What is the easiest/fastest way to create an icon for my own application, that looks like the ones from Odoo.

I found that the original Odoo icons are square, "material design" icons and have shadow toward bottom left.

My easiest/fastest way:

Find an image you want to use in Odoo icon. This image is usually black and white and it's PNG or SVG file.
Flip image horizontally (I'll tell you why in a moment). You can use some software or online tools.
Go to https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/and click "Launcher icon generator"
Load your image, set color to white, choose background color and set effect to "Cast shadow". Shadow is only toward bottom right and we need toward bottom left. That's why we fliped image horizontally. Download icon pack.
Flip icon horizontally again and crop to have 140x140 icon. Done!

Do you know easiest/fastest way?

An alternative is https://spilymp.github.io/ibo/

Here you can also download the created icon directly as an image and the creation is a bit more comfortable than via the generator of Ray/Fabrice. But there are less icon sets supported so far:

https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&m=free
https://icons.getbootstrap.com/
https://simplelineicons.github.io/
https://remixicon.com
https://tabler-icons.io/

But everybody is invited to extend the icon generator at https://github.com/spilymp/ibo and to add additional icon sets.

Please visit https://codepen.io/fheodoo/pen/XWNawZd

This was created by Fabrice. It supports thousands of icons. It is consistent with Odoo's standard design. It can be extended to any icon set.

It currently showcases examples using:

https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&m=free
https://simplelineicons.github.io/
https://useiconic.com/open
https://material.io/resources/icons/
https://tablericons.com/
https://erikflowers.github.io/weather-icons/
https://icons.getbootstrap.com/#icons
https://remixicon.com/

Hello @Daniel,

I found this site : https://android-material-icon-generator.bitdroid.de/

This is much easier and user friendly site to create material design icons. The only condition for using custom icons is that the format should be .svg for the icon file that you upload.

Hope this helps.

Thank you!
