Contributing icons artwork for Modern Fortran in VS Code

We are adding language icons for Fortran in VS Code i.e. the icon that shows up next to the file name, currently the plan is to use the Fortran-lang logo for both Free and Fixed forms, in both light and dark theme.

If anyone has a better idea and is interested in contributing some artwork this is the PR: feat: add language icons by gnikit · Pull Request #622 · fortran-lang/vscode-fortran-support · GitHub

Using the Fortran-lang logo for all source source seems like a good choice. Personally, I would use it for both free and fixed form source in the Fortran-lang violet. If you want to make a visual distinction, best not use the cardboard brown for fixed form source, we have several other colors which go nicely with the Fortran-lang violet (see Choosing a license for logo and other artistic assets · Issue #342 · fortran-lang/fortran-lang.org · GitHub for an example).

For fpm.toml you could use the fpm logo, see The fpm logo — Fortran Package Manager.

Is there anything else which requires an icon? Depending on what you are aiming for I can give it a try.
