Pixelfed logo variants, one of these will be the new logo ✨

@AmeliasBrain @dansup strong argument, I like both. The pixelation is subtle, though, needs a sharp eye and/or big screen.

@dansup I like the pixel one because it matches the name and the product.
Less keen on rainbow iris(es) that are to close tot the beach ball of death on macOS.

@dansup I’m in love with the first row

[sashin@veganism.social]

@dansup I like the second one from the second row.

@dansup Just so it doesn’t look like the chrome logo

@dansup This stands out most to me

[sunnythesheep@mastodon.social]

@akamran after all, I like the pixelated one the most, too.

@dansup ooo please have a selection people can choose from! I love the pink ones of the top row but it would be fun to see everyone have the ones they like best. Maybe a poll?

@dansup

I like the 2nd row flower one.

Proposal: watch them in greyscale and check, if they work as intended as well as colored.

[dunesec@mastodon.social]

@dansup From a designer's perspective, none of them are actually very good (technically speaking). Start from black and do colouring later. It should be legible as a favicon, as well as (already mentioned) near other social icons. A good logo needs to be able to work on different media; digital, print etc. I would suggest choosing a single colour as it makes creating a brand easier and more distinct. For me, these logos seem generic.
