This community currently has a banner and icon generated by AI. That's all well and good, and I like the amorphous blob of neon skyscrapers used in the banner. But I don't like the icon. My problem is that when you shrink the icon down to the size used in all apps, those two orange neon signs end up looking like flippers on a neon pinball table to me.
Unfortunately, I'm not artistic enough to make an icon on my own. So I thought maybe I could open this up to the community and see if any of you are artistic enough to make one for me. Or competent enough in photoshop to throw something together. Or maybe you can give more direct AI prompts to make something specific for this community.
I'm open to any designs you think might work, but my idea was to take the Lemmy logo and add like a pink or green mohawk on top and futuristic visor covering the eyes. Something that'd be both "cyber" and "punk" but hopefully distinctive enough to still be recognizable when shrunk down to icon size. And I'd rather avoid any references to specific cyberpunk works since this is a community for the cyberpunk genre in general, not a Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell community.
One last thing. I didn't want to make this a separate post but I'll be on vacation all next week. I know no one really cares, but I've been trying to post something every day and if a week goes by with no new posts, I don't want anyone to think I disappeared or gave up on this community. I'll be back next week with more random nonsense to post each day. EDIT: (I'm back from vacation now)
