I suggest using the same icon as amenity=nightclub but in shop-icon purple.

Makes sense for me.

It's better if we don't rely just on the color as a distinctive feature, so I prefer using different note shape (which should be easy - probably ♪). But since this is a record store, maybe there is something more resembling records (like half a disc visible from the sleeve)? We have some freedom here, which is good.

Some quick sketches of possible icons:
cd7

And my first attempt at an svg icon at 14x14: (.png copy)

  1. music-14-v03
    (not very clear so needs improving)

Thanks, it's exactly what I've been thinking about to try.

From my experience: it's better to show only 14 px PNG versions (with links to SVG probably), because nice large scale design can make a better impression than it actually will look like on the map. I also number them to make it easier to discuss.

Thanks for the tips. Here's a few more ideas based on the record/disc theme:

2) music-14-v04png2
3) music-14-v05png2
4) music-14-v06png
5) music-14-v07png
6) music-14-v08png
7) music-14-v09png
8) music-14-v10png

I like 6 the most and I think the note could be probably thicker - the disc can take even just a half of space, if needed (as in 1-5), and would be still recognizable, I guess. Another quite clear picture is 7 for me.

Thicker note half disc:
9) music-14-v11png
Thicker note whole disc:
10) music-14-v12png
11) music-14-v13png

9 seems good enough for me, but please give the links to all of them just in case.

Could you make a PR and test rendering (probably using Docker would be easiest)?

I need to correct the colours in them first, there's some white where it should be transparent, and I also have no experience of using Docker, so it will be a while before I can make a PR and test. :)

They look great! 9) is okay.
But I would even prefer 11). The whole disc makes it somehow clearer to me.

@lakedistrictOSM Any news? Do you need some help?

@kocio-pl I've been busy recently so I haven't done much more on it yet, I'll give you a shout if I need any help :)

But I would even prefer 11). The whole disc makes it somehow clearer to me.

I would have to agree with that. The half-disc design doesn't look quite right.

@lakedistrictOSM Any progress there? I would love to see this icon included soon. It looks great!

Sorry for the delay, I'll try to sort it out next month. :)

@kocio-pl :( Unfortunately I can't proceed any further with this icon - I can't change the white areas to transparent. Probably the best way forward is for someone to redraw it - all parts pixel aligned, CD edges 1 pixel thick centered in middle of grid, music note (cropped from nightclub icon) is 2 pixels wide.

Hopefully someone with the right skills can take it from here. :)

OK, thanks for your design work!

Thanks!

So who wants to make a PR? @Jotam would you like to try?

Added the pull request, first time editing this, so go easy ;)
