Hello everyone!
You may have noticed that Eternity’s icon could use a bit of a facelift (I just hacked it together to have something). Well, it’s time for a change and I’d like to get all you talented folks involved!
So, I want to host a competition where you can submit your designs for a new app icon. Once we have all the submissions, we can vote as a community to pick our new icon!
Some details to keep in mind:
Deadline: I’ll be accepting submissions until the 8th of September, 2023, 18:00 CET. I might extend this deadline if we have too few submissions.
Format: Submissions should be in SVG or PNG format, with a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Resolution: Please ensure your design is at least 512x512 pixels if you’re going with PNG.
Monochrome Version (Optional): It’d be great to see a monochrome version of your design too (for Material You icons).
Design: Your design should be colorful, fun, and engaging. The original UFO spaceship could be a source of inspiration, or elements of the fediverse or Lemmy. Of course, if you’ve got another creative idea, go wild!
Once the submissions close, we’ll have a public vote to pick the winner (similar to what we did with the app name).
Thanks in advance for participating.
Happy designing!
You should probably add what license the icon will be under, if it’s submitted to the project. Creative Commons? GPL?
Here is a showcase of my icons, both monochrome and full detail. One was inspired by the UFO design, one by this community’s current placeholder icon. I could tweak these a little more, but I think that these are good for now.
Here’s my submission! Pictured below is the little dude taking a space walk out in psychedelic space. I loved the palette of the original icon, so I kept that mostly the same.

I liked the old one. We should keep it and/or allow people to vote to keep it in, for now. And we can repeat the contest when the userbase grows.
