Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Hey guys! So, following up my previous post about the Jerboa icon, I've made new logo as well. I think I will continue working on it, but for the meantime, that's how it looks.

I modified existing lemmy logo, couldn't get longer ears though, wouldn't look right or it would resemble rabbit too much. Added a little tail as well because Jerboas have a really long one, and it looks cute. Main inspiration was Apollo icon, it looks really neat. I think I would like to improve upon the background and maybe change color palette to be more bright, but I want to hear what you think.

The tail looks like the reddit logo antenna. Maybe make the head smaller and the tail longer in a shape of a j?

Agreed, that was my first thought as well. If I saw this with no context I'd assume it was a 3rd party reddit app, and if I looked further and saw it was for Lemmy I'd assume it's trying to be a reddit rip-off.

Will give it a thought, thanks!

Also the floof at the end of a jerboa's tail is long rather than round. I donno why that detail is bothering me. Otherwise I love this logo!

Looks great, I quite like it. But about the background, keep in mind that dynamic icons are now a thing - and the current logo supports it. So the background color won't necessarily be chosen by you, but by the Monet subsystem based on the user's wallpaper.
