Description of the changes in your PR

I like this project very much, and following the rebranding requested by the NewPipe team, I thought about contributing even before opening an issue due to the size increase (which has been fixed, thank you!). I sketched a few ideas before landing on this proposal. This logo started as an evolution of the NewPipe branding.

I already worked with the HeliBoard team to create a logo for them as part of their own rebranding efforts, so I would welcome your feedback regarding this proposal as well.

Before/After Screenshots/Screen Record

  • Before:

The current logo is an inversion of the Material NewPipe logo, which has two elements, the "play icon" and the "W".

  • After:
imagen

This proposal merges both elements into one to create a distinctive "W" shape to prevent any confusion with both NewPipe and NewPipe Material. Then, I opted for a solid version of the background which makes the icon adaptable. One thing I brought back from the NewPipe logo is the drop shadow (though more subtle). The new red colour was selected from the closest Pantone to the original, 1805 C. Of course, the idea is that the icon itself, now being just one element, can be coloured by Launchers that support it.

The non-icon version adds a border that calls back to the current logo. Note that the spacing is different in the new proposal, this is to fix the visual weight of the centered triangle (which is something NewPipe hasn't fixed in their icons).

I changed a couple more icons, although I couldn't find where they appear in the app.

APK testing

I couldn't figure out how to create the debug APK as instructed here, sorry.

Due diligence

  • I read the contribution guidelines.
  • I tested the changes using an emulator or a physical device. I sadly couldn't, but I don't believe any changes I made break any kind of functionality within the app itself. Please look at the PR in case there's something I got wrong, thank you.

Thank you very much for this contribution! I genuinely love the new logo—it gives WizeStream a distinctive, modern identity while combining the W and play symbol beautifully. We’re happy to accept the design and adopt it as WizeStream’s official logo. ❤️

Before merging, a little Android integration work remains:

  • Update the adaptive launcher foreground and monochrome icon.
  • Update the Android 12 splash-screen icon.
  • Apply the new design to the runtime TV banner.
  • Verify the icons across launcher themes, densities, and supported devices.
  • Run the complete CI workflow.

We are currently finishing the SABR revert and stabilizing the conventional playback restoration. Once that work is complete, we’ll return to this PR, complete the remaining integration, validate it, and merge it.

Thank you again for creating such a wonderful new identity for WizeStream and for contributing to the project!
