New icon for lemmy.world?

I really enjoy lemmy.world and lemmy in general. And this is obviously not that important compared to increased server loads.

But am I the only one that finds current icon a little bit dated?

More flat design I think could look better.

AI is very confused by my request and I'm not sure it actually knows what a lemming is.

Petition to make this the new icon.

I am open for suggestions / designs.

While it's better than the old one, the new logo has some issues, IMO.

The main one is that it's too complicated - with a logo that is meant to be viewed small, the simpler the better.

I would suggest using either the lemmy head or the LW text, but not both together. Hell even something super simple, like this, would work well.

You could hold an icon contest.

A few communities I'm in have been going with the theme of lemmings dressed up or doing something related to the subject matter. So how do we do that for a whole world?

A world actually made out of lemmings sounds far too gross.

Edit: Maybe he's holding up the globe, Atlas-style? 🤔

Maybe a Firefox-style jerboa or lemming?

Edit: 10k users, wow!

Suggestion: Globe in the center and a circle of lemmings (like from the classical game) holding hands all along the circumference?

nooo, the icon was one of the things that drew me to .world

i don't know whether it's original or taken from somewhere, but it's so glossy and nice

flat design has always been boring, but it's starting to become unfashionable as well

Idk, I think flat design is for the big corporate entities who want to alienate the design as much as possible (windows icon became only 4 one-color rectangle for example). It's not a problem if you are different from the flat-designers. Just be creative.

It does look a little dated but I kind of like it that way. Reminds me of "the good old days"™

Flat design in my opinion would make this instance stand out less, I really enjoy the current icon, it has charm to it.

Strongly agree with this observation!
