I love the server but I still don't like the icon. Here are my submissions for possible alternatives:

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.
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
Oh I really like the first one! It's simple enough it wouldn't look weird when made into a small logo.
Very nice.
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.
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.
Number 3 and 7 are both great. 👍
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 🤷♂️)
1, 3, and 7 are the best. Did you make them yourself, or are they AI-generated?
I noticed you oriented the icon with the northern hemisphere on top.
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.
aww cute, i like these
I really like #4 and #6. I could see using one of those with the LW superimposed on top of the globe.
