Everyone, we need to spruce the place up, so we wanted to reach out to you all for submissions for the icon and banner. Here’s the idea: submit icons and banners (SFW please). I’ll leave this stickied for 72 hours, then we’ll pick the most popular of each by upvotes.
I couldn’t find specs on icon dimensions, but it appears icons are square and tend to look best at least 256 x 256. Banners tend to be…rectangularish. Here are three banner examples: ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 )
As always, let me know if you have questions.
Here’s a 512² icon:
If anyone wants the SVG file to edit it further, here’s a link.
The shark was stolen from a Reddit post and then manually redrawn by me.
That’s beautiful! Chef’s kiss mwah right there!
Well done!
This is my vote. This one’s quality.
the other one with the trans rings got more votes so we added that one :3 but would u like to use this one for the matrix community? (yeh we have one X3 I made it as an unofficial space for the other 196 months ago but I guess its the official oneninesix space now :3 I’ll make a post about it later)
Feel free to use it for the Matrix community if you want! Or this sub. Or… dunno, any space that you want, to your hearts’ contents :3
okie thank uuuuu! :3
Is the shark mascot somebody’s IP?
I don’t know. Perhaps Ikea’s? The whole mascot thing is because of the Ikea toy blue sharks.
Oh ok cool, as long as we don’t use the same name they gave it we should be guchi
The name of the mascot is blåhaj, that this instance (and the trans community in general) has been using for ages. I don’t think that it’s IP-able because it’s a plain word (it’s just the name for blue sharks in Swedish).
I might be completely wrong however, so don’t trust what I said at all, it’s just conjecture.
