The #fediverse logo design challenge is still waiting for someone to collect the $1 million prize ;)
@pfefferle just pointed to a very nice old logo design.. the one of the Federated Social Web Summit:
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fediverse-logo-or-icon-proposal/1057/11
Maybe and brightness of current #logo can be combined with the more organic #design of this logo?
Fedi is grassroots and organic, after all, right? But also more vibrant and diverse, than a growing 'spore' that the matte green conveys.
@humanetech
Does #Fediverse not have an icon yet?! This must be solved.
The Fedilab icon is brilliant but it can't be too similar to that obviously.
The green one above is a bit too busy.
I am indeed using the other colorful logo for some time now, but apparently it is still a proposal, also stated as such on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
The other one is indeed quite busy, but I like the more organic feel, instead of very techical, rational balanced node grid.
In terms of topologies the current logo stands for 'fully connected', while #fediverse is much more of a 'mesh'.

@humanetech @dsfgs @pfefferle If I manage to find the time, I'll try a mash up 😉
@nestort
Here's a design.
If you have #I2P, its at http://sharefile.i2p/file/9c/9c42d5fa58ae734133e8de83a89e1bc6f1805c401303a677f3265542c99bb1f3/Fediverse_v01.png
The SHA256 is in the URL.
If you don't have I2P you may have luck accessing the image over the unreliable Cloudflare service. It doesn't seem to fetch the image.

As a Tor user we cannot #UploadImages.
If you are able to access the image, please upload it so others can more easily see it.
You might upload to https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fediverse-logo-or-icon-proposal/1057/12 if you have a #SocialHub account, then I can add here (I cannot access).
I can't see @dsfgs 's image. Anyway, I'm working on something here... One of the things I do not like from the orginal perfect pentagon is that it is too "tight", in the sense that it looks too rigid, and the #Fediverse is anything but rigid, and that's something I liked from @pfefferle 's suggestion. The central figure is my main idea, the others are copies and support material. It still needs work (so it looks OK on dark background, and monochrome)
I love 💖 the direction you're thinking in. The centre image gives me the appearance of a person figure (2 arms and legs), though that may be intended (with #fediverse being "The People's Web"), I like the abstract form in top-right better.
@nestort @dsfgs @pfefferle @drq @tallship @person @eylul
#fediverse note that there's also the search for a slogan to accompany the #logo #design ..
So far we have:
Fediverse: The People's Web
Fediverse: Social network, social
Fediverse: People. Social. United.
@humanetech @dsfgs @pfefferle @drq @tallship @person @eylul
All right, so here goes one idea in all its possible variations. Fist, color:
@nestort @humanetech @dsfgs @pfefferle @drq @tallship @person @eylul Is it possible to make the way the network is drawn so recognizable, that it would be possible to have an increasing number of nodes for larger versions?
>an increasing number of nodes for larger versions
Ooh, some kind of **fractal** pattern would be awesome-sauce! #YearOfTheFediverse
@VictorVenema @nestort @humanetech @dsfgs @pfefferle @drq @tallship @person @eylul
@VictorVenema
Have a look at the design we just retooted. Do you see a fractal?
@dsfgs @category_mirrory I do not want to be too much of a scientist, but I see two scales, rather than a scale free network.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale-free_network
@category_mirrory Exactly, with many nodes you could make wonderful (fractal) patterns. But the logo should also work when it is printed small. In the past you could only have one logo, but with this logo mostly being used on the web, one could generated them automatically at any size. @nestort @humanetech @dsfgs @pfefferle @drq @tallship @person @eylul
