I think B looks the nicest of the three by far. Good use of a monochromatic color scheme, nice balance between background and foreground elements, perfectly readable at a distance.

The design direction of A is a bit busy and stands out a little too much IMO, it looks kind of out of place next to stock iOS apps. C looks a bit too amateur, and has several tangents in it that really bother me - I do like the overall idea of it, but it could really use a rework.

If one is chosen, I’ll give the author the opportunity to tweak :)

I started with C, but then clicked the links to compare what hey all looked like on a Home Screen (yes, I eventually followed instructions .. look at me go). B is clearly the standout for me.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My vote is for B, but I think it would look good with a splash of the multicolor like the other two do.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like the lack of multicolor for an icon. I also liked the ability to change icons in Apollo if I was feeling colorful during that period of my life.

I hate to say it but the options are a bit disappointing. I wish the top community upvoted submission was considered:

I like B personally, but the choices aren't adaptable icons on Android 🥲 if anyone knows a good way of forcing that on Nova launcher let me know

Add me to the “unfortunately I don’t think any of them are great and can’t/won’t single out one to vote for, but truly appreciate all the effort that’s been put in” list

I'm going with C. A is pretty cute too though.

[–] infotainment 11 points 1 year ago

I don't really get what's going on with C, it seems like it's the Lemmy logo wearing a VR headset.

[–] droidiac 28 points 1 year ago

The current one is way better than any of these. No offense to the designers they look great but I just don’t think they beat out what’s already there.

[–] orphiebaby 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I like B the most.

C isn't bad. Give it the smiling eyes in white and it'll probably be better.

A is too busy.

My primary vote goes to D - The current icon. My secondary vote would go to C but much more colorful.

Edit: “VPN user voting is not allowed”. Really? We’re afraid someone will use VPN to brigade this icon vote?

I'm not voting because none of them look good, sorry :(

The voting should’ve let us rank the icons instead of just choosing one (or at least choose multiple). That way, your second wish could count if the first one didn’t make it. Now, if the votes are split 1/3 each, you could end up with an icon that only 1/3 want, even if 2/3 preferred one of the other ones.

The winner-takes-it-all voting is a bad idea.

None, they are all markedly worse than the current icon.

[–] sknob 21 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Another vote for the current icon. These are all a lot worse.

Is there an option to keep the current icon?

B is a cutie 🥰

[–] ruud 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A, but I like the current icon better.

B is really the best of the 3 and by a long margin.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

B is the best looking design.

[–] Vub 15 points 1 year ago

No offence to the creators of A and C but they both completely lack the right spacing, centering, decent line widths etc to suit an app icon. They both look broken.

So … B. By far.

But I almost like the current icon more because it is so colourful, it just needs a modified lemming.

[–] Xanadia 15 points 1 year ago

C, as it looks timeless

[–] jiji 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it’s not productive to say but I don’t like any of them more than the current rainbow one. 😢

I am new here so haven't seen the previous suggestions but all three here are not ideal. Actually far from it.

I'd suggest letting people donate for a pro to make a few suggestions instead

None. (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

[–] Ghostalmedia 12 points 1 year ago

B.

Although I’m kinda bummed that only one of the community’s top three made it into the final around. 😔

B and it's not even close

[–] RIM74 11 points 1 year ago

I like the C option best for its simplicity
