I was actually working on that one, too.

The problem I detected early, was the high probability this icon was potraced, and not done by hand.
We now could say: It doesn't matter, they themself seem to use it... etc.

However one of our rules is not to accept protraced icons at all, since they are so often malformed. (See attached screenshot)

We already had a handful of similar cases where instead we redraw the icons with the intention the icon has to look like in the first place. That's why I will flag this as "request changes".

If you are not able/willing to fix the issues of the icon I can take it over, so no pressure here it all. Thanks for understanding! ❤️

@runxel I actually noticed that with another corner and thought it was kind of surprising (especially since Vectorworks is a vector editing company...)

I'll take a swing at it later today since I'd love to get involved more with knocking some of these requests out.

Cool! Thanks for not resigning 😃 Take all the time you need.
And yeah, it's always quite surprising how sub-par a lot of those companies handle their brands...

Hi @sjstark, are you still interested in contributing this icon? No worries if not! 🙂

I have 2 or 3 I need to hop back on 😅 Apologies, life came in hard in the last 4 months. I'll do it this week!

No worries! Just wanted to check in before I worked on this myself - will leave it to you 👌

Thanks, @runxel. Guess I misinterpreted @sjstark's comment; I thought they were saying that Vectorworks change their logo/icon every year, with each release.

I have time set aside this Wednesday to fix these issues!
But on the note of the logo updates, they go through an application update yearly, and with the update they change the app's color on the desktop, however logo svg remains constant for the past couple of years (until their design team gets bored and revamps it). That said, I made the logo color black because their website currently has black as the main theme of the site and the favicon is black.
Luckily though, the color of the logo can be updated fairly easily with the application color updates if that's the route desired.

Hey all, I reopened this in a new pull #4764. Only because I went through my github at some point and purged some misc repos and it looks like I lost the original branch this was on.
