LW Holiday Logos (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by lwCET to c/lemmyworld
 

Hello World,

You may have seen the LW holiday themed logos we have used for Halloween and Thanksgiving. LW's users represent many countries around the world and we want to celebrate holidays and other special days that are local to you, but our team is fairly small and we aren't aware of a lot of the local customs out there. So we're asking you what you would like to see represented in a LW themed logo. What are some holidays/special days in your area and how do you celebrate them? And not just major holidays, we would like to celebrate festivals, days of remembrance, and other special days.

Please, comment below your suggestions and ideas on how we could represent them in the LW logo.

EDIT: Mostly looking for events throughout the year. What's left of 2023 is already in work. Thanks!

...and Thanksgiving. LWโ€™s users represent many countries around the world...

I wasn't paying attention/didn't think about it until now, but was the Thanksgiving logo also up for Canadian Thanksgiving or only the USian one?

Also, here's a nice list to get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_multinational_festivals_and_holidays

In terms of ones coming up soon, I'm a fan of Saturnalia (Dec 17-23) and Festivus (Dec 23).

The first logo made was for Halloween, so we, unfortunately, missed Canadian Thanksgiving, but will be sure to include next year. Thanks for the link. What we're looking for is users' personal experiences with holidays, as we may not be as familiar as a person local to that area would be. We can easily look up a list and make something, but we want to make sure they are represented accurately. Thank you!
