#introduction

Who me? Just a #Maker, IT Consultant and "all-around-#nerd".

I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons, original #StarTrek re-runs, reading #Fantasy & #SciFi (not SyFy), lots of #Lego and eventually graduated to #RPG and #tabletop gaming. 

My first computer was a #Commodore Vic-20 - at school, we learned graphical #LOGO on PETS and Apple IIe's... crashed the Unisys ICON network often before getting my first PC - grudgingly - really wanted an #Amiga.

Eventually, it was time for college - I *thought* I would be heavily involved in the physical aspects of technology, circuit design, and hardware engineering - instead, I gravitated to #programming.

My first professional #programming language was #VisualBasic 1.0; eventually, jumping into Borland #Delphi 1.0 and #ObjectPascal - still dabble with #FreePascal #Lazarus, a smidge of #Java, a lot of #CSharp and some #Python. My #JavaScript is ancient...

I have tried to recreate the candidate #Fediverse #logo in a “clean”, hand-coded #SVG (definitions for the nodes, sides and connectors, and then using them placing them on a pentagon by rototranslations, assigning colors according to the original one I found on Wiki

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal.svg

I still have to do some tuning to ensure that it matches the original one that appears to be machine-generated with all sorts of decimals all around, but I think I'm already close.

#Fedify started out exclusively for #Deno, but now also supports #Node.js and #Bun. However, the #logo we created in the early days still features the character from Deno. Should Fedify change its logo now?

I'm going to give away my secret, publicly, for the first time.

If you want a symbol that can (possibly) be used in a domain name, this is a good starting point. Many of these will still not render in address bars however, especially those that are Latin look-alikes, so a lot of trial and error is required.

So I tried making a Fediverse logo! :gutkato_kontenta:

Most people seem to be using the rainbow-coloured pentagram (by Eukombos & al.), which I like well enough myself, but since I read somewhere that it looked a bit busy, I tried making something simpler yet familiar. Instead of different nodes, I put the colours in different spaces/communities formed between the interacting nodes; sorta inspired by the origami boat logo (by DSFGS).

I don’t think the result is particularly striking or much improved, but since I already made it, here it is anyway! Hereby dedicated to the public domain using CC0. I’ve put together a comparison with some pre-existing logos, too; which ones do you like the best? :gutkato_flucerba:

Two weeks ago, I saw this really cool Firefox-based browser called Zen. The UI is fantastic to use, but the logo could use some work. It seemed like a fun challenge to tackle.

So I worked with the developer & community on some ideas, and this is what we came up with!

As a cherry on the top, I've added some animation to showcase the logo even better. :)

"A lot of people think that the pentacle was chosen because of its occult or satanic connotations. And while it would be in Fediverse's rebellious spirit, this was not the case."
