[Meta] Could we replace the AI generated icon and banner? (pawb.social)

I'm not sure if people care all that much, but whenever I visit this community I can't help but notice the fairly ugly icon and banner which is clearly AI generated.

Would it be worth updating these? Heck I can make something for the community if needed

The banner I can see yea I never noticed that before, but I like the community icon, it isn't a currently valid gamepad(that I can recognize), but gets the point across it's game related without hinting at a prioritization or preference of system.

If the icon changed I would love if it kept it's individuality by remaining a fake controller instead of being an image(or depiction) of a real one.

Just use an ouya controller

I think one the freepik icons that @[email protected] suggested would be a good idea. They are all fairly generic and most aren't clearly any one particular controller.

I never go to the community itself, I only browse by my subs. So I never see the banner, and I only see a tiny icon.

I honestly probably wouldn't notice if either changed.
