The icons you have look good, but can you also add one for vala-original-wordmark?
Should be same as vala-plain-wordmark, but with the same background as vala-original

[lunatic-fox]

On Vala's website they're using the base SVG to make plain-wordmark version in white and solid purple background:

Vala's logo is a styled "V" in a linear light purple to purple gradient background:

The problem is that logo has some shadows in dark purple shades:

So vala-original-wordmark version can be:
1. a white text with a solid purple background
2. a white text with a linear gradient background in shades of purple
3. a white text with some shadows, like the logo, and a linear gradient background in shades of purple

The first option seems more right to me, even the second one looking more beautiful:

That said I want your opinion about which way should I go on this one.
Thanks!

@lunatic-fox
I think the more similar to the vala-original icon, the better. Since that fits better with their original brand.

So I guess option 3 (or maybe 2)? I'm not sure, but would also like more opinions on this.

@BenSouchet @Panquesito7 what do you think of @lunatic-fox 's suggestions above, any preferences?

[Panquesito7]

Option 3 seems the best to me. It looks nice.

[BenSouchet]

Yes Option 2 or 3 is good and stick with the brand identity 👍

[Snailedlt]

Well then, looks like you have your answer @lunatic-fox :)

[lunatic-fox]

Yeah @Snailedlt. Option 3 wins.
Thank you guys! I'll do as soon as possible.

[lunatic-fox]

original-wordmark version added!

[Snailedlt]

@lunatic-fox Approved, but you'll need to fix the conflict before merging, and I guess I'll have to approve again after that :)

[lunatic-fox]

Solved it: vala object was overlapping vercel object in devicon.json, because the branch add_vala wasn't updated I think.

I got a little bit concerned about this commit title: Merge branch 'develop' into add_vala, and I was like: Oh "well", I did something wrong, but now I think I got the idea it was just an update to add_vala branch.

[Snailedlt]

Looks good now! ✔️

Thank you for the contribution 🙇

Hi there,

I'm Devicons' Peek Bot and I just peeked at the icons that you wanted to add using icomoon.io.

Here are the SVGs as intepreted by Icomoon when we upload the files:

Here are the zoomed-in screenshots of the added icons as SVGs:

Here are the icons that will be generated by Icomoon:

Here are the zoomed-in screenshots of the added icons as icons:

Here are the colored versions:

The maintainers will now check for:

1. The number of Glyphs matches the number of SVGs that were selected.
2. The icons (second group of pictures) look the same as the SVGs (first group of pictures).
3. The icons are of high quality (legible, matches the official logo, etc.)

In case of font issues, it might be caused by Icomoon not accepting strokes in the SVGs. Check this doc for more details and fix the issues as instructed by Icomoon and update this PR once you are done.

Thank you for contributing to Devicon! I hope that your icons are accepted into the repository.

Note: If the images don't show up, it has been autodeleted by Imgur after 6 months due to our API choice.

Cheers,
Peek Bot 😊
