wakest ⁂replied to wakest ⁂ on last edited by [email protected]
thinking about iconography, I love are.na's logo and and it would be sorta funny to use ⁂ cause it's about the same with an extra *
added in my screenshot is element's logo that feels a bit bland to me but does express some type of interaction of discrete servers
-
to play with @raphael's suggestion heres the ⁂ on a gradient filled rounded rectangular
-
@raphael I never thought that asterisks can have different amounts of points but looking thru the fonts on my phone apparently they do
-
@liaizon Yes! and 6 branch asterisks makes good connections possibilities.

@liaizon Tests with cloned shapes #⁂

@raphael yoooo this is great! I think we are on to something!
-
@liaizon Still I believe the best shapes are the simplest (+ subtle joints)
-
ok @raphael we need to come back to this thread! I have been thinking about this for months and I still think a new fediverse logo is needed and I think the stacked *** / ⁂ is the best thing we have come up with
-
@liaizon Up to talk more about it!

@raphael I am really not a designer but have been hanging out with enough designers over the years that I can put on my designer hat. I would actually love your input on working on a more unified fediverse "brand guidelines" (ugh just uttering that out loud makes me wanna puke a little) but I think we really do need some sort of thought put into the visual presentation of this place "as a whole" something
