Details
Hi everyone, I have here my new proposed design for the open-source application Shotcut. This is application is a free to download video editor developed by MLT. It supports almost all the video and audio formats that is used today. You can check it out here : https://shotcut.org/
Original vs. Official Icon
As you can see in the official icon of the application, It dont have its own designed icon and they only used the icon of of the developer itself which is MLT.
My Concept
My concept in this design is creating a new icon of the application based on its use and title. At the same time, incorporating the developer initials like the original.
Different Color Backgrounds and Color Codes
I created two color variations for my new design. I just swap the colors from the first one to another. As a result we can see the design in exact opposite of the first design.
New Icon one-color version on black and white theme
For the purpose of visibility check i also created a one color version for the design to determine conflicts in outlines and unwanted lines.
New Icon Mock-up and Web View
Icon Sizes without Text
256x256
128x128
64x64
Icon with Text in Web View Size

Fonts Used: I used Adobe Illustrator fonts in creating and presenting this design.
