3.32 icon looks confusing
Since the appearance of the new simple-scan
icon this seems confusing. It is difficult to realize the metaphor used and the naked eye in the grid app is easily confused with the LibreOffice main app icon (or a high contrast version of this). This is accentuated in smaller icon sizes as when used in the Dash.
Maybe my point of view is skewed, by using for a long time Papirus Icon Theme with a design very similar to the new Adwaita icons, however, I made a very subjective little test with my office mates and it is really complex to realize that it is a representation of a scanner.
Some suggestions:
- Represent a closed scanner like this.
- Don't use a blank sheet of paper
- Replace with a paper with data (some text, image, etc.)
- Replace with a photo
- Do not put anything (I like this) and add a green power led
- Use a horizontal icon instead of vertical
Note that I am not a designer and my comment aims to make an improvement from my point of view.
