LW Holiday Logos (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by lwCET@lemmy.world to c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
 

Hello World,

You may have seen the LW holiday themed logos we have used for Halloween and Thanksgiving. LW's users represent many countries around the world and we want to celebrate holidays and other special days that are local to you, but our team is fairly small and we aren't aware of a lot of the local customs out there. So we're asking you what you would like to see represented in a LW themed logo. What are some holidays/special days in your area and how do you celebrate them? And not just major holidays, we would like to celebrate festivals, days of remembrance, and other special days.

Please, comment below your suggestions and ideas on how we could represent them in the LW logo.

EDIT: Mostly looking for events throughout the year. What's left of 2023 is already in work. Thanks!

Natal Day, the first Monday of August to celebrate Nova Scotia. Pay no mind to those other provinces' celebrations on the same day.

*edited for spelling + corrected date.

Thank you, can you give me some details on this. Looking it up shows Aug 5, 2024 also.

Sorry, it was the 7th last year. I forgot it falls on the first Monday of August each year.

It's a civic holiday that celebrates the founding of Halifax and Dartmouth, but all of Nova Scotia now celebrates it as a civic holiday. Most provinces have their own version falling on the same day, but as a Nova Scotian, I'm biased. The Nova Scotia flag or our tartan patterned onto the Lemmy symbol would be a way to go. The bluenose, and Peggy's Cove lighthouse are also well known icons, but probably harder to incorporate. You could also go with a blue nose, as we're known as Blue Nosers (named after a potato), but that might be confusing.

Awesome, thanks so much for the detail. Added to the list.
