered very small. Symbolic icons, which are used in emblems, can keep the icon recognizable at small sizes.
- Adaptiveness - The GitLab and Matrix icons can either be a square or circle. A full sized icon can be partly cropped in its edges, a zoomed out emblem does not have this problem.
- Consistency - Multiple GNOME apps or chat rooms like Shell and LibAdwaita already have an emblem. A dedicated app has been made for generating these emblems, so it seems to be a growing pattern.
Below are some examples generated with Emblem of how an emblem could look like. When in use, they will be circular or have rounded corners.
