New icon for lemmy.world?

I really enjoy lemmy.world and lemmy in general. And this is obviously not that important compared to increased server loads.

But am I the only one that finds current icon a little bit dated?

More flat design I think could look better.

AI is very confused by my request and I'm not sure it actually knows what a lemming is.

While it's better than the old one, the new logo has some issues, IMO.

The main one is that it's too complicated - with a logo that is meant to be viewed small, the simpler the better.

I would suggest using either the lemmy head or the LW text, but not both together. Hell even something super simple, like this, would work well.

A few communities I'm in have been going with the theme of lemmings dressed up or doing something related to the subject matter. So how do we do that for a whole world?

A world actually made out of lemmings sounds far too gross.

Edit: Maybe he's holding up the globe, Atlas-style? 🤔

nooo, the icon was one of the things that drew me to .world

i don't know whether it's original or taken from somewhere, but it's so glossy and nice

flat design has always been boring, but it's starting to become unfashionable as well

Suggestion: Globe in the center and a circle of lemmings (like from the classical game) holding hands all along the circumference?

It does look a little dated but I kind of like it that way. Reminds me of "the good old days"™

Idk, I think flat design is for the big corporate entities who want to alienate the design as much as possible (windows icon became only 4 one-color rectangle for example). It's not a problem if you are different from the flat-designers. Just be creative.

Flat design in my opinion would make this instance stand out less, I really enjoy the current icon, it has charm to it.
