<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thus, we were not able to just use the SAP logo in a monochrome and QGIS-blueish version, which would have been our preferred option. We also found it quite odd to use the SAP logo as-is as it would look exotic in the
list of similar-colored icons. So we decided to go for the famous SAP HANA “in-memory chip”. This is not an official logo, but quite known by customers in terms of symbology. We took the in-memory chip shown
<a href="https://developers.sap.com/mission.cloudsdk-cf-app.html" target="_blank">here</a> and adjusted the color to meet the QGIS colors (at least as good as we could).

I do not have a really good feeling for colors, but recently also the Hana icons were added:<br>

<br>
does that 'fit' in the 'color scheme'? (asking to peeps with designer/cartography backgrounds)<br>
<br>
(not sure who did the earlier cleanup of our icon theme)<br>
