Community update: a new banner & Icon? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

and I would move the banner inkblot a little farther from the s

My first idea was to make it exactly like that but when drawing the blot I thought it might be cool to partially cover the 's' but if it's not working... then it's not working. Here it is:

Thx again for your feedback and, please, keep coming back with more if you feel it's needed. Just don't be surprised, after this comment I'll be sleeping for the next few hours ;)

Thx!

Could we do just the text without the pen for the banner? So if you see the icon and the banner at once it isn’t showing two pens?

That's a good point. Something like that, then?

Edit 18/12: I updated the proposition, based on u/SomeAmateur remarks.

What do you think? Feel free to comment, even if it is to point out the things you don't like, or that you don't like this proposition at all and prefer the old one. I'm no logo designer, I can promise you won't hurt my feelings ;)

Original post:

Since 2025 is getting closer I thought it might be a good opportunity to change the banner and the icon.

Here is a quick mock-up to promote something a tad less... serious.

There are two versions of the banner, one with and one without our dear Lemmy. And two versions of the community icon too, one with and one without the name in their default square shape and as a circular icon too, so you can get a better idea what they would look like.

What do you think? Is there one you prefer? Do they both suck, and the banners too?

Update: the sidebar should be updated now. Would you mind telling me if you can see the new version?

There’s still a lot of rough edges like that with Lemmy right now, but that’s software in development for ya. =/

Indeed. Even after I upgraded my new account to Mod, it was still not working as expected but no complaining: it's great to be able to use Lemmy even with its... weaknesses ;)

I think you're right about that. I just created this account on sh.itjustworks and will make it the new Admin. Hopefully getting rid of those issues.
