Dan, that looks very similar to what I posted on Pd-dev a few weeks back. I agree with your mention of lacking discussion, because there was no reply to my mails either.

The fabulous SVG export plugin [1] from IOhannes not only saves you one step of conversion, it also had better results for me that actually looked like the Pd gui, not some abstract version of it like when using the PostScript output.
Yeah, there were several things put out there but they got buried a bit and not everyone saw them which is why I'm bringing this up.
Your icon version looks a bit slimmer (Font and lines of the box) then what I got. I'm not sure why this is, it might be either because you are on Mac OS, or because you used the PostScript export.
The font size of the patch is 16 to get the proportions right which is why the outline seems slimmer.
Your version also has not the typical shadow that Mac OS icons seem to have.
This icon is meant for all platforms (some of which do not use shadows) and there is no hard requirement for mac icons to have a shadow. My proposal reflects the most basic/conservative update in keeping with the current vanilla icon.

Also, not that I took the original output and tweaked it in Inkscape. I did not take the ES -> SVG and use that directly. This also how I created the PdParty logo: http://danomatika.com/code/pdparty http://danomatika.com/code/pdparty The idea was the keep the Pd proportions as much as possible.
I didn't know about the svg export plugin, I can see if it works on my system.

The SVG output looks just like my tweak minus the tweaks, mainly the outlet box is not tall enough and the object corners are rounded. Otherwise the proportions are the same. It does save the step of needing the ES to SVG conversion.

After tweaking (fixing inlet & rounded corners), the SVG output looks very similar: https://www.flickr.com/photos/danomatika/36062245585/in/datetaken/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/danomatika/36062245585/in/datetaken/
The only difference is that I increased the font size a bit in the first version in order to make it more legible at smaller sizes. I think it's safe to say any exported icon will need to be tweak a little.
Also, I'm not doing all of this because I want *my icon* or whatever to be used at some point. I'm more trying to get feedback on what the community would like and we can choose from some proposals. The main thing is that we should keep the source files for the icon and it needs to be generated for all the platforms (I have this set up).

I agree that the line thickness is too small. I've thickened things and re-uploaded.

I see, thought it was a Pull Request already.
Does it mean we can forget about this one and close it? https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/56

I dunno. Maybe that's what people want? I am not unilaterally choosing an icon and I can only suggest to the powers that be. This is easier when there are finished solutions...
