In honor of !fuckcars, the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is the 3rd Sunday in November. Every year, approximately 1.3 million people (and untold numbers of pets and wildlife) are killed in traffic crashes.

How to visualize on the logo (two ways):

1. Crass but clear: tire tracks across a x.x face
2. Respectful but subtle: a bicycle helmet, a tear, and a vigil candle (bicycle riders are disproportionately victims of traffic violence, so the WDoR is often organized by bicycle clubs or traffic safety groups with a bicycle focus, plus there's no way to visually represent the other disproportionately-affected group: pedestrians).

The June 4th Tiananmen Square vigil, though banned since COVID and the NSL, was a HK tradition (and elsewhere of course, though most significantly in HK) that would be good to replicate here.

Day of the little candles! (Día de las velitas) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Little_Candles

It's a huge public holiday in Colombia, on December 7th.

Kanelbullens dag! Celebrated every 4th of october in Sweden (and Finland too)

Kanelbulle = special cinnabon buns.

Also, Semmeldagen/Fettisdagen

Rosenmontag is a German holiday that does not seem to be well-known in the rest of the world. Just put a Narrenkappe on Lemmy's head and you're good.

Chinese New Year might be another interesting one, but as I'm not exactly well-informed about its holiday customs and traditions, I'd like to leave design ideas to people who know more about it than me.

Little late to the party, but Matariki (Maori new year - ma - ta - ri - ki) would be nice to have. Little difficult to implement as its day changes each year, but its a holiday that has only recently come to the forefront in NZ after a century of being suppressed or ignored, and we have only had one public holiday of it since it started again. Late june/early July, usually a Friday.

Diwali/Deepavali is probably the most widely celebrated Indian festival and can be represented by some variation of an earthenware lamp 🪔 and fireworks

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.

Could we add holiday logos for the Dutch (and Belgian) holidays of Sinterklaas (December 5th and 6th), and perhaps Kings Day? (April 27th)

If I have some direction on the style I could perhaps Photoshop something together :)

Edit: Carnaval would be fun too, but that one might be tricky because it falls on a different day every year (and is also not consistent between countries, I don't think..)

Australia day is the 26 January.

Sorry for the late reply! There are some hungarian fellows here on Lemmy.world and we have 3 national holidays. Here are some suggestions what to implement and how:

March 15th: 1848-49 Revolution

You could integrate some of the main symbols of the revolution (such as the 12 points of the reformers or Hungarian cockade) in the logo.

Aug 20: Country was established by Saint Steven

This event is also mainly symbolized by the Hungarian cockade and flag but you could make the logo "wear" the Hungarian crown.

October 23: 1956 Revolution

In the 1956 revolution the communist coat of arms was cut out from the Hungarian flag, this became the main emblem of the revolution. You could add/decorate the logo with Molotov coctails and a mainly destroyed statue too. (or tanks idk (t34-85 t54))

1. Fasnacht Day - A Pennsylvania Dutch holiday on the day before Lent in which you use all your sugar, fat, and oil to make fasnachts (doughnuts) before fasting for Lent. Essentially a holiday for doughnuts. The images on Wikipedia are scuffed as hell and homemade fasnachts are really good. Maybe the Lemming (Lemmy?) could be in the shape of a doughnut.

2. Oilfield Prayer Day - Celebrated in Oklahoma on October 13 as a day for all faiths to "thank God for the blessings created by the oil and natural gas industry and to seek His wisdom and ask for protection” according to OK Governor Mary Fallin. Personally I celebrate by buying 10-20 gallons of gas and pouring it down the nearest storm drain to do my part for the oil industry. /s Set Lemmy on fire.

No-nut-november.

Sorry for the hijacking, but lemmy.world is pretty slow the past few days.
