Icon for Chrome and Firefox stores

[dzhavat]

The extension has no icon on both the Chrome's store page and Firefox's add-ons page. It needs one so it will be more recognizable and trustworthy.

Hello, and 1k thanks for publishing this addon :-)

How about a green "open PR" icon (see the #7) followed by a ? with the same open circle as the . as the PR icon has? Maybe using GitHub's git-pull-request octicon as the basis. They are MIT-licensed, so a derivative icon seems to be allowed.

Really nice idea! I think the "open PR" icon is a good fit because the extension's purpose is directly related to PRs.

I have another idea which is a bit more complicated. It is to have a middle line (that represent master) and then have two, three or more PR-type-of-arrows (branches basically) that would like to merge with master. I'm afraid this will loke more like a spider than anything else :)

Anyway, I like your idea better. Thanks for sharing it! Do you have time to visualize it? That'd be invaluable. Will be more than happy to use it.

Cool, thanks for discussing! Not having used any graphic editing tool beyond macOS' preview so far, I'm guessing that getting into Figma and deriving 1 or 2 icon drafts from the above-described ideas would be a 2-to-3-weekends-project for me.

March is already pretty full, but maybe on & after Easter? I'll add it to my calendar, but if you or anyone is sure they can do it faster, please don't delay on my account.

I had some time today and decided to try a couple of icons.

Here are some variants:

In my opinion, the first and second ones look the best. What do you think?

Thanks for going ahead with this! I like the 1st and (in case a quadratic icon is needed) the 4th one :-)
