FYI Developer specifically mentioned that Apollo-like icons would not be accepted

This is not the official icon submission thread. But I didn't know this.
See here: https://lemmy.world/post/1181356
Really like your design regardless! Nice work!
I hope that a talented designer will find a way to turn my idea into a logo that fits the developers' needs.
I would like to see a homage to Apollo.
Best idea so far, since it takes from Apollo for recognition's sake.
However, the logo is way too busy for the purpose it'll have: An App Icon. Logos in general are very minimized, and these details aren't readable at that minute scale.
I think somewhere, iterating off of this, would be the winner idea. At least, unless if someone wants to do something completely different off of the name, like a rocket ship or a boat, or something with a yellow disc like those ones the Voyager departed with.
I agree wholeheartedly. Whenever some is doing app design, I always tell them - just because the PNG submission recommendation is 1024x1024px, there’s only one time people will ever see it at that res (in the store); after that, it gets scaled down as small as 120x120 for Home Screen use (or 58x58 in settings).
There’s a reason boring, flat vector design wins - fast, universal legibility.
I don't think it's too busy at all. It looks great on my home screen.
created this icon with AI
You didn’t create anything. You told an AI how to create it.
My intention was to provide assistance or inspiration to others, as none of them had implemented this idea so far. It serves as an example of how AI can support creative thinking. Please keep in mind that I suck at drawing and I'm not planning to submit this icon (the developer himself asked for icons not associated with Apollo, which I didn’t know when I was creating this thread).
If you’re on iOS and want to use this as an icon here‘s how.
(I think I’ll just keep posting this under every icon proposal from now on)
Your profile-based shortcut asked for permission to open one of my banking apps. It was the step where you ask it to install the profile. I hope this is just some kind of mistake because I put in the wrong URL. What URL are you supposed to use? https://wefwef.app/settings/install ?
I think just https://wefwef.app (or better vger.app). But I didn’t make that shortcut and I kinda dislike having to install a profile for it. I tried it though and it worked for me.
I think the one I made is much cleaner as it’s just temporarily replacing the image URLs on the website before adding it.
Thanks, but for yours, I don’t get how you run a shortcut “on” a website.
Open the website, tap share and then scroll down, it should show up there somewhere: image
Awesome, thank you so much
I only knew that you could change the icon for apps (via shortcuts) but thank you very much!
The method you’re most likely talking about doesn’t work for web apps sadly. But for web apps this solution is indistinguishable from having the regular icon, which isn’t the case if you wanna use a different icon for a regular app
I’m living the dream! Thanks a lot.
Oooo I really like this! Super cute and a good nod to Apollo too!
Nice artwork! But you should render it in low res, like 128 x128, 64 x 64, and whatever the browser favicon size is. 32 x 32? Good logos have to work on shit rez.
Logo is amazing. Going to check out wefwef because of this post.
Absolutely adorable!
It’s so modern, clean, and kawaii
I like it 👍
Regardless of everything, whether it's too full of detail for an icon or approaching the style of Apollo's icons, I have to admit it's absolutely gorgeous! Good job!
This is an absolutely gorgeous icon great job OP! It really reminds me of an Apollo icon with a nice unique difference.
Best one I've seen yet. Wefwef really needs a new icon yesterday.
Looks great!
This one gets my vote.
I would use that in a heartbeat.
Reminds me of the latest FFXIV expansion!
I really like the logo. Looks awesome
Love it, as a Apollo user coming from Reddit I feel like in a new home.
I dunno but I really like this one.
I love it
This is CUTE! Would love to see you creating one for Jerboa of you intend to create for other apps. Hell, I might use this one for Jerboa tbh (if you'd allow me to do so, of course). Great icon!
Do whatever you want. As I mentioned in the thread I created it with AI. I tweaked it after that with Affinity until I was satisfied.
I’m not the creative genius, heck I really suck at drawing. But I had this idea struck in my head how the little astronaut passes his helmet to Lemmy.
I was so in love with the icon I completely missed the "made with AI" part hahaha. Doesn't take away from how good it looks though, and from your good taste in color and style choices.
I love it!
You might want to look at this on your phone at iPhone icons size. Some of the small details get a little lost at small scales.
So good!
So cute!! I love everything about this one… the colors, the details, and imo it looks the most like an actual lemming :)
This looks like a Loporitz. Call him Lemmyway.
Super cute! Exactly what I was picturing for the new name launch.
that's so adorable
It’s perfect! I love it!
This looks pretty nice.
In case If you are taking some feedback for improvement may I suggest Ear gradient color looks bit off may be use flat color there too or subtle gradient since you are using flat color on most part and the spark shape could have less angle/corner. But as a designer if you are satisfied with it I am with you.
This one is nice, hope it goes through
I love it. How did you get it to look so retro? It reminds me of graphics on old VHS covers.
I have already mentioned it in the thread, I’ve used AI to create this icon. I’ve tested several different AI engines and had to rewrite my idea several times.
In the end I’ve used the Apollo logo to heavily influence the outcome (because most of the descriptions led to weird looking antennas and even helmets were slightly off).
