[Bug 458686] Re: MythTV Frontend client icon is invisible on upgraded Karmic

[MarcRandolph]

Ok, I finally dug up where this is, cause it has annoyed me slightly too.  You'll find that 
/usr/share/applications/mythtv.desktop
 points to:
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide/ui/mythtv_logo.png

I believe the problem with the logo is a combination of a lot of white
space surrounding the letters, and the fact that the letters of the font
are extremely light colored.  When you hilight the entry, it is much
easier to read, but even then, not great.

You can find a few other themes in /usr/share/mythtv/themese, one or two
of which have much more legible icons.  But to be honest, none of them
are great, either from a theme/consistency point of view, or from a pure
visual point of view (they aren't scaling down properly width vs.
height).

Not turning this into a formal contest, but if any (or all) of you have
the time and inclination to upload some alternative logo designs, I will
see what I can do about getting this fixed.  Perhaps one of your ideas
could be the basis/starting point for what it ends up being.  Ideally
the logo would be consistent with the Mythbuntu website and Mythbuntu
0.22 theme in general, although that is probably not strictly necessary.
Considering that the menu entry already says MythTV, I don't know that
the icon needs to say it too... but then again, I guess that doesn't
hurt (esp if you were to add it to your system panel/tray).
