General: New battery-bugdroid mascot app icon - #81
Merged
Conversation
The old icon (gradient "A" + battery glyph on navy) didn't match the playful character icons of the sibling apps (SD Maid, Octi, Permission Pilot, Butler). The new icon is the family bugdroid whose body is a battery cell: green dome head with eyes and antennas, navy casing with a lime-to-teal wavy charge fill and a white lightning bolt. All four launcher layers are regenerated: background (off-white, family style), foreground (safe-zone scaled, no sparkles so round masks never clip), monochrome (white silhouette with even-odd eye/bolt cutouts, legible at notification size), and the pre-composed full icon used by onboarding/upgrade. The fastlane icon and the feature graphic (via gen_feature_graphic.sh) are regenerated to match. The layer SVGs are committed as the source of truth under tools/marketing/icon/ with gen_icon.py to rasterize every density, mirroring the gen_feature_graphic.sh pattern.

Build/Deploy
At scale 0.72 the character sat noticeably smaller in its tile than the sibling apps' characters do. Scale 0.92 matches their framing while keeping every element (sparkle tips at radius ~246) inside the 256px circle that onboarding and the upgrade screen clip this asset to. Adaptive foreground/monochrome layers keep their safe-zone scale and are unchanged. Fastlane icon and feature graphic regenerated.
The GitHub Pages site (amply.darken.eu) renders README.md from main as its landing page, and both use .assets/banner.png as the hero image. Regenerated via tools/marketing/gen_banner.sh, which mirrors the already-updated feature graphic.

What changed
Amply gets a new app icon: an Android mascot whose body is a battery, in the same playful character style as the sibling apps (SD Maid, Octi, Permission Pilot, Butler). The green bugdroid head sits on a navy battery cell with a wavy lime-to-teal charge fill and a lightning bolt. The launcher icon, themed/monochrome icon, notification icon, in-app brand mark, Play Store icon, and feature graphic all carry the new design; the old abstract "A" logo is retired.
Technical Context
ic_launcher_fullstays pre-composed on its background because onboarding and the upgrade screen circle-clip it; the background moved from navy to the family's off-white, which reads as a light badge on both light and dark surfaces.gen_icon.pyrasterizer are committed undertools/marketing/icon/, mirroring the existinggen_feature_graphic.shpattern; the feature graphic is regenerated from the new fastlane icon via that script.
