EDIT: NOW CLOSED! Thank you to everyone that entered! đź’™

As part of the v1 launch, I’m hoping to adopt a new community-driven app icon! 🥰 As promised, here is the thread for your submissions! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!

NOTE: Please only post finalized submissions here! If you would like to workshop your submission with the community, feel free to make a separate thread. :)

What do I win??

wefwef *ahem* Voyager is a free and open source project, so there isn't a cash prize or anything. But, credit to you will be officially in the app settings and the Github repo readme!

Submission deadline

Submissions accepted NOW through July 16th, 10pm CT (depending on submission volume, may be extended).

Selection process

I will lock the thread after the submission window and nominate 3 icons (see below tips for what I’m looking for). I’ll take into account votes and comments from people. :) If there are very few submissions, I may extend the window to submit. Shortly after, I’ll create another thread for the community to vote to choose one of the final three!

Tips

  • I encourage you to make the app icon FUN and colorful! Give the app a soul that reflects the community driven nature of Lemmy and the greater Fediverse. Icons using the display-p3 colorspace are encouraged. I love how an interconnected rainbow represents the Fediverse, and I’d love to see your personal artistic style :)
  • I am purposely allowing raster icons for this contest, because I think too many app icons look bland, generic and… well… corporate vector bleh. I love the fun style of these Fediverse illustrations by David Revoy: https://framablog.org/2022/12/08/framasoft-2022-a-casserole-cooked-up-thanks-to-you-thanks-to-your-donations/?print=print

One last icon :p

My lack of design experience is showing here but I enjoyed having a go, maybe my idea could inspire other people with more artistic talent! Basically just wanted to tie in the fediverse logo.

These were all made with Midjourney. I prompted it with voyager space probe, satellite, radio telescope, other things of that nature.

Really like the first one. Maybe it’s a bit too detailed for an icon though? Regarding AI/no AI, I think the most important is that it’s a good looking icon, who cares how it was made. But that’s just me.

I love the first and third ones but I can understand why some people would be against the AI route

My goal was to somehow work a lemming into the aesthetic of space exploration with big, bold elements that can easily be modified or recolored for special occasions. Nothing seemed to click until I saw a certain lemming photo and realized it was a great opportunity for a "once you see it, you can't unsee it" nod to our Lemmy mascot. (Let me know if you guessed what it is before viewing the photo!)

Very clean, love the space theme. Reminds me of Star Trek.

I’m not a designer or anything, doing this for fun. Found a few royalty free images and thought of this. Let me know how it is. I have only one submission… Hope you guys like it! Any feedback is welcome :)

I thought it might be fun to try to incorporate the 5 colors of the Fediverse icon for the background of the icon and have the logo standout by using white to contrast against the background. I also wanted to incorporate a space theme and feature Saturn and Jupiter since they were highlighted by the original Voyager 1 probe.

I also don't have an iPhone, so I couldn't 100% simulate its look as an iPhone app icon, but I did my best to simulate it on my Android background.
