Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
There are typically a few new features for each release that need an icon. We can collect them here and make sure they are added before the release (before Bcon3 really).
Currently missing:
Geometry Nodes Editor
Line art modifier
Attribute domains {F10162715 size=full}
Asset icon (? Could re-use the Asset Browser icon, but rather have a dedicated one)
Asset Browser "Unassigned" catalog item
Asset Browser "All" catalog tree item (? Could also just be a regular parent item)
Asset Browser "Open Blend File" button
Blender File (
FILE_BLENDcurrently uses the Blender logo, which is wrong)Sculpt tools:
Postponed for the next release.

I can help create new icons use Inkscape. I need know icon style, but Human Interface Guidelines not show information about icon style rule:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Human_Interface_Guidelines/Icons
One idea for Sculpt Tool Icon:
Added subscriber: @ShinjiPons
@ChauHo there are no guidelines yet for the icon style. We need the people who make most contributions there to help out. The Human Interface Guidelines are not active yet, and we generally don't share the link publicly yet to avoid confusion.
This looks like a general sculpt tool icon? We are not missing a "sculpt tool" icon currently. Only specific tools for sculpt mode that have no icon yet.

Geometry Nodes Editor, the same icon will be used for the modifier. @jendrzych got any ideas?Idea for Geometry Nodes Editor:
Added subscriber: @HooglyBoogly
Hi @Chau, that's an interesting idea! I like it
Idea for Line Art Modifier:
@ChauHo Cool! I think it would be easier to iterate on these ideas on https://blender.chat/channel/user-interface-module. Do you want to share this there?
Added subscriber: @Hans-6
@Hans-6 Goudey (HooglyBoogly) That link not work. It only show this animation:
Maybe it not work in my web browser: Google Chrome 49.0.2623.112 (64-bit)
Added subscriber: @CreatorSiSo
My idea for the gn editor based on the general nodes editor icon because i think its good to see the type of editor in the icon
@CreatorSiSo I like the general idea of Your concept. Will try to polish it and make it fit both: the icon matrix and the set style.
Icon ideas for sculpt tools
I think this could be in the right direction. The only issue is that a cube and a sphere makes me think more of object-level nodes, so this could be used in the future for other node setups (such as Collection Nodes).
How about something like that but instead of a Cube and a Sphere, use Mesh and Volume data icons, @jendrzych? To communicate that volumes can also be edited in Geometry Nodes. Technically Curves will also be possible to edit in Geometry Nodes, but Volume indicates the possibilities better.
@jendrzych Is there any update on your take of the icon?
@jendrzych Nice! I think the left-most icon is my favorite.
Is there a requirement to show node noodles inside the icon? The Shader Editor is node-based but its icon is more symbolic. An equivalent for the geometry nodes icon could be something that says "algorithm/computational design".
edit: I'll try to come up with an idea as soon as humanly possible.
edit2: here is the icon I came up with. I followed the duo-tone look from the icons inside of the Generate modifiers list.
Mockup of the icon inside the modifiers UI:
Shouldn't there also be an icon for the "geometry nodes" node group?
Added subscriber: @amalbubble
I create some icon for Curves, Asset, point cloud
I made some adjustments on the my geometry nodes icon and attached it as SVG.
PS: It would be super helpful to have guidelines on how to best design the icons. I noticed that Blender applies some auto-tinting on the modifiers icons and I don't know how to accommodate that.
Another important icon that is missing is
FILE_BLEND. Currently using the Blender logo but that's not allowed.Perhaps something like
FILE_CACHE(middle) but instead of the cog (which is also weird), the Blender logo.{F11815504, size=full}
From Inkscape

.exe files could use a proper icon in the file browser.
The transition icon here is a temp icon and all of the effect strips are missing icons:
Were the overlap modes intended to be exposed as icon buttons(working as radio buttons)?
EXE icon:
Add icon:
Subtract icon:
Multiply icon:
@ChauHo Thank you for the icons. I would recommend you to wait with any further work until @pablovazquez or @JulianEisel decides on the missing icons I suggested here: https://developer.blender.org/T85376#1254941 are worth adding or not.
Added subscriber: @jenkm
@ChauHo - please look at the current icons carefully, they are 16x16 pixels with the main content within 14x14 pixels boundaries.
So, the source file should look like this:
Preview:
Mockup:
And so you can see the current one is more consistent with other file icons.
By the way, there is also an icon for "blend1" files.
.exe files are not supported by Blender so they have the generic icon.
When setting up a path to ex. ffmpeg in an add-on, it is very useful to distinguish which files are the exe files.
@Yevgeny Makarov (jenkm) Thanks for information. I guess have 32 x 32 pixel icon version for high resolution screen too.

In b.chat there was also a discussion about having an svg file icon, now that they're getting more integrated thanks to GP (right now they are using the generic FILE_3D, same as obj and other IO formats).
Since we already have a lot of similar icons with curves and handles I was thinking about something like this maybe, similar (lazily similar) to the image icon:
For the record:
We discussed the Blender icon usage further in the chat, since we have to get this sorted out for the 3.0 release - Ton pointed out that we misuse the Blender logo and asked us to address this.
We've settled on the following changes for now:
That is a remaining issue that would be good to address at some point. IMO the current file icons should be corrected, they simply reuse the data-block icons. Blender data-blocks and files should be clearly differentiated to avoid confusion about them. We should have dedicated icons for the file types, and I think following the pattern of a file icon + a superimposed type icon can work. We have quite some constraints, mostly the available space and the monochrome design bring a challenge. If needed we can experiment with increasing row height slightly, so bigger icons can be used.
Pre-2.8 icons did a pretty good job here BTW 🙂 :
Either way, addressing all this can be quite time consuming. We need somebody to take this over.

Suggestion for the face corner icon.

Hey all, my name is Liam--I would like to contribute to the UX team
I saw the tasks included adding a dedicated 'Asset' icon, apart from the 'Asset Library' icon. I thought this could work for. Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear any feedback you have as well :)
