Here are some proposed graphics.





EDIT: I've now made a repository on GitHub, so that you can download the graphics and use them for your communities and projects. There's even an Etsy store selling stickers now.

It's the underlying tech in the open source AI image generation that started the explosion over the passed 6 months or so. If you want to play with it here's a link to a community driven resource: https://aqualxx.github.io/stable-ui/
skeuomorphism go brrr
Try making the left ear blue and the right one green.
Looks great! ❤️
Definitely better!
Agreed, that would look much better!
As a bit of a post script, I also made graphics for the Mastodon.world instance. So if these look familiar, well, it's because they are familiar! Thank you have having me here, Ruud, and to the whole Administrator team!
Oh, what a wonderful addition! That's a cutey if I've ever seen one @p1mrx@lemmy.world!
I guess if there were to be a banner, then #1 would be nice.
But for the logo I'd prefer #4
"They may take our third party apps..."
Yeah any of these are honestly better than the current one.
I like the first one the best, but the second one is also great. But they all look awesome.
I like the simple one with white bg.
idk why but it reminds me of Little Big Planet, especially the second one
anyway they all look pretty good, but if it will be displayed on the page next to the title, I think only fourth one will be visible clearly without getting close to the screen or opening image in a new tab
For the original effort on Mastodon, the Little Big Planet vibe was indeed an inspiration. The 'hand made' aesthetic is a really neat way to share that a place is being created and made by its users, and having it be a tangible, almost print or paper product, I felt it touched that key cultural element of both Lemmy and the work of the fediverse/activitypub.
Dont really like any of them. They are to busy for no real benefit. The logos are not unique enough that you would instantly recognize them. Because they are not better than the current generic earth picture I say we just leave it.
Yup.
2 & 4 are great.
4 looks like it'd make a good favicon - the shape is distinctive enough that, along with the colors, it should be easy enough to tell apart from other sites' icons when you have a bunch of tabs open.
2 is great for the general icon/logo on the website itself.
If we're talking about the logo, I vote for #4
For banner, I'd say #1 or #2
I like the 3rd one as it looks like a lemmy world in space and doesn't get muddled by a background. Much better design aesthetic overall but the clarity helps a ton.
#2 and #4. I like the detail and little extra going on for #2. #4 is nice because of the simplicity. Not too much going on but still looks good.
Trying to get a picture with smoother anti-aliasing for the site logo. The jagged edges really bug me.

SVG file: https://pastebin.com/6ywmisZK
Good edit. Thing is, I think there's some compression going on in the backend, so even with an .SVG file, it might be somewhat complicated.
I'm going to probably make a quick GitHub page for the editing files with an .SVG, so the mod team, admin team and community managers can access all the files and edit them to spec.
But you're right: the pixelation on the edges is causing my artist OCD to flare up. Good suggestion, Margot!
No problem!
It makes sense to go for simpler.
Also, the banners might need some extra work, as I think the various community pages might need a level of customization to reflect their local work (ie: listing the /c/support url).
Oh, I love their work.
One user exported all of their icons. I've been flipping through them ever since.
I like the three last most in order 3 5 4. I do also really like 1 and 2 but the texture on the planet makes them difficult and a bit weird to look at in a small size, at least from the look at the post thumbnail.
I like the last two, although the "world" part is less obvious.
New Reddit thing, I think. I've never used it, myself.
It won't help anyone to make a choice, but I love them all !
looks clean and nice. good work.
Things look very different with a fresh eye. Its so funny when unintended naughty things show up in designs! https://genitalsornot.com/
I like the bottom one I think. And number 3.
Love it!
Does lemmy have polls? It could be useful to see which one people like the most
Why a mouse? Seems a few Lemmy instances have a mouse as a logo / mascot.
I believe it's supposed to be a lemming, but the ears are way too big.
Ah! It's an inherited piece of artwork, based on the mother instance, err, or the original instance of Lemmy.ml and the open source project itself. It's a bit of a nod to the musician, the Mario character, an old video game, and, of course, the adorable critter.
Excellent to know. Thank you!
The Mario character is named after the musician, so I found that point odd when I first read it.
So, uh, is this a response to the ISIS thing?
Someone pointed out in a comment somewhere that the current logo for LW looked like the ISIS logo/flag.
Here’s the logo with a brighter palette. In fact it was created using Mastodon Purple (#563ACC) as the root color for the new blue, and green colors so that "Ruud Worlds" harmonize.
Blue: 0/131/246
Green: 0/158/85

Oh! I got a shoutout on Mastodon.
With all of the bits and bobs in flux, it's all good. I'm already noted on the Mastodon instance and on the blog, and for other projects, so it's all good.
We're probably due for a monthly update in late July, when things quiet down and things get sorted. So, I think a shoutout makes the most sense then (or maybe later).
Ohh.. I really like these! If you want to do a banner for !gaybros@lemmy.world, that would be awesome! We need one...
I'm complimented by the request!
I recommend... Checking in with your community, first. I've always found when there is a group of folks who get together, and create together, form some really amazing bonds. So perhaps give your team on your community a swing at a banner first.
And, if no one puts their hand up, let me know in a month, and I'll see what I can do!
I miss the old logo. It looked very old internet. The kind of thing I'd see on the cover of a vaporwave album.
I like the first one!

I like #1 and #2 for the banner but the globe should be different colors than the mouse. It makes them too hard to distinguish and the image looks cluttered
Maybe like 
Edit: actually would be nice with a shadow on the mouse too, like

Yes, that looks great! Having slightly different colours makes a big difference
Why can't it be a cat!
Because cats.
No reason why it couldn't be!
I think !cats@lemmy.world would love a themed logo, with extra whiskers and cat ears! ♥️
Got 6 cats in my farm house back home in Australia and the number of mice they kill a week is in the double digits. Before I got them I had a burning hatred towards the little buggers.
