Edrundor would like to add a Desktop Icon to his Ubuntu pakage. It should be SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
Orx Logo:

I think this is a great icon without the text.
Is there a SVG version of this logo available? If not I'll create one this weekend.

Thx. I can import it into Inkscape and edit it as an SVG... nice. It seems to work...

I'm quite new to vector graphics... the svg version does not look like I want it. If it scaled to a small size it gets really grainy. Maybe it's gnome's fault. I tried to add a gradient to the outside line but it didn't make a big difference.
Anyway. For the first version a PNG icon should be ok. It has freedesktop standard size and looks good as a gnome icon.
The files can be found here:

Hey, cool stuff!
Why would one want to have the icon as svg? Is it usual to use svg for icons?

Nowadays yes, and one icons for all sizes...
Otherwise you would need at least 6: 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 128 px per side.

Both icons should be included, because the second one looks super on OSX and on systems with big icons. The first one (without the Orxonox-text) is much better for systems with small icons.
Also Orxonox should have an icon for the window. This was implemented some time ago, but got messed up somehow... maybe someone can fix this in orxonox.cc (most probably because the graphic is loaded before the resource-manager is ready).
Also: Does anyone know how to pre-/append an icon to an executable in Linux/Windows/OSX??
