Can I ask if existing telegram icon with purple background would suffice?

[passthesh3ll]

Yeah, for me is ok

@morganist I think you have enough skill to draw the paper plane basing on the current Telegram icon. Please try it first.

@SmartFinn

draw the paper plane basing on the current Telegram icon.

Are you suggesting to do a different plane (based on older Telegram logo) for Forkgram instead of a newer design which is used in existing Papirus Telegram logo?

[SmartFinn]

@morganist I suggest you to try to add the bottom part of the paper plane to the current Telegram icon.

[morganist]

I don't like the fork, to be honest, but the plane does look nice with the bottom part.

Maybe a bit smaller fork (not so near the border of the circle/icon) could be nice

[SmartFinn]

@morganist agreed. I have two suggestions. The first is to make the much fork bigger, and much less contrast, keep the paper plane alignment by center and place the fork "behind" the plane. And the second one is to move the fork in context circle (the separated circle on the right bottom).

That is creating a new issue with smaller sizes.

@SmartFinn

move the fork in context circle

Like this?

Also, can we drop the fork altogether? I think the icon looks distinguished enough.

Yep.

Of course, you could commit your second variant too.

Looks... interesting, for sure. However, I still prefer the simpler variant. I'll work on it.
