Missing icon: gnome-mahjongg

[ubuntujaggers]

Hi @snwh,

gnome-mahjongg doesn't yet have a Suru icon:

I can fork here and submit a PR for my attempt if you're amenable to reviewing:

?

This is a great start, but the mahjongg tile is a bit too rounded on the largest icon. I also think preserving the yellow from the original icon in some way would be a good idea, such as in the background or possibly colouring the character on the tile yellow.

[ubuntujaggers]

Let me take another pass at it. The characters in Mahjongg have meaningful colours, so recolouring this particular one might be like doing spades or clubs in red on a playing card. I'll look at the Wikipedia page and see what characters/colours are available.

Less rounded:

In terms of the yellow, all the standard characters seem to be red, green and blue, which is honoured in the Gnome version of the game. I've tried yellow background/blue character but it looks a bit naff so far. I'll see what inspiration I can find on Google Images...

@ubuntujaggers What do you think of these tonalities for your icon?

I think the idea of ​​sam with the icons is that although he finds freedom to bifurcate gnome icons, he uses his colors to represent his identity in the form of suru

[ubuntujaggers]

I like the colours; the only difficulty is that the character is blue in Mahjongg, so this is like doing the Ace of Hearts with a black heart.

However, I guess we could pick one of the red characters and go with a similar colour scheme to the above? Salmon pink is close enough to red for the difference in shade to be artistic licence IMO.

@jnlucian @snwh

What do you think of the following:

?

• Keeps the yellow from the Gnome icon;
• Character is a real Mahjong character ("Red Dragon");
• Mahnong pictogram takes reasonable liberties with the colour (insofar as pink is just a pastel shade of red, which is the character's colour in the game).

EDIT: Alternate version with a little more detail on the glyph:

EDIT 2: I think the first (simpler) version looks better IMO.

[jnlucian]

the colors makes it faithful to the original icon and I like the icon, just wait for the blessing of Sam and that of his opinion

[ubuntujaggers]

Okay, I've had a look at the "red dragon" character as it appears in most fonts, this is my final version unless I get any more requests:

It has a little more detail than the simplest version, and the "fangs" (serifs?) that point down at the left and right seem to be common in fonts that include the character in a square, non-calligraphy style (e.g.: 中).

@snwh do you consider this one ready for a PR?
