I thought it might be fun to have the community icons lean into the beehive theming, so I made some mock-ups as a proof of concept of how they could look. I also made a logo with a more simplified bee and more of a cowboy motif

These are really cute! ๐Ÿ’œ

These are great! Would make it easier to spot Beehaw communities among the others when I look through Subscribed or All from time to time.

I might spend a little bit of time and play around with the site's styling, see if we can make it match the icons a bit. Have an even more cohesive design.

Please feel free to shoot me a DM if you want help with the styling. I'm not exactly an expert at coding, but I'd be happy to help where I can

I really like the honeycomb idea for the icons, nice thinking!

[โ€“] UrLogicFails@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

Obviously, something like this wouldn't be feasible on instances where everyone can make their own communities; but since Beehaw only has ~30 communities, I thought the honeycomb theming might be nice to implement

[โ€“] Moneymunkie@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

Woah these look really nice! They feel like they "pop" better and more visually distinguish it being a beehaw community as well!

These are wonderful! I really like the theming :)

I love the design so much! They look so cute!

[โ€“] thegiddystitcher@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

They look great! Love the idea of a unified theme ๐Ÿ

These look awesome! They're really cute, the honey comb theme is great, and all the icons are so clear. I'd love to have an easy visual theme like this. And with ~~instances~~ communities not being created willy nilly like I'm noticing on some other instances I think(?), it's easy to keep up and make more of too.

These are incredible!

I really love this idea! As long as all the images fit tidy inside their cells (side-eyes finance) I think we should do this

[โ€“] WestonHawk@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I think these are awesome!

[โ€“] Lycan@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I love these! You did a great job with them. The honeycomb shape is particularly pleasant to look at.

These are so perfect! Clear and distinctive. Great idea. You do excellent work!
