Yaru: Printer still isn't the same style as other icons

Created on 26 Dec 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: ubuntu/yaru

I've had numerous passes at printer and I think it's a nice set of icons, but it doesn't quite have the same style as the rest of the Suru icon sets. When you compare it to other physical objects like the camera and the keyboard it's a bit out of place.

I've been working on a printer in a more abstract style - I wonder if we could use something like this:

I can't tell if this one fits better but I understand what you're trying to do here - I do prefer the current icon.

I think the devices icons are not bound to the 4 sizes we use (or 3? :smile: )

@ubuntujaggers if you remake drive-removable-media.png to a printer icon, it will live amongst similar toned icons. Possibly those colourful buttons and lighter grey tone is making printer icon standout.

I did a mock-up 64px size

Added it to the list

I certainly like these proportions better than the current full size icon!

Closing for now because I can live with the printer now the larger icon has better proportions.
