An icon for BrightScript language

For those who use Atom to develop in BrighScript and also uses the "file-icons" package must have noticed that our beloved language does not have an icon to represent .brs files, it does uses the generic <> script icon that actually does not represent B/S one our language does not use these symbols on its syntax. Below the list of supported icons.

For the designers on our forum or even from Roku Inc can we have an (un)official icon for the language?

The link below has the package git repository with the currently supported file types:

a big "B/S" icon perhaps?
(i'd like to point out i am always so careful not to abbreviate as BS or B.S.  😄 )

A BrightScript icon sounds like a great idea. Perhaps something that looks like a TV or a remote control. I have no graphic design talent, however. Maybe someone more talented, like squirreltown, could come up with something -- although it would probably look like a squirrel!

How about a purple cross to the shape of Roku remote's d-pad?

PS. The squirrel can go as the center button.

Ha! The squirrel would be an extra charge - I'd have to get one to sign a waiver.

Looks good. It might be better with just the remote pad, without the "B/S" at the bottom though, as the icon is going to be very small on the Atom explorer pane, basically just a font character.

The "remote control plus" idea is good, but we need to have a simpler version, see below the icons from other languages and file types currently used:

Re: An icon for BrightScript language

Yes, I agree. If someone wants to use it I'm happy to make whatever sizes are required, but you always start with the biggest 4-color version you might need, because you never know.
