What icon should we have?
What icon should we have?
This community still needs an icon, and just the flag is boring. What does the community want to see?
Never forget that the classic video game Lemmings is itself a British creation.
This would be my pitch:
Alternate version and transparent PNG
Still an official™️ Lemmings skin tone, but one from a later game I guess, in the interest of inclusivity:
Transparent PNG in case anyone wants to remix it:
Easy, relevant banner idea
Use a screenshot like this one, but decide what they're queueing for. Greggs? Woolies? Half-price biscuits? The possibilities are endless.

Gotta be between this and top hat lemming. Does Lemmy do polls, yet? 🤔

Greggs pasty, or a nice cuppa (pending inevitable bickering over exactly what shade of tea)
Edit: Differentiate ourselves from the other place with an icon of a duck

6 1 ReplyI was thinking something Greggs based as well. I was just going to say the logo though 😂

I know this is a safe space, so I'm going to say something controversial. I don't like anything Greggs make (apart from the jammie dodger biscuit)

How about a lemming sipping tea like the Kermit the frog meme?

How about this most British of pictures? Angry person, reactolite glasses, a sausage ready for the back garden barbecue and even a sneaky garden fence. If there was a wheelie bin in there it would cover 90% of normal chat :-)
(Edit: and please for the love of all that is holy do not use a top-hat or a monocle. Those are lazy parodies of Britishness used mainly by Americans whose idea of the UK comes from The Crown and Downton Abbey. There's only one person who I can even imagine wearing either item regularly and I would probably get banned for saying what I think of him.)

The Alonso Deckchair image with the Union Flag as the background. Also give Alonso a Top Hat plus Monacle
