Proposed: Lemmy.world logo.

3 years ago by Vincent St. Pierre to c/support

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.

Are you working with the site admins to include this? It will require scaling the png to 25% size, and a line of HTML:

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

vsp 2 points 3 years ago

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.

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.

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!

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).
