This normalized the Bitcoin Core icon branding for consistency.

Todo:

  • Restore the vibrant colors for each test chain
  • Generate the mac icon (help needed)

I'm not sure if this is a good idea. It's my fav color but I have come across someone's comment that it makes Bitcoin Core look like "Nazi", whatever that means. If we could give users a choice of a few colors for the gui, I think it would be better.

EDIT: That person's comment was about the theme color of bitcoincore.org website.

General concept ACK though we need to visually compare and eventually optimize.

~0, I'm fine with the orange color tbh, I don't see a strong reason to change this, will cause more drama and complaining and bikeshedding for no good reason, and seems it even has been Godwin'd already …

Maybe also list other pages that needs to be updated if this goes forward, like https://github.com/bitcoin-core.

I like both, maybe fuse both in a tiger pattern..

I like the current orange color branding. There is another way to achieve consistency: change icons on the website, GitHub, Twitter etc.

I'm not a fan of changing orange. You could even argue in favor of using a different color, to distinguish software from the coin. The Bitcoin Core software (black) works on the coin Bitcoin (orange) and the coin Bitcoin testnet (green).

As a first step though, you could introduce a single SVG from which we derive the other images.

I agree with Sjors.
The current colors which indicate the chain are perfect and I have no problems with the orange one.
Concept NACK because of the reasons above

concept NACK for the same "it's showing what chain is running" reasons

The orange logo is for Bitcoin itself, not specific to Bitcoin Core.

I do like the idea of Bitcoin Core getting its own logo, but I'm not sure just making it black is a good one.

Note that simply replacing the Bitcoin icon isn't sufficient either - systems expect the generic Bitcoin icon installed as-is, even if we have an application-specific icon to add. (I probably have code in Knots to address this discrepancy should a Core logo move forward.)

The current colors which indicate the chain are perfect

A black logo doesn't mean we can't use other colours for non-mainnet.

@luke-jr Bitcoin Core already has it's own logo iirc.
You should see a small gradient different than other logos.
See here and here

The first one is the Bitcoin Core one
