My eye sight is getting worse everyday people.

This is mostly a light hearted post to give the community something low stakes to discuss and decide on.

Maybe there won’t be any interest, or maybe we have a lot of ideas for icons and even banners?

Here are a few:

This one already exists by a company, but all of their domains are for sale, and they haven’t been socially active for almost three years now. I doubt they’ll be filing any complaints about a community using an icon that you can’t reverse image search. Still, always a risk.

4 has some lines through it, but it’s not noticeable when it’s a teeny tiny icon. I think a nice pillar will be good c:

Solid candidates here! The last one is barely visible to me because of the dark background on my webpage and the transparent background on that image, but with a white field behind it, would work great.

but I also like #2 and #3 so

A white pillar with a black outline will fix it up. There are plenty online that are freely available.

As for the Sidebar image. Either some famous artwork, maybe the famous School of Athens artwork? Though it feels pretentious and snooty.

So I think just a forest will do.

It could depend on the App you’re using, but I (using Liftoff) can see a community picture besides the title of a post

I love this for a baseline, leaning into the theme. The Theatre of Dionysus could work too, it kinda looks like an old forum.

Too real, man - the streamlined version from @annegreen fully captures the essence of the thing, while also suggesting to the observer ‘MS Paint FTW’

Agreed, it should have an icon

I agree, i tried to leverage some ai imaging software but wasn’t satisfied with the results. We need an icon for the community and a banner would make things easier on the eyes.

Id love to see what everyone suggests we should use

which ones did you try?

Ive got midjourney and a janky local version of stable diffusion (diffusionbee) on tap. Happy to take requests (for as long as my time and credits allow)
