Hello everyone,

This community is only a few hours old, and already there is a meta post ha ha.

I was just thinking that the EU flag doesn’t include non-EU countries such as Switzerland, the UK, Norway, Ukraine, Iceland, Albania, Georgia, etc.

Maybe a more “map-based” logo like this one could be considered too?

    Thank you for your comment!

    As a comparison, the way !yurop@lemm.ee icon looks:

    I guess the shape of the continent is unique enough to be distinguishable

      This is what that looks like in Photon (e.g. at https://p.feddit.org):

      And in the bottom bar, next to each other:

      (Granted, it’s a little unfair, since Photon in particular appears to scale the icons in a dumb way.)

        Seems reasonable on desktop, people are usually not having to look at the icon so much, they just want a way to quickly identify which community it is

        Mobile might be another story

          Ooh, thank you! Sorry for the way I worded it. Anyway: To me, it looks weirdly pixelated, as if either:

          • It doesn’t take into account high-PPI screens and scales the image file for a 96ppi screen and then the browser scales it up to display size or

          • It just takes a file with huge image resolution and the browser scales it down quickly on the fly.

          You can look at my screenshots.
