@janszoon What happened there?

@Gargron a nice young fellow (@scruffyfox: Callum Taylor) designed the most beautiful app-dot-net android app (https://scruffyfox.github.io/Robin-Website/ )

But he used a bird-icon (and gave it a birds name).... somewhat unfortunately

@janszoon Did it get closed down because of it? I'm trying to figure out what bad thing happened because of the icon/name - or is just your personal preference?

@Gargron no no... just my personal preference! i liked everything about it, and it still works..... i would have skipped the bird

@gargron I think the bird names & icons have strong reference to #Twitter, not so much to #ADN.

@lnxw48 @Gargron why not use a balloon as a logo, the "lines" on it can symbolize the 'M'. Something like this: https://mastodon.social/media/5577
