home icon

I'm surprised there are no home/house/apartment icon in the maki?

We (I) should make one!

Hi @YunjieLi! Would love to have you contribute to maki. Check out the guidelines: https://www.mapbox.com/maki-icons/guidelines/

Ping me in chat if you want to talk more about this.

@YunjieLi started this home icon several months ago, and wanted to post progress to the ticket for your feedback:

I'm torn about which house is working best. The house, at dead center on the artboard, is put in a situation where the door and window widths end up looking either a little too narrow or a little too wide when they are pixel aligned. I'm posting a list of a number of variations at scale as well as my personal preference at this point.

1. 
   too little detail

2. 
   this one is nice, but the windows get too close to the edge

3. 
   my personal favorite, however the door makes a big jump in size

4. 
   this house looks too skeptical and kind of mad

5. 
   windows feel bunched together

6. 
   although the windows are in the same spot as 2, without the door it bothers me less

---

Here's number 3 from above in more detail. I think this option is working best because it has some detail, but the lack of windows actually helps to differentiate it from city, town, village, and building.

Thoughts on this approach?
