General tip for buttons or labels, try to keep sufficient space from the border. The usual distance measure should be at least the size of a letter o.

Regarding colors, there are more than just the Fortran purple, a palette I've been using for Fortran related projects can be found at fortran-lang/assets#3.

Thanks @awvwgk for the tip, although the spacings should be alright. What they are not is properly centered, but I am not sure if that is a bad thing since the README is generally left justified.

I will have a look for the color pallete, might change a few "buttons" around. Also it would be a good idea to design a logo for FPM and stdlib

We have an fpm logo, checkout fortran-lang/fpm#380 (comment). I just owe the author to add it to the fpm documentation.

Awesome I will update it now.

Do you think it would be a good idea to start a repo with all the artwork assets? I find myself looking for the SVGs quite often, so it would be more convenient if we could use a GitHub raw URL instead.

Best convert the text to a path, otherwise the svg will look strange if the correct fonts are not available.

Completely forgot about that (and that is why I had a pngs before), nice catch. This is basically done (after converting to paths). Do you think we need to add anything more?

PS I accidentally edited your comment apologies for that

I just realised that VSCE i.e. VS Code Marketplace, has banned SVGs since they can be a security vulnerability so I will have to convert all the SVGs to high quality PNGs anyway.
