We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.
You must log in or register to comment.
It looks like a bunch of snowflakes or a trip of buttholes.
No thanks.
The icon created by meta gives me shivers…
I know why you did it so fast and why you choose ⁂, it’s already present and works as expected and probably to overcome meta’s implication into the fediverse…
However, every symbol didn’t exist at first and became popular on it’s own because it defended something people found important and fought for (Like the peace symbol)!
Maybe create our own symbol and let it make enough noise so it becomes it’s own symbol?
Sorry if it isn’t clear what I mean by that :/
I think many people share your sentiment and have argued the same point in other threads
Wait…this symbol already existed? What was it used to represent?
It’s in Unicode, duh… Otherwise, you’d need an image to represent it.
It looks like the state farm logo to me in small text.
As several people have already pointed out on the other thread, we already have a well-established fediverse logo:
This logo is really unpopular hence why there is always so much talk of making something cleaner and more professional.
First I’ve heard of it being unpopular, what’s unclean or unprofessional about it?
your mother?
3 cat buttholes. I love it.
There is a hidden 4th.
You had to say it.
It’s buttholes all the way down
Looks like 5 to me
Or we could use a combination of letters, sometimes referred to as a word, to represent it.
Is it like that because we’re a bunch of snowflakes?
My first thought.
About the current “pentagram” symbol:
However, its design is a little too complex to be used at small sizes, as you would in text or in a button. It’s also only available in image form, not as a typographical character.
We’ve used it as a tiny icon below posts from other instances and I’ve never found it problematic. I think it’s already too well established to replace just because we can’t type it. Besides, the three stars feel to me not distinct enough. Pushing Unicode Consortium to add it to the standard when the time comes is a batter way.
I do think however that it would be worth coming up with a proper name for the current symbol.

The Fedigram maybe?
What else!? 🏅
Instead of changing the symbol, we can ask the unicode committee to put the current fediverse symbol in the unicode.
That’s what I said
I shouldn’t comment just after waking up.
You definitely should! Lmao
Three disconnected centralized serevrs? Ok.
They have several lines coming out. Those could be connections
Connections to users?
To other servers
So 3 disconnected clusters of servers
The lines in the image are connected, but this is also the dumbest internet argument I’ve had this month, so goodbye.
Wow. Hilarious.
Asterisks aren’t conmected.
I quite like how *some* of the arms of the stars touch but not all. The older pentagram gives the impression that everything can connect to everything which has been hard to live up to.
But the ship has sailed and the pentagram has become well established.
No

I think the current logo would work fine as a unicode character. I dislike the three anuses for a logo.
Let our motto be:
Anus together strong.
Dude, it’s less clear than the existing symbol. Stop trying to push this.
