Hi Everyone!

Not that there's anything wrong with the maple leaf, but I feel like we could use a better logo that is a little more lemmy themed.

Any of the more artisticly inclined folks like to help us out with a new logo?

My attempt. I can send a high resolution version if you guys like it.

This is pretty solid, thanks! I'll give it a bit to see if anyone else has ideas.

I like this. Any new logo definitely needs to keep the Canadian flag in it.

Really nice job. Have you tried making the nose red?

Accidentally posted form my world account, but I have an account on ca as well.

Can I ask for a minor tweak? On a black background the black outline just disappears, maybe toss a white border around the black to give it some definition on dark themes?

Heyo, didn't log into world for a while, so didn't see this. here it is with white outline, both white and red nose.

I gave Lemmy a toque.

And then I was reminded of Bob and Doug, so...

Here's a Lemmy themed logo which is indicative of where the instance is located (that being Canada).

... Who is this?

Am I bad Canadian for not knowing?

[–] MarkG_108 10 points 2 years ago

It's Lemmy from Motorhead, who was part of the inspiration for the name of the software:

Where does the name come from?

It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.

Attempt number two. These images came from the OpenClipArt gallery.

reminds me of Shaun the Sheep

[–] Shoucair 5 points 2 years ago

I vote to keep the current logo
