EDIT: NOW CLOSED! Thank you to everyone that entered! 💙
As part of the v1 launch, I’m hoping to adopt a new community-driven app icon! 🥰 As promised, here is the thread for your submissions! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
NOTE: Please only post finalized submissions here! If you would like to workshop your submission with the community, feel free to make a separate thread. :)
What do I win??
wefwef *ahem* Voyager is a free and open source project, so there isn't a cash prize or anything. But, credit to you will be officially in the app settings and the Github repo readme!
Submission deadline
Submissions accepted NOW through July 16th, 10pm CT (depending on submission volume, may be extended).
Selection process
I will lock the thread after the submission window and nominate 3 icons (see below tips for what I’m looking for). I’ll take into account votes and comments from people. :) If there are very few submissions, I may extend the window to submit. Shortly after, I’ll create another thread for the community to vote to choose one of the final three!
Tips
- I encourage you to make the app icon FUN and colorful! Give the app a soul that reflects the community driven nature of Lemmy and the greater Fediverse. Icons using the display-p3 colorspace are encouraged. I love how an interconnected rainbow represents the Fediverse, and I’d love to see your personal artistic style :)
- I am purposely allowing raster icons for this contest, because I think too many app icons look bland, generic and… well… corporate vector bleh. I love the fun style of these Fediverse illustrations by David Revoy: https://framablog.org/2022/12/08/framasoft-2022-a-casserole-cooked-up-thanks-to-you-thanks-to-your-donations/?print=print
