TL;DR for anyone from Mander:

Small mander logo: in the bottom right quadrant, between the EU flag and Ramona Flowers. Seems like this one was done by @Sal@mander.xyz very early on in the event. Much later, near the end of the event, I just added the text above it.

Big Mander logo: check in the top half, near the center, to the right of the Swedish flag. Was planned out by yours truly (not knowing we already had the small logo), though @mookulator@lemmy.world / @mookulator@mander.xyz came by and helped out actually placing the pixels (thank you!). The outline/background around the text was done by various other users, including @Lumun@lemmy.zip , @verb@mander.xyz , and @angrath@mtgzone.com – thanks for coming by to help beautify our logo!

Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!

I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.

This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥

Future Events

I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!

I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

    Ah! Thanks!

    Then it is not something I’m familiar with. But it is nice.

      Yeah, it’s a game where you basically lead a spaceship through a succession of planets while trying to outrun an advancing enemy fleet and randomized events happen to the ship and its crew along the way, including friendly, neutral, and hostile encounters.

      The Mantis is one of multiple sentient alien species that can be part of your crew (and/or enemies who fight you).

      I thought it was appropriate that we had a mantis next to our logo. There was also the leaf that says “go vegan” but there wasn’t much else that would be close to our theme, and besides, this spot had enough space.
