196ers - We need a banner and icon!
Everyone, we need to spruce the place up, so we wanted to reach out to you all for submissions for the icon and banner. Here's the idea: submit icons and banners (SFW please). I'll leave this stickied for 72 hours, then we'll pick the most popular of each by upvotes.
I couldn't find specs on icon dimensions, but it appears icons are square and tend to look best at least 256 x 256. Banners tend to be...rectangularish. Here are three banner examples: ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 )
As always, let me know if you have questions.
Here's a 512² icon:
If anyone wants the SVG file to edit it further, here's a link.
The shark was stolen from a Reddit post and then manually redrawn by me.
Surfacing this to the top for visibility, the old banner but as a Niko Oneshot textbox:
Niko ftw!!
no rule in title = eat 100 gummy sharks as punishment
196 you mean.
no rule in title = molten gold poured down ones throat

@Cornflake@pawb.social submitted this icon earlier so I wanted to ensure it gets in.
@Cornflake@pawb.social also submitted an alternate icon version.
I'm voting for this one (and the one with blue bg too)
Rule old rule

Banner:
Like someone else said, bad memories for that though i would rock with the same banner text in a different design
but also, taking one last opportunity: wtf is the icon?
i recently realized half of it at least is Armenian Corey
something else is overlaid and i can’t tell what…
Bad memories rule.
I like the old banner, just needs something behind it
On the default lemmy ui at least, it looks like icons tend to be either ~20x20 when they're the small circle in the actual post, and 120x120 when they're in the community view as the 2 main sizes, and 24x24 also shows up in the community list section. Figured I'd mention some sizes in case it helps anyone designing an icon!
Folks might want to see how these look at those dimensions:
20x20
120x120
Good idea yeah! The 20x20 one will look a little more crunchy than the actual icon would end up, since the actual image file is still higher quality than 20x20 in terms of pixel density, its just the displayed height/width that gets smaller.
The 20x20 one will probably be closer to the same quality as the 120x120 one you posted (probably a bit more blurry), and the 120x120 size will be closer to the full quality one.
