Help request for CRPG community icon using Lemmy mascot (lemmy.world)

I mod/curate !tycoon@lemmy.world and we have a solid icon:

I tried to replicate the style for !crpg@lemmy.world:

But IMO it didn't work out that well, the styling of the 3 elements (helm, sword, spell book) doesn't align with the Lemmy mascot style. The tycoon icon is "hand-drawn" and the cRPG icon is the best I could find on google images.

It's somewhat fine as people see it at a lower resolution, but my OCD doesn't let me let go.

If someone has time/interest to build out a more coherent version where the 3 elements (helm, sword, spell book) align with the Lemmy mouse flat/comic style, I would appreciate it. If not, that's fine too.

do you have the sources for the three items? I could then try to make it a coherent icon.

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, PNG variant of helm, sword, spell book:

how about this? flat coloured with approximated same stroke and border widths?

(i have it as svg available)

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Thank you so much!

Final version is now on !crpg@lemmy.world

EDIT: My sincere apologies, but I think second variant (lower in the thread) is a better fit.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

no prob, t'was fun :)

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about erpg?

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You're welcome to post your icon variant for an erpg style.

Keep in mind no one said it's going to be uploaded. 😆
