Help us get a new LemmyNZ logo! (lemmy.nz)

Way back at the beginning, when genAI was new and LemmyNZ had but one user, our logo was created. It's terrible, it's AI generated, and I hate it.

I am keen to get a new one! There's also an option to get a new banner if that's what people want, though people have expressed that they like the current banner.

lemmyNZ banner - the famous Laser kiwi flag that was submitted to the flag competition when NZ tried to change it's flag. It's black with a silver fern at top left, and a kiwi shape on the bottom right with a green laser coming out of it's eyes down to just above the bottom left corner of the flag

This post is to ask for people to supply their ideas for a new logo or banner. Hopefully there are some artists out there that can help! After we have some options I will organise a vote.

I asked some artists and got lukewarm responses

Are there any requirements? Image aspect ratio, general content guidelines, number of penisus allowed, etc?

Thanks for asking the artists anyway!

It's the image at the top left of the website. I think the aspect ratio needs to be 1:1, it seems to have rounded corners when displayed but a circle might look better. Really we just want something to go up in that corner. Sometimes apps will show it as a circle so perhaps rather than a circle we might want something that looks ok displayed as a rounded rectangle and when cut to a circle shape.

I guess for content, something that represents us and that people would vote for. And I guess we would need to be allowed to use it, i.e. we can't use a pepsi logo or anything. Something custom made with permission to use it, or public domain.

I don't know that there would be a minimum or maximum number of peni allowed but I would think avoiding NSFW would be a good idea.
