Hello everyone!
You may have noticed that Eternity’s icon could use a bit of a facelift (I just hacked it together to have something). Well, it’s time for a change and I’d like to get all you talented folks involved!
So, I want to host a competition where you can submit your designs for a new app icon. Once we have all the submissions, we can vote as a community to pick our new icon!
Some details to keep in mind:
Deadline: I’ll be accepting submissions until the 8th of September, 2023, 18:00 CET. I might extend this deadline if we have too few submissions.
Format: Submissions should be in SVG or PNG format, with a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Resolution: Please ensure your design is at least 512x512 pixels if you’re going with PNG.
Monochrome Version (Optional): It’d be great to see a monochrome version of your design too (for Material You icons).
Design: Your design should be colorful, fun, and engaging. The original UFO spaceship could be a source of inspiration, or elements of the fediverse or Lemmy. Of course, if you’ve got another creative idea, go wild!
Once the submissions close, we’ll have a public vote to pick the winner (similar to what we did with the app name).
Thanks in advance for participating.
Happy designing!

Here’s my submission! Pictured below is the little dude taking a space walk out in psychedelic space. I loved the palette of the original icon, so I kept that mostly the same.

This one’s really good! I like that it works well as a monochrome icon while also having a detailed full-color icon.
Somehow I cannot see the images on Eternity (ironic…) but on another client I was able to see them. Looks good!

Its cool, but does that really work as a small icon? Thats a ton of detail for something so small.
I liked the old one. We should keep it and/or allow people to vote to keep it in, for now. And we can repeat the contest when the userbase grows.
You should probably add what license the icon will be under, if it’s submitted to the project. Creative Commons? GPL?
Just a point of consideration for those submitting ideas… Make sure you zoom way out on your icon and look at how it will appear when sized for a phone.
IMO that’s the biggest issue with the current icon - I just can’t tell wtf it is when it’s like 1/4” square.
Not a criticism, just something that’s easy to lose sight of when you’re working at a computer.
I’ve only just realised the icon isn’t actually a mole.
I kinda like the avatar your account has… Would be a fine app icon.
Same, OP/community icon looks nice. It could be the app icon os something similar.
I’ve been following this thread to check out all the great app icon designs being submitted. But I haven’t seen anything more since the Sep 8th deadline about where we go from here. Any news?
How about taking inspiration from an ouroboros image.
I am a shitty artist/designer, so I can’t help with actual designing. Ouroboros kinda means perpetual state, maybe eternity.
