--- Comment #15 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Let's try to draft a guideline:

MIME type and application icons 
1) should pick up LibreOffice brand colors for the individual modules
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Colors)
  + using green for Writer is not allowed
  + using a Aqua blue for Writer is not allowed
2) should convey the brand symbol with a rectangular form and a donkey ear on
top right
  + donkey ear on top-left is not allowed
  + circular or complex shapes are not allowed
3) should be designed to blend into the intended OS/DE
  + monochrome colors are not allowed on macOS
  + non-symmetrical icons are not allowed on Android
4) have to be consistent in color and form for the various sizes
  + in case of Writer, using primary blue for 128px but secondary blue for
smaller sizes is not allowed
  + using a folded donkey ear at 128px but a flat on smaller sizes is not
allowed
5) can use symbols to support identification of modules 
  + using a detailed symbol for large icons but a minimalistic equivalent on
smaller sizes is recommended

Note: This idea picks up the general hesitation to have only one type of app
icons and considers what ideas have been submitted at
