Icon for your plugin

vrijvlinder

Noticed no icon for this plugin so I made one for anyone who wants it.

How about something like this? Just an idea I don't own this image.

vrijvlinder

yea I thought about that at first, but the action of a php logger is not comparable as a hyperbole lmao , I actually thought a chainsaw would be nice too but again the only correlation is semantics so I opted for the more relevant

Maybe drop the feather and replace it with the Vanilla logo?

vrijvlinder

yea well the feather represents the apache server feather lol , the letters look like vanilla I thought ...no?

GaryFunk

That's why the feather looks out of place. The logger is for Vanilla, not an Apache server product. And to me, the Logger is perfect in font and color.

how about this?

GaryFunk

That looks great. Dang you are good.

What about us thst run IIS?

Thanks @vrijvlinder. I thought I added an icon to the plugin. I will update it later, thanks for making me notice.

businessdad

I checked the plugin, I remembered right: it has an icon, but I might have skipped in in previous versions.

Current icon is the following:

Thanks anyway to @vrijvlinder for the additional icons.

@GaryFunk the Apache icon doesn't necessarily mean "running on Apache". The Logger is based on Log4php, which is an Apache Foundation project.

Apache Foundation/Incubation has some pretty strict licensing. I remember this from Apache Wave list. I'm pretty sure you have to clear it with them if you want to use that logo.

businessdad

@x00 If you refer to mine, it's an image I took from a free icon set, so Apache is not involved.

I wasn't referring to to yours. It was reference to the feather.

Apache likes to distinguish between it own products, and those that it funds through the foundation.

Well never mind then...I just for some reason don't like to see add ons without an icon on the list of add ons here.

If the add on does not have an icon or it is not showing in the dashboard I make my own. It helps to find it faster if you have many plugins.

Please do note that if the icon is not png it will not show in the dashboard.

I just noticed that the plugin didn't have an icon in the Addons section (while it does have it if you install it on Vanilla). I uploaded it now, to eliminate confusion.

It would be nice if the upload function of the Addon section were able to extract the icon.png from the archive and automatically use it as an icon.

That sounds like a plugin that is waiting to be made !
