699: Not the Correct Squircle

Someone got us started on app icons again.
@atpfm
Was listening to the last episode of ATP discussing new versions of Callsheet’s icon.
I took the time to screenshot the current icon on my iPhone, and zooming in I saw this.. 🤯😂
Nod to the most amazing episode of atp - but how?!
In the App Store the Callsheet icon is still Search for Blue December.
@caseyliss
@atpfm Wow, following along listening to the icon f̵a̵w̵n̵i̵n̵g̵ critiques (😀) while looking at those through the chapter art on a non-tiny screen was a challenge!
Podcast app on AppleTV: shows the main logo only (and surprisingly many podcasts named "ATP")
Youtube: only the main logo
Pocket Casts: can show on the iPhone, not aTV
Older Overcast: on the iPhone, AirPlay to aTV, power button, left a few times, success! (Until screensaver...)
@atpfm I find it fascinating that none of you use a “mechanical” keyboard. I would think one of you would’ve gone down the rabbit hole of various switches by now.
@atpfm I like how the meme design pricelist was all Fibonacci numbers times 100.
@atpfm the grey refraction bothered me lol. I removed it using clean up , is this better or same or worse ?
New developer here, long time listener, first post on Mastadon.
This episode has convinced me that my icon sucks, so thanks for that.
@atpfm @marcoarment if you really want the branding overlap you should call your app Overdue…
@simplefuel It’s not terrible! (My Tahoe icons are terrible.) But it could be a lot better…
Ideally, like I said, it should be better than your app!
@marcoshuerta I used an Apple Extended II until RSI got me and I switched to low-effort keys.
@iljitsch Large versions of the images are linked in the shown notes as well.
@paaskesen @atpfm Only way that can happen is if you change it. 🤷🏻♂️
