<!-- Urd's mark: ð, the eth in Urðr. Drawn in Verdande's strokes so the two read
|
|||
|
|
as one family — same width, same round caps, same plate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOT a rune, and that is the whole story of this file. The obvious mark was
|
|||
|
|
ᚢ uruz, the letter the name begins with in the elder futhark, exactly as
|
|||
|
|
Verdande's is ᚹ wunjo. It was drawn that way first. Then: uruz is already
|
|||
|
|
one of this author's products, and uruz/scripts/gen-icons.ts says in its own
|
|||
|
|
comment that it "draws the Uruz rune (ᚢ) in rune-gold" with "a tall left
|
|||
|
|
vertical, a shoulder across the top, and a shorter" one — the same glyph,
|
|||
|
|
the same construction, differing only in colour. Two of one person's apps
|
|||
|
|
side by side on a home screen, which is precisely where this mark is meant
|
|||
|
|
to be distinguishable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ᚦ thurisaz was considered next, for the ð itself, and rejected for the same
|
|||
|
|
reason one level down: it is a stave with a triangle on its right, and so is
|
|||
|
|
ᚹ. At 16px they are one shape.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So the letter rather than the rune. ð is unmistakably Nordic, nothing else
|
|||
|
|
here uses it, and it is a closed bowl where both neighbours are open staves.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Centred by counting painted pixels — white on black, headless Chromium, the
|
|||
|
|
plate removed so the card is not what gets measured — rather than from the
|
|||
|
|
path numbers, because a centred box is not a centred glyph:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
verdande ᚹ ink x 53–108 centre 80.5 · y 18–131 centre 74.5
|
|||
|
|
urd ð ink x 39–110 centre 74.5 · y 15–134 centre 74.5
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Verdande's +5.5 in x is its own deliberate nudge: a heavy stave beside a
|
|||
|
|
light flag has to sit right of centre for the ink to look centred. ð is
|
|||
|
|
symmetric enough not to need it, and the two agree exactly in y.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Legibility, measured rather than hoped: it reads as ð at 32px and above. At
|
|||
|
|
16px it is a blob — and so is ᚹ, and a favicon is not what tells two
|
|||
|
|
installed apps apart in a dock. -->
