The Fediverse name and logo are fine. Leave it alone. Changes to brands only serves to confuse the unknowledgeable. Let’s not do that.

Thanks.

    @BeAware@social.beaware.live I get that and I also don’t particularly like ⁂ as the option. But the idea that we can’t find some more useful logo because it’ll confuse people when most people are unaware of the Fediverse’s current branding seems off. If there’s any time to debate the logo it’d be now before all these massive companies with hundreds of millions of users settle on a logo w/o the input of the open-source side of the fediverse.

    I doubt Threads will ever move on from their version, but Flipboard has signaled they’re willing to change out the logo they’re using

        @BeAware@social.beaware.live which is absolutely a fair complaint! Like I said I don’t like the current popular suggestion. But that’s why it’s the opportunity for people (who are significantly better at design than me) to debate the logo because I also don’t like meta’s version for the exact same reason and that’s gonna be the one we end up with 5 years from now.

        Hell, I’m sure there’s a way to take the current fedi logo and modify it slightly so it does work in flipboard’s (or tumblr or Ghost or whoever else joins in the near future) design language and I feel like it’s an important discussion to have now before everyone just ends up with Meta’s boring version.
