This is the icon that we'll launch Ghostty 1.0 with. It was designed by
Michael Flareup at PixelResort. It retains the style of the original
Ghostty icon by Alasdair Monk, but brings in the new Ghost character and
adds details that make it more Apple-like.
The new Ghost character is an important evolution from the original
since it separates us from looking too much like PacMan. The new Ghost
is more unique and recognizable to Ghostty (or, hopefully will be!).
The icon itself has more details: the aluminum around the edge has
texture for the large enough sizes, there are visible scanlines, the
glow of a screen emanates from the ghost.
The icon itself is stylistic more Apple-like than other platforms. I
think Apple icons tend to look very good in more environments than the
reverse and I'm a big fan of the Apple aesthetic so I wanted to bring
that to Ghostty for all platforms.
looks like the 16x16 icon is not centered, it's got 2 blank lines on the
left and no blank lines on the right. This centers it so there is 1 blank
line on the left and right.
