hey folks, quick update to say you've probably noticed our new community icons.

these icons were lovingly crafted by @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org, who posted them a couple of days ago over in Creative. we took notice of them and obviously--because they're our community icons now--really, really liked them.

thanks to his generosity in working things out with us, we're pleased to announce we can use his icons under a Creative Commons license for the site! until further notice they'll be our site icons, with credit to him on our sidebars. we'll also be adding attribution to the community sidebars over the rest of day as time permits.

we're also pleased to report that, thanks to your generosity, we've been able to reasonably compensate him for all 33 of the icons he's made for the community! the agreed to rate is $5 per icon, for a total of $165 that's been paid out to him as of today. this expense has been reflected on our Open Collective. (we've also agreed to, as possible, commission him for any future community icons until further notice, which will be subject to that same rate.)

hopefully you enjoy the new icons, and please thank UrLogicFails for the work here! thanks for using the site again folks!

Thank you @alyaza@beehaw.org and the rest of the Beehaw admin team. You all have been so welcoming (not just to me, but to everyone), and I look forward to working with you more in the future!

I love the icons! Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for future new communities.

Love the style!

Now how do we integrate a hive into the iconography?!? ;)

[–] UrLogicFails@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like there's genuinely a lot of room to play with bee iconography including the hive, the honey comb, honey dipper, and of course the bees themselves.

I don't know how all of the iconography will come into play, but I'm definitely excited by the possibilities

Don't forget the boots, spurs, and hats!

The icons are great! The honeycomb shape is really cool, I love it
