@dansup @pixelfed why aren't you just sticking with the current one?

@dansup @pixelfed I like the rainbow circle, seems like an aperture. A nice nod to photography in general.

Though I don't necessarily disagree with the folks who say it might be a bit cluttered. Also the black+white with a letter p could be considered similar to Patreon's icon (very very loosely).

@dansup @pixelfed I feel like the color background one is too close to I.G. The black background is quite nice

@dansup @pixelfed the left one kinda reminds me of Picasa

@dansup @pixelfed The left, the callback to a camera aperture is nice.

@dansup @pixelfed I really like both of them.
I think it would be neat it the one with the black background was changed to multiple color gradients. Then outline the circle in black and keeping the centre/logo the way its is.
Just an idea..
Good luck!

@dansup @pixelfed the one on the right is a super blatant IG ripoff. Left stands on its own.

@dansup @pixelfed prefiro podendo alternar dentro do app, mas prefiro a 1° opção

@dansup @pixelfed the one on the right is prettier but it looks too much like Instagram.
So I'd prefer the left. But I think it could be better.
Thank you for your work! 👍🏻

@dansup @pixelfed from a design perspective the one on the right has better readability, the rainbow roundel adds unnecessary complexity.

@dansup @pixelfed i love how this app is so community driven

@dansup @pixelfed I like the black better, but I'd also like to have more reach...

@dansup @pixelfed The black background, absolutely the black one!

@dansup @pixelfed the black one with the multicoloured ring looks uniquely #Pixelfed, the other one looks too much like that’s insta site.

@dansup @pixelfed both look absolutely gorgeous !

Right / second

@dansup @pixelfed Red/purple/orange gradient is too close to Instagram in that it feels like you just want to be something you're not.

Black one feels a little clown-y specifically with the rainbow ring around the logomark.

I'd like the gradient if you picked a different set of colors to make it feel more differentiated. I'd like the black one if it were just the white logomark on black.

@dansup @pixelfed not a user of pixelfed (yet…), but thought I’d give my two cents. And I’m sure you and the team thought about this, but I would be worried about getting insta-meta-book in a hissy fit with the similarity of the second icon and instagram’s icon. That said, I think it looks far more modern than the black-background-based one

@dansup black background.

@dansup @pixelfed I think it's not even an question you go with the right one the other is ugly
