Amarok Wolf Howl Icon for Amarok
Included in this pack are the source file (Inkscape .svg) and a preview of the icon. I don't know svg that well, so if the svg is sloppy or doesn't work well with some other program, blame inkscape! =D
The idea I have with the source file is that the larger one would be used for large images, like tshirts, posters, etc. the smaller ones would be used for icons that are about their sizes.. (ie. 128x128, 64x64 for the medium one, and 32x32, 22x22 for the smallest one)
Hope you like this, and enjoy!

1.4:
-I just noticed that the ears were off a bit - it's blends better now.
1.3:
-minor tweaks. I was unsatisfied with the 22x22 version, and the color.
-also changed the images so that none of the actual image was cut off (inkscape 0.39 bug?)
1.2:
-minor source file changes - I made it so there is no scaling of the actual svg when you want to save as a 22x2 file. ie. there is an svg wolf_howl icon at 22x22 pixels _in_ the svg. there wasn't before.
-changed the lower resolution one so you can recognize it easier. (thank you gimp)
-changed the color of the wolf to something with more contrast-can also do a different color if need be)
-moved the arches so they were position in such a way that the icon is square.
-removed the arch outline in the smaller icons.
1.1:
-changed the arches so that they look more like the crystal theme.
-changed the furry underside so that there was less detail but still looked furry (I hope)
-also changed the smaller version so that it looks more distinct (I hope)

Someone said that the waves made it more obvious that it was an audio app. But that's only in hindsight. If i was a new KDE user, freshly migrated, i wouldn't know what to make of the icon. "Maybe it's the instant messenger? Maybe an RSS aggregator? Or something to do with broadcasting?"
Further, because of the more muted color-scheme, i may assume it's actually a Gnome application. I understand that people don't like bolder colors, but that's where KDE is at right now. And if you're going for an integrated look that's what you'll need to use.
Nothing personal. Just my view. And don't worry, it seems i'm well in the minority. =]

And it certainly states its purpose better then Kaffeine's icon... heh.
I'd assume folks that can't figure out that amaroK is a KDE program probably don't care one way or another.

the icon should make clearer, that Amarok
is a sound application in any way.
Like the wolf in gray maybe you can find
a way to place a kind of membran or note
into the icon so it becomes clearer what
amarok does.

Amarok means wolf's eye, and I think that a combination of an eye and a speaker is much better solution.

Also, on a random note, it will be possible, with an icon as different as this one, to actually make a Reinhardt style icon out of it ;)

I think the red archs in the back could use some reworking to better suit the entire icon and maybe some polish on the wolf but overall, its a fantastic job.

The icon does _not_ have to be related to Wolves. The artist has complete artistic freedom on the design.

But could you make some color themes for it?
I would like to see Orange, Blue and Green theme also(Possibly even more colors?)!
Tnx :)
