SO YOU'VE GOT to put a #Peertube channel link on your super snazzy site tomorrow.
Which one would you choose?
This is not a poll, we are interested in feedback on the below four main options pictured. What you like, what you don't, and ways to improve the options for #webDevelopers who embrace #fediverse. As such, all critical COMMENTS and BOOSTS will help the community.

@dsfgs Remember, this isn't about what icon they *like* it's about which one gives them the clearest indication of what it does, otherwise it won't be used.
I have a feeling that this would be the wide, red color in the bottom left quadrant, mainly because it's the most similar to the dominant platform.
That said every audience is different with their own niche culture set of associations, thus why #UX testing is important.
@Blort
Yes, design can be quite nuanced. It's really why we couldn't decide which colour was better and wanted people's unbiased opinions.
The red icon offers a familiar experience, and then they will be transported to the wonderous world of freedom-respecting software. Maybe it is best to transtion in this gradual way. The colours matter less than the transition to FOSS, itself.
@dsfgs
Sure. Just remember that their opinions and what they guess the function of the icon will be, are often two very different things.
People often love flashy, unique icons, but in testing they're often confused by the purpose of those same icons. The most effective icons are quite often... boring. 🥱
