Why not keep the exact same squircle of the current harmattan icons, with flat design?
for example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c82i1pgszwi9p8s/ex.psd

I really like that squircle, we should use that as the standard template then .

so we can use the standard meego icon template but with solid color background (flat)...?

Edit:

what's that fuzz about a license?

EDIT: i made an imitation of the more square squircle shape thepolo posted. it's anti aliased and more square than the original squircle from nokia. i can post a template if anyone would like to use it.

original squircle on right, square-er version on left.

mcbook - yeah that's what we are going for. Licence? I don't know either.

Kapu2 - thanks, but I feel thepolos template feels a bit more modern.

I think they look the same but ok haha

I feel the other ones are a little bit different :P

Due to the license issues I have just become aware of, I have removed the majority of the theme. Please save a copy of blanco on your computer and when making changes, just add things in. I presume we have to modify things ourselves before we can upload them. So thats just how we will work then.

Also, kapu2, are you interested in joining the git to help contribute, sounds like you would be very helpful

I like the standard harmattan squircle...
keep things nice and flat and we should be good.

Also I don't think that the icons should be the main focus of a new design as there are a lot of other things that need some work (status bar, chat whindow, lock screen,....

I didn't like the message icon from page 4 to be honest. I find it too blunt and plain. I would much prefer if there was some type of outline to it, and a slight gradient

I usually start with icons when designing a theme, they kinda dictate where the rest of the theme goes. flat icons = flat ui. They are also what you see the most :P

Fair enough. I will fiddle with the design when I get the chance and then upload to git.
