Admittedly, I'm not much of a graphics dude, but I think this is pretty charming :3

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
