A figure raising a hand would be a very cool abstract form of the constellation of nodes!
But before we get to that, there’s a fierce discussion on the Fedi toot, about whether or not to just stick with what we already have (see root of thread). Ended inconclusive with a proposal in this toot by @eudaimon:
Maybe a good first step would be to launch a poll about the original logo, try to spread it as much as possible in the Fediverse to get the maximum number of opinions. If it looks people accept it, then there is probably no need to change it, even if we can think of “objectively better” options.
This is how I see the issue, at least…
What options could such a poll include? Is a Mastodon poll correctly handled in other softwares?
Note that, if we decide to stick with the current logo, the new design by @eudaimon (which I find personally more appealing) may be still be used, but for a particular fedi application (I am thinking for a fedi platform that can be used for many purposes, like e.g. @cjs Go-Fed, which I believe is still looking for one) if Eudaimon consents to that.
