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.

Biblically accurate lemmy

A bit overwhelming on the eyes. But that’s only a personal opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's pretty sweet! Nice work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You: Which one do you like?

Me: Yes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The bottom two would make a nice favicon on my bookmarks bar!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just wait until Ruud turns on custom emojis! Then we will really be cooking with gas.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I made this 16x16 favicon (CC0 license)

The first is by far the best. A logo is not a name tag. You don’t need to have lemmy.world written in it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Any logo is better than the current one tbh.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

2nd to last one. Simple is better.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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 dear. That's concerning. I'm... going to go check on my hosting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I like the bottom one I think. And number 3.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I’m digging the last two. Simple and minimalist.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

These are great!

My best idea for a logo was the lemming-gerbil humping the shit out of a planet. It was... not a good idea.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

looks clean and nice. good work.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Try making the left ear blue and the right one green.

Yeah any of these are honestly better than the current one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Does lemmy have polls? It could be useful to see which one people like the most

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If we're talking about the logo, I vote for #4

For banner, I'd say #1 or #2

Both 1 & 2 look better on a web browser but on mobile the globe has a weird texture look to it. I like #1 as a banner and #5 for the icon. I will say I also like the current icon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

Green: 0/158/85

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I like the simple one with white bg.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Am I the idiot or is it really a penis next to its right cheek on the images with the globe? Maybe both.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh dear. Now that you mention it, I kinda see it too. Thanks for the flag: I'm... going to give it a think about how to shift it so that... isn't there. Maybe in the second version.

Idk I like the design but the plastic wrap filter in the planet makes it seem too busy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The bottom ones. Remind me of Braveheart πŸ˜ƒ

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

love them! much better than the current one id say, its got too much going on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I like the first one the best, but the second one is also great. But they all look awesome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Adorable, I love the ones with the earth in the background.
