Niel's designs for the 3 "verification" markers on Amethyst. Thoughts?
Keep in mind that the need to fix a 30x30 pixel space, so there is not a lot of space for details.
Discussion
I'm a fan, besides calling NIP-05 ID verification when it's a God damned Nostr address! ๐ก๐ก๐ก๐๐๐
Very nice.
I like number 2,
Number 1 is slightly too abstract compared to the two colours for 2 people joined together.
Number 3 also feels too abstract, a # does make a bit more sense, but if based on SHA256 or similar, having the letters sha in there could also work a bit better imo.
I like it. But I would miss the ๐ซ
I like the hash idea as well. Will try that later. Source + hash in one 30x30 pixel icon should maybe do it indeed.
I am not sure if people understand the hash as a cryptography thing and not a mere hashtag prefix.
Maybe adjusting the colors to match the icon? Assets here: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/tree/main/docs/design/3rd%20Logo%20-%20Zitron
I like it more than the current one โก
That said I think the issue with the current one is mainly that the background color is also blue, which makes it hard to recognize the small shapes ๐ซ, especially the "right guy"
The @/check symbol for ID is great
I don't know what the others mean and I don't think their shape conveys any particular meaning
Visually, these are very clean and appealing; great work!
I wonder if the purple could be brought closer to shades already used in the app. I also like the address book icon someone mentioned. And, I wonder if the tear shaped background of the last one could also just be a circle or maybe a seal like Vitor was saying.
Iโm gonna try that adres book!
Whatโs with the seal?
I don't think the rectangular shape of the address book is:
1. recognisable enough at that scale
2. gonna look good with a circular profile image
That's fair. I think the original logo is strong also. I just like the direct metaphor of this person is "in my contacts or address book."
Here Vitor talks about a seal or like a stamp
Icons Update:
1. Readability increased and colors are integrated with existing accent colors
2. I tried the address book and seal options

Logo Update:
While trying to copy colors from Zitron's logo I noticed the potential for something even more professional. So I adapted it to have:
1. A full compound path for the gradient (the eye of the ostrich was not included earlier)
2. More symmetry and alignment
3. A better integration with the existing colors on Amethyst

Super nice! I think the best set us follow and nip05 of the first set and source 2 of the second set.
I agree ๐
Please also use the primary icon as well so there is not a white bg for the app icon ๐ค๐
Wow; fantastic work. The icon looks great too ๐
