I made a set of icons for Voyager, that pay tribute to Apollo. Any donations to download will be spent on Apollo merch.

I especially like the bottom ones, not sure if aeharding would be willing to take them in because they look really close to Apollo, but I’d actually love to have them in the app.

They are cool, but too Apollo like to add to Voyager.

However, if someone gets Christian’s permission, I’d be happy to add them!

@carmine@lemmy.world do you want to give that a try?

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Voyager has cloned almost all of Apollo’s UI and UX patterns. Why is this the line in the sand?

[-] carmine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I can understand why you might not be keen to add these. I'm not sure Christian would be too keen, and I don't particularly want to bother him to find out. Also, having thought about some other people's feedback in this thread, I don' think the antenna makes sense. I decided to have another stab, but tried some original ideas and ditched the Apollo trappings. Here's something that could just be Voyager. Let me know what you think. I could make these all day!

Sorry, only just saw this comment! Here’s a link to a zip with this icon and a simpler variant if you’d like to add one. I think the simpler one looks better when scaled down on a home screen personally. Please use my real name, Will Green, in the credit if you do :)

And please let me know if you need them in any other format.

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do you have an updated ZIP? 😅

[-] carmine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, didn’t know that link would expire. I’ve added these to Gumroad where they will exist permanently! https://willgreen.gumroad.com/l/voyager-apollo?layout=profile

Is this likely to make it in? Can’t believe the insane amount of updates you’ve been dropping recently!

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's been on the back of my mind, likely soon, there has just been higher priority things recently.

[-] carmine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Whoops. I linked the wrong icon! This is the one you’re after. I did also share in a DM on LinkedIn :) https://willgreen.gumroad.com/l/voyager?layout=profile

Hey, thanks again for making this icon :)

I was looking at adding it, the only problem I found is the textured finish makes it very hard to compress for a small size for the bundle. Because the icon is displayed so small, this texture isn't seen much anyways.

So, if you want to provide an alternate icon with smooth gradients I would be happy to finally get this in haha

[-] carmine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe you'd consider adding this original icon I made to the client as it doesn't have any Apollo/Reddit references? There seems to be at least some demand for it in my other post

[-] burkybang@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Bottom ones are best

[-] mikeboltonshair@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Looks great I’d use the bottoms ones for sure

[-] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Definitely not antennas

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I like the antenna but not the eyes in the top one.

[-] carmine@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I’ll do another variant with the antenna and the bottom eyes for you. Will share it later on when I’m back at my desk.

[-] fer0n@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Agreed. I had the same eyes on the one that ended up being the current icon, but they started to look super weird to me. I like to bottom/current eyes way better.

[-] nitefox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I really like the bottom ones. Would be cool if there was a darker shade

[-] carmine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I decided to have another go at an icon, this time ditching any Apollo inspiration and the antenna. I posted it in a new thread here.

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

no an voyager logo in a tv with rabbit ears would be better
