Hi Everyone!

Not that there's anything wrong with the maple leaf, but I feel like we could use a better logo that is a little more lemmy themed.

Any of the more artisticly inclined folks like to help us out with a new logo?

My attempt. I can send a high resolution version if you guys like it.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

This is pretty solid, thanks! I'll give it a bit to see if anyone else has ideas.

I like this. Any new logo definitely needs to keep the Canadian flag in it.

Really nice job. Have you tried making the nose red?

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Here is is with a red nose.

Accidentally posted form my world account, but I have an account on ca as well.

Can I ask for a minor tweak? On a black background the black outline just disappears, maybe toss a white border around the black to give it some definition on dark themes?

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Heyo, didn't log into world for a while, so didn't see this. here it is with white outline, both white and red nose.

I gave Lemmy a toque.

And then I was reminded of Bob and Doug, so...

Here's a Lemmy themed logo which is indicative of where the instance is located (that being Canada).

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

... Who is this?

Am I bad Canadian for not knowing?

[-] MarkG_108@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

It's Lemmy from Motorhead, who was part of the inspiration for the name of the software:

Where does the name come from?

It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.

Attempt number two. These images came from the OpenClipArt gallery.

reminds me of Shaun the Sheep

[-] Shoucair@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I vote to keep the current logo
