Also adds symlink for Steam icon, ID 1874490

I'm not sure about the rendering against light backgrounds, but it looks fine otherwise.

Let me know if I 1.) should add a dark background shape (likely dark grey, tinted ever so slightly purple) to give it some contrast, and 2.) whether or not said background shape should be included on the 16x or not.

Hi @aaheen -

I'm afraid this one really will require a background. Not just for light background users (I'm one, so I can test!), but because we don't like to have large negative space or holes in the middle of icons. It's rare these days with modern libs, but gaps can create unclickable zones.

You can get creative with base shape, even let the icon protrude a bit provided the contrast between base and shape is enough for the most relevant parts. This might help you out a bit if you don't want to rescale and realign it: just make sure the margins are respected.

Are you OK to do this? Sorry it's been a few months. Let me know if you need me to pick this one up.

Looking at this again, the general vibe of the game's artwork is "purple chemistry/alchemy mysterious haze", especially when the logotype's involved. Sometimes it's on a brown wood base with purple light reflecting on it. I guess that also hints at a possible shape for the base in Papirus
