Description

According to the two previously closed PRs (#7579 and #7688) trying to incorporate the Modrinth logo, the full logo was deemed too complex, and the simpler "favicon" (still svg based) should be used instead. Unfortunately this used design-wise complex objects and clipping, which made it tricky to convert into a single path as required by simple-icons.

I solved it by following a hint about using Inkscape's fill bucket.

The color is the official light mode branding color.

[magicus]

I apologize. I'm not that used to working with svg files. I had apparently not succeeded in getting the icon maximized in the viewbox. I thought Inkscape had done that for me when I asked it to resize it, but it was apparently a bit off. I need to read up a bit on how to fix this.

[triphora]

Looks good, but could the color be changed to either #1bd96a (dark mode brand color) or #00af5c (light mode brand color)? Whichever looks better in this context.

[magicus]

@triphora Done. Also updated the preview.

[magicus]

What is the process for getting this merged?

[magicus]

Also, @triphora, I see you are associated with Modrinth. Can we consider your approval an official acknowledgement? According to the simple-icons documentation, having such an approval might speed up the process.

[triphora]

Yes, you may. It's been on my personal to-do list to PR this, but I wasn't able to figure out how to merge the paths without breaking it.

This need to be merged asap

[magicus]

I wasn't able to figure out how to merge the paths without breaking it.

Yeah, that was tricky. I'm not an SVG guru myself either, but I found a hint about using the fill bucket tool in Inkscape, and that did the trick. It created a new shape based on what is visible "to the human eye", which was just what was needed here.

[magicus]

@dirien Sorry for the ping, but I don't know else how to get this PR to the attention of someone with merge permissions. I believe this PR is ready for merge. We have an official review from the Modrinth team (#8101 (comment)). The automatic tests pass. All official requirements are checked off.

Hi @magicus,

I will look tomorrow (CET time) as first thing into it!

Thanks for the contribution!

[dirien]

Ho @magicus,

i see some differences to the reference icon (favicon.svg) I will approve this PR as the Modrinth team gave green light for your icon!

Thanks for contributing.
