Description

Flask recently changed their logo. The new logo can be seen on the official Flask website and in the GitHub repo.

I manually vectorized the new logo in Adobe Illustrator. The hex value was chosen based on the color of the shortcut icon in the GitHub repo (previous link).

It would be better to get vector source files in SVG or other formats from their official team.

[robertgodfrey]

Agreed, will look a little harder for the official version.

@robertgodfrey - any joy finding an SVG version of the icon? Any contacts on the Flask team we could ask?

[robertgodfrey]

No luck, I tried asking a few times on their Discord but never received a response. Not sure where else to look/ask

[adamrusted]

There are some slight differences between this and the source SVG, but I'm fine with that given it's a manual vectorization. Before we accept, I'll ask another @simple-icons/icon-review member to have a look over it, just to be sure we're in agreement!

Thanks for your work on this @robertgodfrey!

My previous solution is to submit the vectorized image to the source project to replace their existing binary image. See #7702 (comment).

For Flask, since its source image is used for favicon, we should care about compatibility. See https://caniuse.com/link-icon-svg.

In short, we can always provide our vectorized image as a proposal in future similar cases.

In this case, the vectorized Flask icon looks good to me.

@robertgodfrey - would you want to propose the SVG you've created to their repo, so another alternative for them? That way, if that gets merged in - we've got an official source. Feel free to use @LitoMore's message to .ENV as an example! I won't merged this until we hear one way or the other from Flask team - as that may change our source file.

Any update on this @robertgodfrey?

[robertgodfrey]

No, sorry. We can just close this and wait for the Flask team to provide an official image.
