Glad you like it!
I’m also not satisfied with the icon, though I am not a graphic designer and I’ve been struggling to make a better icon/logo. I’m hoping by the next release I can either find a graphic designer to assist, or come up with an improved logo on my own.
I am a media designer, but not a specialized artist or illustrator. However, I could try to create an icon, even if it does not end up being used.
Yeah, I’d love to see what you could come up with. Even if it didn’t make the cut for a new default icon, I could add it as an alt icon.
You could also try a community contest? Just an idea.
I had the same thought, unfortunately the arctic community is not very big at the moment, so I’ve been waiting to grow it a bit before doing that.
I’ve been thinking about this logo thing over night. The Lights out icon you made for the app as actually super powerful! 3 dots, 2 sets of whiskers and you get immediately what it is. It’s ultra simple and yet easy to identify. You could make your main logo from that. Doing variations on colors and so on. You. An even reduce or even more to 3 dots in that triangular pattern, it doesn’t need to be representing an animal, your app is called Arctic, after all, which doesn’t have to be connected to the rodent image to work. You already have a strong logo!
Just a quick on the phone color swap

I like the idea. I feel that it would need a bit more to be used as branding for Arctic. The three dots on their own are not all that recognizable. I think they need a bit more to offer context as to what they represent, and to fill the blank space between. I am definitely a fan of the simplicity, and abstract idea though.
I may play around with that and see what I can come 7p with.
