I think fedi should not have a logo to make sure it will have long term success. If you give it branding, people are going to associate it with stuff, potentially negative stuff. It's better if a single ActivityPub implementation falls down than fedi itself. #fedilogo
#FediLogo
Behold, my partner's proposal for a fediverse logo!
I've seen all the logos and this is the best one for sure
Yo me quedo con el símbolo actual del Fediverso: :fediverse:
Saluton, karaj!
Mi tradukis proponon por nova simbolo de Fedeverso ⁂, sed mi bezonus ekspertulon por korekti miajn erarojn.
Se vi ŝatus tion fari, poste la korekto, bonvolu aldoni vian fedeversan konton (@viaNomo@viaServilo) je la fino de la tekto por ke mi povas agnoski vian kontribuon kiam mi sendos la tradukon.
Antaŭdankon!
(mi uzas la vorton “Fedeverso” ĉar “Fediverso” estas precipe uzata de hispanoj kaj italoj, do tiel ni povas havi propran kradvorton)
@luiseme Holi! Yo me lo he puesto “en la solapa” (al lado del nombre) para mostrar mi apoyo. En Fedicat estamos comentando tema traducciones. ¿Te animarías a traducir la web de la propuesta al español?

Hi @FediverseSymbol ;)
@FediverseSymbol
Hi there! Very nice page to promote this symbol! To me, that would be a very good candidate to substitute the pentagon / pentacle. I totally agree that, being a character, it is more easily introduced in various texts and posts. However, typing it might be difficult in many platforms or OS's, so there might not be so much gain in this sense (there's always the copy-paste option, sure). It would be great that it could be used as a hashtag, but last time I checked, I couldn't (maybe it depends on my node's software?). Checking again... #⁂
Colored and/or rotated versions could be used where such content is possible, but the good thing is that it's such a specific character, that it is easily recognizable both rotated and not, and both with 5 or 6 pointed asterisks.
Now the funny thing is that there is no centralized body to which propose an official symbol or logo (and I love that it is this way). So... how to promote a change? That's probably a social challenge!
I'll add some more tags to the thread, just in case:

Good morning (or TZAG) everyone!
As I said earlier, here's some more info (some of it may have been already posted in current or nearby threads):
Here's a bit of history on the unofficial-and-quite-adopted logo for the #Fediverse, plus some other ideas: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fediverse-logo-or-icon-proposal/1057, also contributed by @dsfgs.
To add a bit of more data to the history: the rotation of the pentacle has three objectives: firstly, so that it does not look neither like an upright pentacle, nor an inverted one, both of which are symbols of actual use. The other main objective was to make it square in proportions, so that if it is used in a place where it is displayed as a circle (such as many apps do in avatars: the original image is square, but it's displayed as a circle), it still appears centered and fully visible. Finally, being a bit rotated adds dynamism.
Here's a discussion (in Catalan, hopefully you can machine-translate it) where @titi, @marcelcosta and I discussed a new idea for a logo: the U+2042 ASTERISM character: ⁂ https://agora.fedi.cat/t/targeta-fediversal-amb-nou-logo/738 (plus a conversation in https://bcn.fedi.cat/notice/AbIbB3mNisOH7f3cIq with @paukokura too).
For the record, I also attach the Asterism idea. For my taste, it works better than the original pentacle, especially in small sizes (although it's still a bit cluttered, but I'd say it's clearly recognizable), and it adds the advantage of being an actual character (depending on the font, it may be implemented with 5 or 6 pointed asterisks, but I don't think that's a problem). The problem is that it is not a clear evolution of the first one, so an hypothetical process of adoption would probably generate confusion for some time. But the #Fediverse is confusing, also! Because... what is the Fediverse? In https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/fediversity/10 there are some discussions, and I also remember there being one somewhere (not sure if in this forum) about how to best communicate the idea of the Fediverse (including maybe a motto), to help improve the adoption.
Anyway, for me it is funny (and a bit flattering too) to see the original logo appearing here and there. It is also interesting to observe how this all happens without any verticality or hierarchy being applied (formally, at least). The logo, by the way, disappeared at some point in Wikipedia's English version of the Fediverse article, but it stays in some others (such as the Spanish version).

So I tried making a Fediverse logo! :gutkato_kontenta:
Most people seem to be using the rainbow-coloured pentagram (by Eukombos & al.), which I like well enough myself, but since I read somewhere that it looked a bit busy, I tried making something simpler yet familiar. Instead of different nodes, I put the colours in different spaces/communities formed between the interacting nodes; sorta inspired by the origami boat logo (by DSFGS).
I don’t think the result is particularly striking or much improved, but since I already made it, here it is anyway! Hereby dedicated to the public domain using CC0. I’ve put together a comparison with some pre-existing logos, too; which ones do you like the best? :gutkato_flucerba:

@paukokura Mola molt, la veritat. Comentàvem per l’àgora que deu funcionar com a etiqueta també. Aviam, provem:

It looks ....
@wolf @rysiek @axbom Yeah, that old logo idea is waaaay to generative of an actual pentagram. People are funny about anything even remotely adjacent to that. Too bad we can’t use the #StarTrek Federation logo 🤣🤣🤣 Someone ask @georgetakei if he has enough pull to “make it happen” 😜 #FediLogo imagery needs to be a low level percolating thing😜 that just works it’s way thru the creative minds of the #Fediverse till the right one pops. 🥰
@agendaconcerts Òndia! Celebro molt aquesta decisió!!! :) Jo sóc molt pesadeta amb la comunicació digital ètica…
Per cert, per què no poseu l’enllaç d’aquest compte a la web? Hi faria molta patxoca un #fedilogo :)
En fi, que moltes gràcies per no voler rastrejar a ningú des de casa vostra.
Aviam, #Fediverse ... Quan heu vist vosaltres una comunicació d'una cooperativa amb el #fedilogo ?
Gràcies veïnes d' @Educoop :)

#fedilogo @kim @kim t'animes a escriure una entrada de @surtdelcercle explicant com es va crear el logo del fedivers?
Ja ni m'enrecordo qui el van anar fent🤔
