document-save should look less like a mimetype #1168
Comments
Here's another proposal, more closely matching the browser-download, and document import/export icons: prop2 was kind of meant to represent a "save changes to the document" look, but it looks a little close the import icon? Not sure about that one. Edit: Actually, after coming back to this I seem to like prop2 the most now. prop1 looks a little more right maybe? More of a hybrid of download and export. And not too far off from the current document-save, just less mimetype-looking using the "document" symbol of import/export. Still would need to make a "save as" version. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful! |

i'm not too young, but even to me the floppy icon means nothing. |
@newhoa I would be down with making it more like the other document icons using a tile shape as the base and using the same color arrows as the download/import/export icons. I think that reasoning makes sense. For "Save as", what about using a folder icon as the base? Since this opens the file chooser that might make more sense than trying to convey file renaming Older versions of the "Open" icon had an arrow pointing out of the folder, so maybe an arrow pointing into the folder could make sense here |
Use same document symbol that is used in document import/expot. Addresses part of elementary#1168

I think Firefox icons might be a useful reference too:
The only downside I see is it will make all three (open, save, save as) icons appear way too similar, as they all will use the folder as a base. Which is why I prefer @newhoa's prop1 idea. |
Problem
document-save
anddocument-save-as
look like mimetype icons.document-save
is a symlink totext-x-install
. Also because of the coloring, they can be confused with disabled icons.Current:
Proposal
It would be nice if this looked a little more like an action or button style icon.
