I said I would have a go at designing icons for Mastodon, so here's a mockup with them integrated 🙂https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snwh/mockups/master/mastodon/mastodon_wide.png

@Gargron I went about making some custom icons to show you what I meant by "tailored icons". 🙂

@Gargron derp, this was a reply to my own toot, with a link, I guess it doesn't work like that. 😄 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snwh/mockups/master/mastodon/mastodon_wide.png

@snwh Oh, no, it worked, I just didn't know to click on it (upcoming version of Masto alleviates that with a special reply icon btw)

@Gargron oh, haha. I look forward to it. Anyway, in the mock-up, I designed some icons to be less reliant on Twitter's design language (like the change to the boost icon) and to fit within their displayed size for clarity.

@snwh @Gargron but the logout & boost icons looks the same in the mock up. don't you guys think it may cause some confusion?

@rcmainak @Gargron I'd likely change it to a more conventional icon if implemented, permit me some whimsy in my mock-up. ;)

@snwh @Gargron hehe, just wanted to help out. I'm neither a designer nor familiar ruby.

@Gargron @snwh the rocket ship seems a bit complex compared to the other icons, but looking good overall!
