A modified savemodified_large.svg with a red 'label'

My father commented to me that he found the save modified icon in Colibre indistinct; the red blob seems less distinct than the bright star on older icon themes.
Trying it out, I wonder about making the 'label' red as well; it seems a small change but gives more contrast between the unmodified version.
Here's my attempt at modifying savemodified_large.svg

Hi Dave
Thanks for the report!

I assume the older icon theme was Galaxy. Its save modified state clearly has bigger size. I am not sure it wpuld be great if the floppy disk label turn to be red. How about similar Galaxy approach? Colibre already has similar bright star, see New Slide icons in Impress' standard toolbar.

See the attachment. If you ask me to enlarge the star, I am afraid I can not do that since the star already use in some icons also. So, I have to update all of them.

Another solution may be enlarge the red dot?
Comment 3 Dave Gilbert 2021-05-15 18:06:33 UTC
Thanks; the star might work, but I think you're losing contrast because it's over the background grey and the midtone of the disk (and it is smaller than the old one).
Perhaps moving it up over the label would help to get the contrast against the white of the label.
I also tried moving the dot up over the label.

.

Here I move up the indicator and change a little bit the color so it has different red tone between outer and fill.
Comment 6 Dave Gilbert 2021-05-16 00:53:24 UTC
Thanks; that does look better to me; probably a little bigger might help more; but not bad!

Where we should place the indicator? in top or bottom?

I agree that put the indicator above white area would increase the contrast, unfortunately it bring a drawback also: it looks unbalance. I prefer to keep the red indicator in bottom to keep the balance, but sacrifice a little bit the contrast.
Comment 8 Rizal Muttaqin 2021-05-16 08:00:27 UTC
oh and the indicator now bigger as your request.
Comment 9 Dave Gilbert 2021-05-16 16:50:04 UTC
It might be worth the unbalance if it keeps the contrast though;  my dad doesn't have any particular sight problems and complained about it, so I don't know about anyone who does have issues.
Anyway, increasing the size also helps; but any improvement is welcome.

Although my big red label might be over the top; I think it's probably OK to find a way to use the label area a bit; it's got the contrast and is otherwise empty; and anyway you expect to make notes on your disk labels!
