EDIT: NOW CLOSED! Thank you to everyone that entered! đź’™
As part of the v1 launch, I’m hoping to adopt a new community-driven app icon! 🥰 As promised, here is the thread for your submissions! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
NOTE: Please only post finalized submissions here! If you would like to workshop your submission with the community, feel free to make a separate thread. :)
What do I win??
wefwef *ahem* Voyager is a free and open source project, so there isn't a cash prize or anything. But, credit to you will be officially in the app settings and the Github repo readme!
Submission deadline
Submissions accepted NOW through July 16th, 10pm CT (depending on submission volume, may be extended).
Selection process
I will lock the thread after the submission window and nominate 3 icons (see below tips for what I’m looking for). I’ll take into account votes and comments from people. :) If there are very few submissions, I may extend the window to submit. Shortly after, I’ll create another thread for the community to vote to choose one of the final three!
Tips
- I encourage you to make the app icon FUN and colorful! Give the app a soul that reflects the community driven nature of Lemmy and the greater Fediverse. Icons using the display-p3 colorspace are encouraged. I love how an interconnected rainbow represents the Fediverse, and I’d love to see your personal artistic style :)
- I am purposely allowing raster icons for this contest, because I think too many app icons look bland, generic and… well… corporate vector bleh. I love the fun style of these Fediverse illustrations by David Revoy: https://framablog.org/2022/12/08/framasoft-2022-a-casserole-cooked-up-thanks-to-you-thanks-to-your-donations/?print=print
Rules
Edited 2am CT Jul 10: Added rule against AI generated artwork
- 3 submissions max per artist
- 🆕 No AI generated art, please
- Please, no submissions resembling the Apollo icon (sorry!) to respect Apollo’s app icon branding
- For each submission, required assets:
- (For contest submission)
- Single 512x512 square PNG designed for iOS should be in your comment. (If you have an iOS device, I recommend this site to test)
- Optional sentence or two explaining your icon
- (Upon being selected)
- 1024x1024 PNG or SVG iOS app icon.
- 1024x1024 PNG or SVG “maskable” variant for Android app icon. Tips here: https://web.dev/maskable-icon
- BONUS/OPTIONAL Splash screen image - Design a full screen app launch screen that is maskable to fit various device aspect ratios. This is totally optional.
- (For contest submission)
- Your work should be licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, or less restrictive. :)
These are some variations on the previously posted space lemming/mouse:
Calm universe (previously posted) | High res, no mask
Lively universe | High res, no mask
Colourful universe | High res, no mask
Also, if you want to customise your Home Screen icon on iOS (for this or any of the other submissions), grab the high res image link and follow these instructions on how to do that.
Wow, gimme that LSD fever dream of third icon! Colourful and unique, and I love the wide opened eyes
all of them look great i think, i think the first one looks best
@aeharding@lemmy.world is it okay to have some hints at apollo?
These are great! can you change the style of the eyes to not bear resemblance to Apollo? That’s my only concern.
Made some adjustments. I find eyes super tricky, not 100% happy with them but the best I could come up with
I'd probably go with the second one. The last one looks definitely a bit LSD-induced ^^
