The Fediverse name and logo are fine.

@BeAware Social web is a worse name change for the #Fediverse than #Twitter to #X.
Don't. -

@BeAware I dunno, personally I don't like the current fediverse logo. Tried to make it look good on a site a couple months ago and gave up and just put the mastodon logo in there instead, which probably isn't great for a network defined by many different servers.
Threads introduced their own fediverse logo probably for the same reason Flipboard adopted Threads' version- that it's pretty difficult to make it look good in different scenarios- which means assuming we stick with :fediverse: the default for everyone else will probably end up being Meta's version

@tom ️ personally, if it's something that's off-putting to look at, use, and explain, I will do none of the three.
The current logo looks appealing to me, which makes it easy to use and then makes me want to explain it because it's interesting.
⁂ is not interesting in the slightest to me.

@BeAware I get that and I also don't particularly like ⁂ as the option. But the idea that we can't find some more useful logo because it'll confuse people when most people are unaware of the Fediverse's current branding seems off. If there's any time to debate the logo it'd be now before all these massive companies with hundreds of millions of users settle on a logo w/o the input of the open-source side of the fediverse.
I doubt Threads will ever move on from their version, but Flipboard has signaled they're willing to change out the logo they're using

@tom the issue is, it strips out the diversity and interconnectedness of the logo, which is the point of Fedi....

@BeAware which is absolutely a fair complaint! Like I said I don't like the current popular suggestion. But that's why it's the opportunity for people (who are significantly better at design than me) to debate the logo because I also don't like meta's version for the exact same reason and that's gonna be the one we end up with 5 years from now.
Hell, I'm sure there's a way to take the current fedi logo and modify it slightly so it does work in flipboard's (or tumblr or Ghost or whoever else joins in the near future) design language and I feel like it's an important discussion to have now before everyone just ends up with Meta's boring version.
