These are my takes on alternate Sync logos for Lemmy (I made that rat from a while ago)
The logo for Sync is so tied to Reddit for me personally, that it was hard to think of ways to translate it to Lemmy (or the Fediverse overall).
Orange and Blue are signature colours for Reddit, but Lemmy doesnt necessarily have a colour scheme. Nor should it. that’s up to the instance operators to choose, making their community unique.
I also like the general Fediverse pentagon logo, but it can look quite busy…
I did what I could. I’m an average designer at best ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Why not just keep the original one? There’s no reason for people to keep the Reddit app installed anymore
It’s about the symbolism of the color change, the fresh start
Middle middle or middle left. Still has the Sync vibe with a new spin.
Same.
Either just swapped color and the same shape. (Middle left)
Or those bit distinct triangles remind me the ears of the lemmy logo. (Middle middle)
These look really great. Well done on iterating while still keeping the “sync feel”. I think the default logo should stay the reversed colours of the sync for Reddit logo but I would love to see some of these as alternate icons!
Only little note is that the bottom left should have 1 more purple leg (the one going straight up should be purple).
Re: your note, your change would make it the same as the middle. I think it’s meant to show overlap with the green being the first layer.
I’m really not sure how I missed that. I’ll leave my original comment as is but you’re definitely right.
Middle middle. Simple and elegant. The fediverse looks great but might be a pain. If it isn’t, I say bottom right.
That bottom row really gives Google vibes… Except the last one, that’s a dude walking.
what the fuck is up denny’s
I just watched that, probably the best fucking video ever.
Middle left or middle right.
I like the middle left and bottom right.
Now I can’t unsee it after someone says it looks like a guy walking
Bottom right is cool in a vacuum, but there’s like… a shade of swastika to it? I dunno, maybe that’s just extremely online of me, but I’d be a little hesitant on it for that reason as compared to middle bottom.
The one that strikes my fancy the most is middle right, maybe just because it reminds me a little bit of Strava. Maybe the Fediverse colors could be applied to that one in some way, maybe teal and blue on top, red and orange on bottom, and purple as a fill? Or blue and purple on top with teal as a fill. In my head that looks cool, but in practice it might look like total ass. Worth trying anyway imo.
Yeah, hard swastika vibes on bottom right. Some groups use a different count of legs to look similar but also avoid laws against it.
Mid left bro
Rat is top option. Any from the middle row, but I’m partial to the center one
Burn the bottom row.
Middle left, if it’s to similar with just the color change then go middle right. Middle right has a clean simple look and good symmetry.
Use the original logo but swap colors or make them negative as a symbolism that Lemmy is the opposite of Reddit.
middle right or bottom left. the other 2 bottom ones give off some old germany vibes of not happy times
This Nazi Party rebranding is not going well
Emphasise the Party part? (Nazi Party Party! - Party?)
The pentagon ones look very cool.
But the og logo looks great enough imo and is iconic already.
Oh no! Your arm!!! 😱😱 here you go: \
Middle all the way down
