A cassette is definitely an interesting idea for an icon. At least it's not <a href="https://www.google.com.ar/search?dcr=0&tbs=imgo%3A1&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=xzp-WtuQM4edwgTV5oPIAw&q=music+player+logo&oq=music+player+logo&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i30k1.6616.6931.0.7132.4.2.0.2.2.0.140.212.1j1.2.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.4.221...0i8i30k1.0.Gu9RYUX2g3o" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">another musical note or play icon</a> :)</p>
<p>It's true that it's old school, but we also use CDs for albums which is also kind of old school now, so it's not totally off. Green is ok too, since the CDs and their background are all green (and blueish). You could also mixing it with some subtle blue/cyan tints in there.</p>
<p>Also, I think if we're going 80s we should go all the way. Instead of a gradient (green to white), consider using some 80s motif like the vanishing lines in here:<br />

<p>You should probably limit it to 1-2 lines for the smaller sizes though. You could probably replace the text with the lines/motif in small sizes too.</p>
<p>More ideas for that: <a href="https://www.google.com.ar/search?dcr=0&tbs=imgo%3A1&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=Rj1-WvPjLYaTwgTj1p2YCw&q=80s+cassette&oq=80s+cassette&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l2j0i30k1l4j0i8i30k1l2.18392.20298.0.20566.12.12.0.0.0.0.115.1019.11j1.12.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.12.1013...0i67k1j0i10i24k1.0.PyemoiQ5FVk" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.google.com.ar/search?dcr=0&tbs=imgo%3A1&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=Rj1-WvPjLYaTwgTj1p2YCw&q=80s+cassette&oq=80s+cassette&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l2j0i30k1l4j0i8i30k1l2.18392.20298.0.20566.12.12.0.0.0.0.115.1019.11j1.12.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.12.1013...0i67k1j0i10i24k1.0.PyemoiQ5FVk</a></p>

I would like to propose trying the tape with the current color and we can revisit this decision in 6 months.<br />
I agree on the text removal and your choice of color is good for me.</p></div>

<p>I understand your concern. However we could say the same thing about vinyls, and many apps are using vinyls as icons.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R266 Breeze Icons</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>master</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D10365" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D10365</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>paullesur, Breeze, VDG, Elisa, andreaska, mgallien<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>mgallien, januz, astippich, andreask, andreaska, ltoscano, ngraham, Frameworks, paullesur, michaelh, ognarb, kmf, progwolff<br /></div>
