This community needs an icon and a banner! Thoughts on the lovely chicago flag for the icon? Or maybe something more square

Use the y symbol!

Edit:

Updated, thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe use the bean, since people on lemmy are known for upvoting a can of beans

Wait a second. Is there a celebrity in our midst?

Ummmmm.. "celebrity" isn't the right word... I would think someone "vaguely familiar" would be more appropriate

I couldn't have agreed more so I reached out to Seahorse and asked them add me as a mod so I could make some changes despite Simsym being absent. I opted to use the municipal device for the icon as DownHomeChunk suggested (its niche and different) and used the theater sign for the banner like r/chicago has (open to alternatives though!)

Awesome!!! We've got ourselves a community now!
