Add save-as icon and save alternative

[lscheibel]

I had these a bit more modern looking alternatives for save icons lying around for a while now.

This would also address feathericons/feather#609

Not bad (certainly solves the save as fiasco), but maybe the arrow could be a bit more pronounced (this would also make the icon more visually centered):

[karsa-mistmere]

Sidenote: if we add this alternate save icon, I think a matching load icon should be trivial. :)

@lscheibel Nice love the alternative ones.

[lscheibel]

I agree, that the arrow is better readable when increased in size, however just increasing it's size makes the icon feel packed/dense. Instead we could also increase the bounds size like so:

This goes against the 1px margin guideline, however I like this much better than truncating the arrows tail.

[karsa-mistmere]

Yeah, that particular guideline is pretty crucial, so that 3px strokes do not overflow or get clipped.

I've been doodling around, here are a few alternate versions:

I've also been wondering whether it is preferable to keep the arrows consistent between the two icons (top row) or keep the centre of gravity about the same (bottom row):

What do you think, @ericfennis?

Sorry for late reply, was on vacation.
Hmm I'm not sure yet of the whole concept of the icon. I'm not sure if this icon is recognisable enough as a "save-as" icon.
Do we have some examples of icons have this as a save-as icon?

[karsa-mistmere]

Yeah, I also have my doubts. From what I could find this design originates from a submission to a competition to redesign the save as icon:

Not sure if anyone ever actually used it, at least I couldn't find any icon sets actually containing an icon like this for either save or save as.

This one needs more exploration, to something recognisable. I close this one for now.
