Guys, I know this won’t happen but a week ago I created this icon with AI while I was sad because we lost Apollo. I wished Christian would make a transition to lemmy but he was completely silent.
Then I found out about wefwef and I'm really glad that I can have nearly the same experience while surfing on lemmy.
Even if I'm using mostly all available Apps for iOS, the only true successor to Apollo is Voyager.
Best idea so far, since it takes from Apollo for recognition's sake.
However, the logo is way too busy for the purpose it'll have: An App Icon. Logos in general are very minimized, and these details aren't readable at that minute scale.
I think somewhere, iterating off of this, would be the winner idea. At least, unless if someone wants to do something completely different off of the name, like a rocket ship or a boat, or something with a yellow disc like those ones the Voyager departed with.
I agree wholeheartedly. Whenever some is doing app design, I always tell them - just because the PNG submission recommendation is 1024x1024px, there’s only one time people will ever see it at that res (in the store); after that, it gets scaled down as small as 120x120 for Home Screen use (or 58x58 in settings).
There’s a reason boring, flat vector design wins - fast, universal legibility.
I don't think it's too busy at all. It looks great on my home screen.
