Since my last anti-war post (in the broad, global, universal sense; and narrow sense of our project) had been included some comments about the dove, I've created an orthodox version a'la Pablo Picasso from 1949 😁 Whoever wants it, can use it! (I must say in general that the OSM logo is outstanding in its universality - and this magnifying glass as a symbol of search - sweetness 🍯πŸ’ͺ ). @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml @openstreetmap

Some context on what the relationship between war and osm, and what the logo is for would be nice :)

@Cris_Color Think about last waves of vandalism & frequent "edit wars" in our community πŸ™‚

Ahhh, gotcha! I don't participate super actively so I wasn't aware, I assumed it had something to do with current events in Israel/Palestine or Ukraine

Thanks for filling me in ☺️
