You all probably know about > **[IntelliJ Platform Icons](https://intellij-icons.jetbrains.design/)** This where you [can get nice icons](https://blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2024/08/more-new-ui-icons-for-your-plugins/) for your plugins. ## Composing New Icons Based on Letters But today I want to highlight an awesome website by @dseptimus . It produces custom IntelliJ-style letter icons for plugin developers: > **[Letter Icon Composer](https://davidseptimus.github.io/letter-icon-composer/)** ![Letter Icon Composer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/jetbrains_platform/original/2X/e/e68e7c2bd24c0d320bef333f6ef44d3a8228540b.jpeg) It is so easy to generate new letter-based icons now! # Icons with Modifiers One more thing I have recently build on my own - an easy way to combine icons and modifiers! > **[IntelliJ Icon Blender](https://jreznot.github.io/intellij-icon-blender/)** ![IntelliJ Icon Blender](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/jetbrains_platform/original/2X/d/d75f3ce70e2d34eab782b18977df5f590c080933.png) Try it out!

It also has a generic **Badge Composer** mode that allows you to add badges to an arbitrary base SVG, I just didn’t bother updating the name when I added that mode. 😄 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/jetbrains_platform/original/2X/3/3cd8337e56e9124c010b1c5ea21ddb465fe8258e.png) ---

This is awesome. I’m curious - how do the different projects implement cutouts for the badges? I jumped through some major hoops using Java2d to do that since it has nice CSG and offsetting operations. Does native SVG offer anything similar? ---

The primary cutout mechanism in my tool uses [paper.js](http://paperjs.org/about/) to build a badge silhouette and then [paperjs-offset](https://github.com/glenzli/paperjs-offset) to create the cleared area around that silhouette. Then it uses [boolean subtraction](http://paperjs.org/examples/boolean-operations/) (also from paper.js) to carve the affected area out of the base icon. When it works, you get a highly optimized SVG, but there are some edge cases where it doesn’t, so there are both manual and automatic fallbacks to use SVG `clipPath` elements instead. ---

This is really cool. Do you think it could be combined with AI to generate matching IntelliJ-style SVG icons from natural-language prompts, for example for MCP services? ---

Yes, I almost exclusively use the tool via the CLI entrypoint by giving Claude Code a [skill](https://github.com/DavidSeptimus/letter-icon-composer/blob/main/.claude/skills/letter-icon-composer/SKILL.md) that describes how to use it effectively. No real need for MCP per-se. I work with the agent to come up with a list of required variants (color, shape, letter, badges) for a particular initiative and then have it generate the full list. If something’s off, I just describe some desired adjustments and it regenerates the icon(s). ---

I have implemented simple scale-up for modifier icon and clip in SVG, so we cut out its bigger silhouette
