I love the server but I still don’t like the icon. Here are my submissions for possible alternatives:
I agree the current icon isn’t great but I’m also not a fan of any of your suggestions since none of them include the Lemmy “mascot”.
I gotchu fam
I actually really like the last one, with the vague globe and trees, and I think it would work for the page header and other places where you can see it clearly, but I think the two more cartoonish ones would stand up better to being shrunk down to the browser’s tab bar. Of those two I like #3 better than #1.
Okay, last one before I actually get back to work: 🙂
Cropped and zoomed so it works as an icon with the mascot still discernable, and looks nice when the server masks it into a circular shape, but you can still see the curvature so that the “world” theme is faintly present.
Oh I really like the first one! It’s simple enough it wouldn’t look weird when made into a small logo.
Very nice.
This is more like it. 3 & 6 are nice
My fav is #3. Simple enough that you can decipher it in a small format while clearly communicating what it is.
Number 3 and 7 are both great. 👍
1, 3, and 7 are the best. Did you make them yourself, or are they AI-generated?
All 100% AI generated; if I made them myself they’d look like lumpy stick figures. 🙂
Still looks great, nice one!
I really like the first one, it has quite a playful feeling to it.
Some quick stuff I put together roughly based on these:
(Maybe wanted the ears in the circles, but scrapped these up real quick, so yk 🤷♂️)
Yah I like these too. I like my world icons enough that I feel like maybe the official Lemmy graphic over one of my worlds would be nice, but also, I’m not sure if there’s even interest on @Ruud 's part for any of this. So IDK how much more time to invest in it.
Also, I just like using AI to make icons; it’s enjoyable for me. 🙂
I do like the idea of a globe icon. Ruud seems to like matching his instance of Mastodon’s icon.
It’s 100% up to him, I think, but to me these ones look nice.
I noticed you oriented the icon with the northern hemisphere on top.

Just the first thing I thought of ;-)
I really like #4 and #6. I could see using one of those with the LW superimposed on top of the globe.
Okay, last iteration:
aww cute, i like these
