Image for the Community Icon?

Just an idea since there isn't one yet. Obviously hoping this leads to some comments with customized ideas & discussion.

Maybe a phone above Google logo?

I mean, like that it's more 'Google' than 'Pixel', IMO.

Or maybe could go this route?

TIL that Pixel has it's own icon (I own one lol).

Good idea BTW!

looks good but I don't think Google uses that logo anymore?

or maybe go the creative route with:

Google's logo in pixel art style

or maybe (made using this opensource tool: https://giventofly.github.io/pixelit/):

pixelized Google's G logo

another attempt

I guess it's hard to maintain good proportions, as Lemmy will also circle-crop the image when you try to put it as a community icon

I'm pinning this to give it more visibility and to see whether there are any other ideas for the community icon.

and another try highlighting the Lemmy mascot even more:

Lemmy mascot filled with Google's colors and a small Pixel phone besides it

I'm stoked this led to a logo for the community!

a better one :-)

I think that's fine and it aligns with the subreddit too.

But whatever the icon is, we definitely need one - this community sticks out like a sore thumb by not having one.
