Hello everyone!

You may have noticed that Eternity’s icon could use a bit of a facelift (I just hacked it together to have something). Well, it’s time for a change and I’d like to get all you talented folks involved!

So, I want to host a competition where you can submit your designs for a new app icon. Once we have all the submissions, we can vote as a community to pick our new icon!

Some details to keep in mind:

Deadline: I’ll be accepting submissions until the 8th of September, 2023, 18:00 CET. I might extend this deadline if we have too few submissions.

Format: Submissions should be in SVG or PNG format, with a 1:1 aspect ratio.

Resolution: Please ensure your design is at least 512x512 pixels if you’re going with PNG.

Monochrome Version (Optional): It’d be great to see a monochrome version of your design too (for Material You icons).

Design: Your design should be colorful, fun, and engaging. The original UFO spaceship could be a source of inspiration, or elements of the fediverse or Lemmy. Of course, if you’ve got another creative idea, go wild!

Once the submissions close, we’ll have a public vote to pick the winner (similar to what we did with the app name).

Thanks in advance for participating.

Happy designing!

    Just a point of consideration for those submitting ideas… Make sure you zoom way out on your icon and look at how it will appear when sized for a phone.

    IMO that’s the biggest issue with the current icon - I just can’t tell wtf it is when it’s like 1/4” square.

    Not a criticism, just something that’s easy to lose sight of when you’re working at a computer.

      I’ve only just realised the icon isn’t actually a mole.
