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 30th of August, 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!
I was inspired by Eternity from Marvel Comics who looks like this
The icon is Lemmy’s mascot with an infinity symbol for eyes, it is a nod to both the concept of Eternity and a callback to the Infinity client as Eternity was formerly known as Infinity for Lemmy.
Looks like a not-melted meta (facebook) logo
So the infinity symbol is now a “not-melted meta logo”. Please kill me.
