In newer versions of GIMP, you can draw geometric shapes directly.
The GIMP arrow, also known as the "GIMP mascot," is a stylized representation of an arrow pointing to the right, often accompanied by the GIMP logo. The arrow was first introduced in the early 2000s as a way to brand the software and create a recognizable visual identity. The design of the arrow is simple, yet distinctive, making it easily recognizable even in various forms of media.
