I'm not a designer myself, but I thought it would be cool to have a design contest where people could voluntarily propose new visual elements for lemmy.world like a new logo, new icons for "main" communities, default avatar for people without avatars etc...

Might be too early for CSS changes though as I understand that Lemmy's web UI is still changing?

I had this shower-thought the other day for a Lemmy feature: user avatars should sit inside a donut shaped "instance avatar". Like many (most?) people, I'm new here but I'm already seeing that instances are a larger macro-community so having that extra bit of identity makes sense to me.

I'm not a graphic designer but the idea of visually playing your own avatar off on your instance's avatar sounds fun.

Just something I remembered while reading "visual identity" in the title.
