Any thoughts on using the green gem?
Or we can use the 'JS' hexagon instead if we prefer.
Reacted by Refael Ackermann, Nikita Skovoroda, silverwind and Kangjia HuangUsing the JS hexagon instead:
Both are produced from the SVG on the node website, with the other resources removed, and then converted using https://icoconvert.com/
Any thoughts on using the green gem?
I'm +1 on the green gem. But I love that the old one is 3D. But2 I'm not sure the 3D look is OpenJSF blessed.
I've made a poll on Twitter - please vote there! https://twitter.com/mikemaccana/status/1133393051328679939

Reacted by Mike MacCanaThanks @refack I'll make sure they're all there. What tool are you using to inspect it?
Surprisingly (at least to me) the best one I found already installed on my computer is MSVS. But I had success with a several googlable tools in the past, if I remember correctly

Reacted by Alex Yang and Mike MacCanait's the old green gem on my windows. but I like the new one
Done. I added a 256 x 256 just in case.
Reacted by silverwind and Kangjia HuangUpdated the Windows icon for the fixed hexagon svg per nodejs/nodejs.org#2316
Process (just in case this needs to be repeated)
- change SVG canvas to 150 'pixels' square (this adds a small amount of space at the top and bottom, and squares off the image).
- Export to SVG at 256 pixels square
- Use iconvert.com, export 16, 32, 48, 64 , 128 and 256 versions
- Copy to
src/res/node.ico
