I love the concept/direction - crystalizing thoughts/obsidian stone, but I admit the shape feels a bit narrow to me, and thus looks awkward next to all the other app icons on my mac.
I certainly don’t think a re-do is warranted, but I’d be in support or a refinement with a bit of a different crystal structure…
The icon file is 512px. Out of curiosity I looked up online vector makers and it worked sort of okay. One didn’t quite capture the different colors, another smoothed the edges to look more illustrated. It would be for personal use only but maybe you could play with your own vector version?
As a linux user with a Window Manager I don’t ever see the icons of apps haha, I guess Mac users are more concerns about these things, but even in a Mac I think Obsidian looks great!
I’m sure the devs do not want the hassle of selling t-shirts but I do think it a way to support them. I would appreciate any ideas on getting my own Obsidian t-shirt!
You could download the SVG version of this icon (which I’m pretty confident is its origin), which should be a vector image. Squish it vertically by about 33% and adjust the color and you’re in business!
