Description

Hi folks,

Thank you very much for your good work at matrix and Riot.im, which I really appreciate. You all have done a great job!

I really don't want to offend someone, but I find the icon of Riot.im quite ugly. First of all I know I am only one random guy having that opinion and other people might find the Riot-icon nice. But a few friends of mine also agree that this nice app would need a better icon. Secondly I know exactly that changing one brand's icon is changing the brand itself. That is a very sensitive topic. So don't mindunderstand me: I don't want to force you anywhere.

Butr after two hours and talking with a friend I created an icon, which I use now on my MacOS for Riot and it works quite well for me - in the dock as well as in the notifications.

Here it is:
![icon_32x32](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/274604/44093407-c55f2788-9fd3-11e8-870c-875624e65ce7.png) ![icon_64x64 2x](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/274604/44093417-cb6305c8-9fd3-11e8-8f61-b02445fe78ec.png) ![icon_128x128 2x](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/274604/44093442-ddf06b5e-9fd3-11e8-93f1-79b05d7d1c25.png) ![icon_512x512 2x](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/274604/44093022-79f7495c-9fd2-11e8-97d9-062bf1855f17.png)

That new icon is CC-BY licensed (by matias porta lezcano and Rasmus Fuhse). The fist is [an icon from the noun project](https://thenounproject.com/term/fist/25439/). I just wrapped it in an R and fixed the color. All messengers at MacOS seem to be blue, so I took almost the same color.

Just take it as a contribution or an inspiration or simply ignore it. It's up to you.

Thanx again for your great work!

Rasmus
