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](https://github.com/fortran-lang/vscode-fortran-support/pull/622)

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](https://github.com/fortran-lang/fortran-lang.org/issues/342#issuecomment-997830189) for an example).

For _fpm.toml_ you could use the fpm logo, see [The fpm logo — Fortran Package Manager](https://fpm.fortran-lang.org/en/design/logo.html).

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