Here’s the simplest thing I can think of with components that come straight from the Syncthing website and the project repo. I don’t know the source of the sky image, so you might want to check that it is not copyrighted before using it.
Here’s another concept for the feature graphic, using the natural metaphor of the interconnected branches of a tree between leaf “nodes” instead of the cloud metaphor. In this case I know where the tree image originated, because I took the photo.
FWIW, the original cloud image is a creative commons licensed one via Flickr, where I fucked up and forgot the attribution, and now I can’t find it again. I’ve replaced it with a correctly attributed one on the main site. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
It seems like the feature graphic is only displayed when the app is featured in the Play store, so there is probably time to change it before the general public might see it. In the meantime, this could act as a placeholder. In the worst case, Syncthing is featured tomorrow (not exactly a bad thing) and the few graphically or marketing astute will conclude (possibly incorrectly) that Syncthing has a natural world aesthetic. I think the logo and name are what people will pay attention to, and those are solid. Much better than the old “St” icon for sure.
And by the way, I guess I should state clearly that the tree image I submitted is now public domain, available for all to use for any and all purposes from now until the end of time, etc etc.
