Fully rebrand to Iceraven Browser

See original GitHub issue

As the winner of the name poll, we want to change the project name to “Iceraven”, and probably “Iceraven Browser” where convenient because of the other Iceraven that exist.

The header images have already been updated, but we still need to:

  • Draw a new icon and replace the old one (via Android Studio SVG import). Doesn’t have to be final or even good but it should probably not be the one we have with a weasel.
  • Rename the Github project (maybe @interfect needs to do this?). Here we would want to be iceraven-browser I think
  • Make sure moving the repo didn’t upset Travis
  • s/Iceweasel/Iceraven/g in all the strings files, and the tests that demand to know the browser name.
  • Change the app ID. When we get into F-Droid we probably want an app ID we are definitely sticking with. What domain should it be under?
  • Ship a release

Anything I’m forgetting?

Here’s a half-arsed bird with a circle which I actually have as SVG:

We could go more with bird head and circle like https://www.pinterest.com/pin/10414642876756335/

Either could work in the interests of getting something out. While simplistic, it actually does seem very much in keeping with recent trends in Android icon design.

Perhaps with a black fill instead of a white fill of the empty space?

I suspect that in the long run, the user base that will be attracted by Iceraven is going to want the more detailed designs of yore (i.e. a planet and not a ball, and a very detailed bird and not a silhouette), but it looks good enough to use temporarily to get releases out until something better comes along.

On a related note, if the next release is the rebrand and we aren’t going to do a final Iceweasel first, you may want to consider using versioning instead of “Fork 11”- i.e. “Iceraven 1.0”, “Iceraven 1.11”, “Iceraven 11.0”, “Iceraven 80.0”, “Iceraven 0.11”, or whatever seems most suitable (I trust everyone sees where the example numbers are coming from.).

OK, I think we have all the pieces. I’m going to do a release!
