Everyone, we need to spruce the place up, so we wanted to reach out to you all for submissions for the icon and banner. Here's the idea: submit icons and banners (SFW please). I'll leave this stickied for 72 hours, then we'll pick the most popular of each by upvotes.

I couldn't find specs on icon dimensions, but it appears icons are square and tend to look best at least 256 x 256. Banners tend to be...rectangularish. Here are three banner examples: ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 )

As always, let me know if you have questions.

As this community shows up as 196 in web (not on yoyager) Can we rename it to 198? Just so we can easily see which one we're going to? πŸ˜…

I think it may be better to collect ideas first and then create a new post with all the entries as comments. Currently whatever gets commented first has the advantage of time to collect the votes. Just a thought tho.

Probably let this thread run for a few days, and then create a poll thread with all the suggestions

Surfacing this to the top for visibility, the old banner but as a Niko Oneshot textbox:

I think if we're gonna tell any extremists to fuck off, it should be nazis. Obviously tankies are shit and not welcome, but as a left leaning person I've been called a tankie for vanilla anticapitalism, and seeing it on the banner always put a bad taste in my mouth

Part of the problem is that tankies might actually think they're welcome, not just here, but most places on this instance. Nazis know they aren't welcome in a queer instance by its very nature.

That said, I get what you mean. It'd be best to have protecting queers & other minoritized groups in a banner as well, as Nazis are who we usually need protecting from

Here's a 512Β² icon:

If anyone wants the SVG file to edit it further, here's a link.

The shark was stolen from a Reddit post and then manually redrawn by me.

On the default lemmy ui at least, it looks like icons tend to be either ~20x20 when they're the small circle in the actual post, and 120x120 when they're in the community view as the 2 main sizes, and 24x24 also shows up in the community list section. Figured I'd mention some sizes in case it helps anyone designing an icon!

[–] Cornflake@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

Folks might want to see how these look at those dimensions:

20x20

120x120

@Cornflake@pawb.social also submitted an alternate icon version.

Shark

[–] ultrahamster64@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm voting for this one (and the one with blue bg too)

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

@Cornflake@pawb.social submitted this icon earlier so I wanted to ensure it gets in.

Rule old rule

Icon:

Banner:

Bad memories rule.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Like someone else said, bad memories for that though i would rock with the same banner text in a different design

but also, taking one last opportunity: wtf is the icon?

i recently realized half of it at least is Armenian Corey

something else is overlaid and i can’t tell what…

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

It was the reddit icon at the time of migration two years ago. It's the default subreddit icon overlayed with armenian corey overlayed with a funny looking bird.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

How about a Niko Oneshot textbox:
