Now Fediverse Memes is the top community on feddit.uk (it only took three weeks from its creation) it needs a bit of fancying up, so we are looking for suggestions for a banner and icon. Post your ideas below, upvote what you like and we'll use the best ones.

And this won't be set in stone, we can revisit it later on.

edit: added a few to "prime the pump" now have at it!

Icon could just be the girl's face, although they didn't be a matching set.

Whenever I see this one, I cannot help but think of my favorite gif, which is not even a meme:

Edit: and while I am at it, the favorite gif of a friend too:

There's the classic (which also has the benefit of being low effort):

What size does it need to be?

I would do something with the butterfly from the "is this X" meme.

Maybe just the butterfly, with "FM" in white/black IMPACT font as a good meme

What size does it need to be?

It'd be handy if the banner was wider than it is high. We may be able to tweak some templates to better fit.

The icon is usually square and smaller.

I think this would make a good banner:

A few ideas from a quick browse and a coffee:

One of the ducks from Lemmy draws a duck

This guy's face? 1000008736

A lemming? Look at this little guy's face 1000008737

And another one, more for a banner 1000008738

Already did it here for a logo. It's Meta's logo of the Fediverse... erm, well, almost.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Good stuff - I may be missing the context, what is Meta's Fediverse logo?

Ahhh cool. I like it. We can probably give it a tweak (perhaps add the Fediverse rainbow of colours, or just say, red, blue, green, purple to the four elements. Maybe, as it's essentially now a smiley, we could change one "eye" to a dash so it is giving a cheeky wink?) but yes, we can definitely work with that and I love the idea of subverting a corporate logo.

[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why would you want to legitimize Meta's attempt at appropriating the Fediverse by paying homage to their logo?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I see it more as subverting a corporate logo. Not suitable for more serious discussion but for a meme community...

[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

IMHO it risks making (new) people think that it's the official logo that you've parodied and creating that association in their mind.

[–] Kierunkowy74@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago

Indeed, the logo of a meme community is the best source of an official logo. :)

[–] Kierunkowy74@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago

Maybe a screenshot of obviously wrong take on the Fediverse as a banner?
