This community needs an icon... How's this?
This community needs an icon... How's this?
Admittedly, I'm not much of a graphics dude, but I think this is pretty charming :3
Here, have one without the background gradient:
Im all in on the gradient one
It is magnificent!
there is no "rule" in title, you must eat 100 gummy sharks as punishment
Coming in from all, I love it, blahaj looks amazing
I absolutely love it! Personally prefer the one with the background gradient.
Late 90s vibes
Thank you! ^^
great icon 🫶
I dig it.
oooo that looks so coollll! :O I think @SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone (offline atm) is the only one that can change the icon
I also love it! In the spirit of not being the other 196, maybe we should get a few options and put it to a community vote?
I hope they see this and consider it or perhaps somebody can make a more refined version of my idea :P
Do we want refined? The best memes are always terrible visual quality. I think a graphic that someone just kind of slapped together is perfect.
so cute 💜 I like no. 1
Looks really cool! 🩷🤍🩵
Rad. Both are 💯
THIS IS SO CUTE
I've seen 196 pop up a lot but i'm not in the loop, whats the community about?
Originally from Reddit as r/196, 196 is a community where the "rule" is to post something before you leave.
Here on Lemmy, it's mostly become a place to share memes, and because this is on the instance lemmy.blahaj.zone, it's cultivated a largely LGBT-positive identity with a focus on the trans community.
You'll find that most posts are titled with "rule" in the name. It's not really necessary, but it's become a staple of what makes a 196 post a 196 post.
it was very lgbt friendly even before lemmy
blahaj :D
I'm afraid it doesn't scale that good. If small you can't recognize it anymore but that's true so many icons so I don't really care that much
Goes hard af
Cool idea. I would suggest centering the rings inside the frame and maybe vectorizing the blåhaj to make it look better as an icon.
Those are some awesome ideas, unfortunately I've not got the knowhow to vectorize stuff. Maybe somebody with more skill could take this idea and execute it with better design, I think Blåjh with trans rings would really set us apart well from the other 196s
I like the Blaahaj as it is
It's. Perfect.
I think this works better as an instance icon. There's nothing in this that suggests "196" in any way, unless there's some kind of reference I'm missing.
That's a totally valid critique. I'm honestly not sure what makes a 196 icon a 196 icon- the other communities just used Saturn. I figured expressing the lemmy.blahaj.zone part in the logo would distinguish this one as the "real" 196.
That's a pretty good point, actually - we definitely need an easy way to differentiate the subs visually.
I guess but it's still really cool and I guess could kinda represent the whole no we're staying on blahaj part
Shork 💜
Why not use this as the icon?
Might not hurt to push his head through the ring a little more
