Brand Assets

[GabeIsman]

We need a few basic brand assets. At bare minimum: an app icon. Possibly also a logo. This doesn't have to be fancy at all, we could easily use what amounts to a placeholder logo, but we do need something beyond the default electron icon.

@GabeIsman Let's talk more about branding in our meeting today, and emphasize this when we have a larger sync with the rest of the team. I think I might have us covered on this one -- at the very least, we can get some strong design prototypes to work from. Ultimately, we'd want our branding to be consistently strong across all of our projects.

[GabeIsman]

Sounds great @justintroutman.

Just noting here that a designer has delivered assets that @GabeIsman will be working into the UI. I'll be touching base with the designer to cap this off and make sure we have everything we need to move forward.

@justintroutman Pinged the designer again; we'll try to get those assets over to you soon, @GabeIsman!

[justintroutman]

While most all of the assets should now be in place, there's an outstanding icon for "shard" that didn't make it from mock-up to the final set. Some timing conflicts have delayed this just a bit, but I've been in contact with the designer and will have some updates on this soon!

[GabeIsman]

@justintroutman Please let me know when that comes in and I'll integrate!

@justintroutman Any progress on this? I doesn't have to be a blocker for 1.0, but I think it probably should be.

[justintroutman]

Originally pinged designer on 5/10, then again on 6/8 and 6/12. Reached out again now; if I don't hear back by EOD, I'll try some other routes of connecting, aside from e-mail. Will update here ASAP.

[justintroutman]

Heard back from designer and discussed briefly again the outstanding asset we needed; awaiting response on the logistics of making this happen!

[justintroutman]

The designer will start working on (and possibly complete) the 'shard' icon on Monday; will update more as things happen.

[justintroutman]

Noting here that we did receive the "shard" asset, but have requested more options for us to deliberate on.

I have collected all of the Sunder design assets locally on my machine. Most of them have already been integrated into the application as it exists today. I do not see any reason to add design assets to the git repo unless they are being used directly by the application, and I want to avoid bloating the repo. I filed follow-up issues for the remaining design assets that have not yet been integrated in #69 and #70.
