Would a burning maple leaf, with smoke "particles" (pixels) spreading over the canvas (politely, not defacing) be too poignant?

Maple leaf, smoking a joint, exhaling over the states

@Undearius@lemmy.ca did a design in a previous year, and it might be fun to build on that:

This is what it looked like at the end in 2024:

Once people have an idea of what we want to do, we can add it to the CoTemplate. If we decide to relocate from our current location (as our current spot is quite small), the lemmy.nz area looks nice right now :)

The cotemplate site has a button near the top where you can copy the image link, and then paste it in the template field on Canvas (be sure to set the x and y offsets to 0). Then everyone knows exactly where to place pixels (or not 🪿)

Hello friends, I'm slowly working on adding a french flag (and potentially the francophonie logo on the white part) above the Canadian one you have on the bottom left of the canvas, hope that's okay!

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Someone added a cool 3D effect to our flag, so I thought I'd add it to the other large flags too. I hope that's ok, I am happy to revert it :)

[-] inlandempire@jlai.lu 2 points 2 months ago

all good! im doing the "light" edges currently 🤗

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Hmm, I'm not sure what colour would work best on the top of the left side. I'll start on the other flags in the meantime, what do you prefer?

[-] inlandempire@jlai.lu 2 points 2 months ago

I'll try the same blue as the pony leg

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I think that works, from a distance it still looks like two separate things

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Oh nice, many cursors make light work 😄

[-] inlandempire@jlai.lu 2 points 2 months ago

Good luck with that light blue problem LOL

Happy to have led the charge making the Canadian flag in the bottom left quadrant. Was the first thing I thought of adding. :) My maple leaf pixel art could probably use some work though lol

It's hard to do a maple leaf at a small scale 😄

[-] longwew@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

maple leaf needs to be bigger

I'm amazed my little floater animation from Conway's game of life survived. Solarpunks are nice 😁

Wow, it's so full and colourful :)

Nice job everyone!
