Before reviewing, I'm going to ping @Lexikos for their feedback to see if they're happy with this treatment and colour choice.

Guess we can go ahead and review this now. @bBSempai, to allow us to do an accurate comparison, did you base your SVG off any particular image (vector or raster) or is it an entirely original interpretation?

[bhavyagosai]

I made the svg taking into account the interpretations made my @adamrusted providing the icon on the AHK Facebook page and @fbernhart who suggested to go with that idea which is all mentioned in the issue #3855

@bBSempai Reviewing and approving this icon isn't easy as it's more or less an interpretation. So I wouldn't be too strict.

But there are still 1-2 things that I'd be in favour of changing. Here is a comparison between your version (red) and a quick mock-up that I've created of this SVG (black):

• It seems like you've scaled the key to make it quadratic (24 x 24px). While the original key has a width to height of 24px to 22.984px. We're always trying to keep the width/height ratio of the original icons.

• It as well seems like your AHK letters don't really fit. For my version I've taken the letters, kept their size, centered the H and tried to match the distance between the A and H as well as H and K according to this image.

If you want, you can directly use and push my SVG path instead:

You're right! Damn I feel so dumb realising that 🤦🏻. And yes my letters were wrong my bad. Thank you. Here is the final preview with your svg.

[PeterShaggyNoble]

As an original interpretation and a manual vectorisation, I think this is good enough to merge now. If someone can improve upon it or source an official vector interpretation or can suggest a better choice of colour we can update it in the future.

Thanks for your efforts on this one, @bBSempai and for your assistance @fbernhart 👍🏻
