Request: orange / red icon

The latest icon in TestFlight is gorgeous! I am loving the ~~mountain~~ iceberg 😍 is there anyway we can get a few variations though? I would love to get that mountain on a orange or reddish background if that’s simple to do 🙏

Thank you, I’m glad you like it! I definitely plan to add more variations of the icon soon. I wanted to release this initial version and get feedback on the icon before fully committing to it.
- I like that it’s simple, detailed and distinct! All the makings of a great icon, especially for a default as a brand!
  
  It’s definitely an improvement over the initial icon. I initially was aiming for an iceberg, while making it I discovered I was somewhat dynamic and could be a mountain reflecting on water, and even augmented into up/downvote arrows. I think it has promise as a new brand image.
I wouldn’t mind working on this. Are the assets stored in GitHub somewhere to pull from or are they not publicly available?
- Currently Arctic is closed source, but I am working towards open sourcing the project. Primarily I just need to clean it up and do some organizing before releasing the source code.
  
  On that note though, I do have the sketch project for all of the included icons and branding. I don’t mind sharing that. I’ll push that to GitHub soon. I would like to host community icon contests, so that would be a good starting point.
  
  Awesome, thank you!
  
  Wow. If you do make this open source, that would put Arctic among one of my favourite iOS apps 😍
- Unfortunately, arctic is closed sourced, so you’ll have to wait for the developer to chime in 🙏
