I was looking around and found these two that I think look good.

I like the icon and the color because it stands out.

I also like this icon and the depth with the “shadow”.
Does anyone else have any recommendations?
I like the recommendations, but I think the logo should be less generic. I threw this together quite quickly, just wanted to get the idea out there:
Any feedback? It does look a bit off currently
I love this. I know the community without having to think. That’s the sign of a great icon.
I like this one too! So creative
This looks awesome!
Wow nice work! I would be happy with that one too.
If anything the face is just a little too high. I wouldn’t make the face perfectly centered because the eyes would be too low. Maybe bring it down the thickness, or half the thickness, of the black lines.
Thanks, that’s good advice. How about this one?
Colors aren’t final tho
I like the idea (and it’s very cute!), but it feels a little busy. I think that could be solved by simplifying the book shape, if you’re down to give that a shot (feel free to ignore me, ofc). Two suggestions to try, not sure if either will work:
- Get rid of the inner black line and the orange, and use a single black line down the middle for the crease instead. If the book shape isn’t strong enough at that point, you can always try thickening up the edge, or coloring the whole shape.
- Alternatively, remove the black outline (and the orange fill) entirely (apart from a center book crease), and just have the ears, nose, and whiskers (maybe also eyes?) be a different color. Let the book be the highest contrast shape, so it’s obvious.
EDIT: Ok, look, I was impatient to see what it could look like, so I did it myself. (I may have gotten a little carried away.)
@[email protected], YOU DID SO GOOD! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS.
Dayummmmmm! This is fire! Looks like you really know what you’re doing. Glad you liked the idea.
Edit: Did you recreate this from scratch?
Yay, glad you like the changes!
Did you recreate this from scratch?
I just traced over your version with vectors. Only changes I made were pointy book corners and slightly flatter ears on the sides (b/c I’m lazy). I’ll DM you the file to do with as you please.
Haha I guess my comment wasn’t worded very well. I meant to say to lower the icon a little bit. I honestly like both your versions but I think the mod might have decided to use the simple book one.

Oh, now I understand what you meant.
decided to use the simple book one
Yeah, the lemmy version is pretty crowded
I like the blue one.
If anyone has any recommendations, do let us know, otherwise will use that.
@[email protected] Any opinions?
Begone, Google!
I appreciate the desire to incorporate Lemmy, but like the simpler one best. It’s much cleaner at smaller sizes.
Just to be safe, that website says that it’s free to use as long as it’s attributed. So I’ll do that now.
