Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Last week, I tried describing what I was thinking for a new logo for this community. Here's my attempt at showing what I was thinking. Yes, it's very amateurish and I would love for someone to make it better, but it shows my intent. Also, I think it's somewhat recognizable when shrunk down:
I'm still open to the idea of others creating a new icon, but if I don't get anything else I might use my mod powers to declare that by unanimous consent everyone agrees my half-assed icon is the best.
Not that my opinion counts but I’ve always hated the Lemmy mouse logo
That's fair, but it's the logo we've got to work with so I'm going to try incorporating it. Also, I don't know if there's any other unique image that would represent the cyberpunk genre without referencing specific works. I'm definitely open to suggestions though.
Nice work! I really like it.
The submissions by tri_poloski and Cloudless were pretty good too.
Maybe we can alternate or something.
I'll probably hold a vote and see which one wins. I want to give it a bit more time though. Maybe next weekend.
Looks great!
