[dev] Opensource (multiboot) Bootloader: Efidroid (formerly Grub4android)

[grsgs]

in a matter of design, since grub is some sort of parasite, you can use "ouroboros" style instead of a triangle.

The ouroboros is the emblem of the eternal return and the cyclical nature of time. Its symbolism joined the Phoenix constantly reborn from its ashes .

just a suggestion

 

[redmaner]

I made a (huge) icon of the sample above

So I made a (huge) icon from the above sample

Nice and much better than the first one

 

[redmaner]

In the attachment is a zip file with all icons, psd's etc.
Icons for mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi are included.

Edit: attachment deleted,

 

[redmaner]

Ok another sample again.
I have to admit that a triangle isn't that original, so I picked a eight angle this time.
This way it looks a little bit like a "ouroborus" just like @grsgs mentioned only without the parasite
I also added some 3d so you look on top of the icon, like the android guidelines suggest.
And finally I used a more HD power icon which looks more smoother and better then the old one.

RESULT:

i think the gauge (right term? or tickness/depht) on the higher part is ugly and without is much better.

I totally agree with you, that's why I removed it.
It's actually a google guideline, but Google isn't doing it for all their apps either (like chrome).

Great work!
It's a Kitkat guidline. for L everything needs to be flat and simple
btw wouldn't it look even better if you reduce the size of the power button so the circle part could be centered?( or just move the circle upwards)

Something like this? Yes it looks better

 

[M1cha]

awesome btw the border of this icon must feel great on a tactile screen
and: what about the left border of the brightest part? the gradient looks a little bit weird imo

Yes you're right, looked a little weird indeed.
Because of Android L and flat design I would like to know what you think of this:

 

[X4nfire]

@redmaner @M1cha just a different perspective :

I didn't have the time to make it appropriate, my photoshop skills are very limited and rusty, i couldn't find a layer so i edit it as a jpg.Colors are : cyan #00bcd4 blue grey #b0bec5 grey #424242

 

[M1cha]

I'm not sure. maybe you should take a look at the new chrome icon - they use a similar effect:

[redmaner]

Ok I'll see if I can enhance it futher tomorrow

 

[grsgs]

I made this on "paint" coz im too lazy to install photoshop and i wanted to share with you my idea

 

[redmaner]

Another day, another try.
This time trying to add some more flatness into it, and trying a circle for the outside border


Edit:
I think eight angles is nicer then a circle.
But these colors and shadows are better then the old ones

Let me know what you guys think, a circle isn't bad either and better for an icon

 

[M1cha]

@redmaner the shadow's are great now. I would remove the gradient on the left of the brightest piece though.
the eight angle is better indeed - I think u can keep the new colors and shadows and "just" restore the old form.

Excellent, will finish it tomorrow

Thanks m1cha for your amazing job with our MI

Thanks m1cha for your amagazing job with our MI

When it well be ready. I'm currently using it with no problems, but it's not recommend for everyone

 

[redmaner]

I don't think it needs any explanation anymore

 

[M1cha]

@redmaner looks great
thx for your work

 

[redmaner]

@redmaner looks great

No problem, at the attachment is a zip file with app icons, some headers and the icon in 512 x 512 pixels for playstore

 

[VinSWADED]

I'm hungry, ready for some grub..

I like it. Very nice done.
But if you want it flat, flat icons don't have shadows. That is what makes them flat.
