I said I would have a go at designing icons for Mastodon, so here's a mockup with them integrated 🙂https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snwh/mockups/master/mastodon/mastodon_wide.png

@snwh The boost rocket and astronaut is a stellar idea but agree that it should not be a rocket on the logout. I also do not like the looks of the Mastodon logo. Not your fault but i don't like it. Maybe you could make a better? Maybe @eugen could arrange a competition about it? ;)

@shellkr I see what you did there. But regarding the logo, competitions are not good ways to do design.

@snwh @shellkr Competitions are nine times out of ten the suicide of good design.

@ohyran I would say always.

@snwh I've seen it go well once - it was at a highschool and the students where participants which was fun.

@ohyran well, of course the context of the competition does matter.

@snwh You are maybe right.. I just think it should have a more "happy" or "social" feel to it. I do not think it gives a good vibe as it looks today. Anyway.. always like your work. ;)

@shellkr that is what the mascot is for. :)
