Guys, I know this won’t happen but a week ago I created this icon with AI while I was sad because we lost Apollo. I wished Christian would make a transition to lemmy but he was completely silent.
Then I found out about wefwef and I’m really glad that I can have nearly the same experience while surfing on lemmy.
Even if I’m using mostly all available Apps for iOS, the only true successor to Apollo is Voyager.

FYI Developer specifically mentioned that Apollo-like icons would not be accepted
This is not the official icon submission thread. But I didn’t know this.

Really like your design regardless! Nice work!
I hope that a talented designer will find a way to turn my idea into a logo that fits the developers’ needs.
I would like to see a homage to Apollo.
created this icon with AI
You didn’t create anything. You told an AI how to create it.
My intention was to provide assistance or inspiration to others, as none of them had implemented this idea so far. It serves as an example of how AI can support creative thinking. Please keep in mind that I suck at drawing and I’m not planning to submit this icon (the developer himself asked for icons not associated with Apollo, which I didn’t know when I was creating this thread).
Well technically them created the idea of an icon for that specific app to have an stylized Astronaut Rat as a motive. He didn’t draw anything. This is basically the same thing that you can say about many CEOs and managers. Doesn’t mean that he didn’t create anything
You didn’t think enough before posting.
Best idea so far, since it takes from Apollo for recognition’s sake.
However, the logo is way too busy for the purpose it’ll have: An App Icon. Logos in general are very minimized, and these details aren’t readable at that minute scale.
I think somewhere, iterating off of this, would be the winner idea. At least, unless if someone wants to do something completely different off of the name, like a rocket ship or a boat, or something with a yellow disc like those ones the Voyager departed with.
I agree wholeheartedly. Whenever some is doing app design, I always tell them - just because the PNG submission recommendation is 1024x1024px, there’s only one time people will ever see it at that res (in the store); after that, it gets scaled down as small as 120x120 for Home Screen use (or 58x58 in settings).
There’s a reason boring, flat vector design wins - fast, universal legibility.
I don’t think it’s too busy at all. It looks great on my home screen.
Nice artwork! But you should render it in low res, like 128 x128, 64 x 64, and whatever the browser favicon size is. 32 x 32? Good logos have to work on shit rez.
Absolutely adorable!
I would use that in a heartbeat.
If you’re on iOS and want to use this as an icon here‘s how.
(I think I’ll just keep posting this under every icon proposal from now on)
I only knew that you could change the icon for apps (via shortcuts) but thank you very much!
The method you’re most likely talking about doesn’t work for web apps sadly. But for web apps this solution is indistinguishable from having the regular icon, which isn’t the case if you wanna use a different icon for a regular app
I’m living the dream! Thanks a lot.
Your profile-based shortcut asked for permission to open one of my banking apps. It was the step where you ask it to install the profile. I hope this is just some kind of mistake because I put in the wrong URL. What URL are you supposed to use? https://wefwef.app/settings/install ?
I think just https://wefwef.app (or better vger.app). But I didn’t make that shortcut and I kinda dislike having to install a profile for it. I tried it though and it worked for me.
I think the one I made is much cleaner as it’s just temporarily replacing the image URLs on the website before adding it.
Thanks, but for yours, I don’t get how you run a shortcut “on” a website.
Open the website, tap share and then scroll down, it should show up there somewhere: image
Awesome, thank you so much
This is CUTE! Would love to see you creating one for Jerboa of you intend to create for other apps. Hell, I might use this one for Jerboa tbh (if you’d allow me to do so, of course). Great icon!
Do whatever you want. As I mentioned in the thread I created it with AI. I tweaked it after that with Affinity until I was satisfied.
I’m not the creative genius, heck I really suck at drawing. But I had this idea struck in my head how the little astronaut passes his helmet to Lemmy.
I was so in love with the icon I completely missed the “made with AI” part hahaha. Doesn’t take away from how good it looks though, and from your good taste in color and style choices.
I dunno but I really like this one.
Love it, as a Apollo user coming from Reddit I feel like in a new home.
This looks like a Loporitz. Call him Lemmyway.
So good!
Looks great!
Logo is amazing. Going to check out wefwef because of this post.
Anyway you can make the corners smooth and post a new link? Thank you, love the design.
Just use this one without corners:
Thank you very much :D
