I love the server but I still don’t like the icon. Here are my submissions for possible alternatives:
I agree the current icon isn’t great but I’m also not a fan of any of your suggestions since none of them include the Lemmy “mascot”.
I gotchu fam
I actually really like the last one, with the vague globe and trees, and I think it would work for the page header and other places where you can see it clearly, but I think the two more cartoonish ones would stand up better to being shrunk down to the browser’s tab bar. Of those two I like #3 better than #1.
Oh I really like the first one! It’s simple enough it wouldn’t look weird when made into a small logo.
Very nice.
Some quick stuff I put together roughly based on these:
(Maybe wanted the ears in the circles, but scrapped these up real quick, so yk 🤷♂️)
I really like the first one, it has quite a playful feeling to it.
1, 3, and 7 are the best. Did you make them yourself, or are they AI-generated?
All 100% AI generated; if I made them myself they’d look like lumpy stick figures. 🙂
This is more like it. 3 & 6 are nice
My fav is #3. Simple enough that you can decipher it in a small format while clearly communicating what it is.
Number 3 and 7 are both great. 👍
I noticed you oriented the icon with the northern hemisphere on top.

Just the first thing I thought of ;-)
Heh. Right, I actually specifically liked #3 of the no-mascot options because there’s a subtle alteration that includes pretty much the entire globe (western hemisphere + almost all of Asia) in one graphic, which is nice. But on the other hand, we had to rotate Japan and Australia out of existence so we could get Alaska in the picture.
I do like the idea of a globe icon. Ruud seems to like matching his instance of Mastodon’s icon.
It’s 100% up to him, I think, but to me these ones look nice.
Okay, last iteration:
aww cute, i like these
