Is this likely to make it in? Can’t believe the insane amount of updates you’ve been dropping recently!

Whoops. I linked the wrong icon! This is the one you’re after. I did also share in a DM on LinkedIn :) https://willgreen.gumroad.com/l/voyager?layout=profile

Sorry, didn’t know that link would expire. I’ve added these to Gumroad where they will exist permanently! https://willgreen.gumroad.com/l/voyager-apollo?layout=profile

Sorry, only just saw this comment! Here’s a link to a zip with this icon and a simpler variant if you’d like to add one. I think the simpler one looks better when scaled down on a home screen personally. Please use my real name, Will Green, in the credit if you do :)

And please let me know if you need them in any other format.

Maybe you'd consider adding this original icon I made to the client as it doesn't have any Apollo/Reddit references? There seems to be at least some demand for it in my other post

Thanks! I've added a download link for this and the simpler variant I posted in the comments.

I think the eyes are pretty critical unfortunately. I agree that it could be simplified a bit. When scaled down on a home screen it looks a bit detailed. Here's a simplified version. I've reduced the strength of the nose and whiskers, and hidden the bottom whiskers under the visor. I've also removed the grid texture from the visor and the details from the space suit. I also made the moon darker so that the shadow on the left side of the torso isn't a problem anymore. Let me know what you think.

Yeah, you're totally right! You inspired me to have another stab at an icon without an antenna.

I decided to have another go at an icon, this time ditching any Apollo inspiration and the antenna. I posted it in a new thread here.

I recently shared some Apollo tribute icons that I made. As you all rightfully said, an antenna on a Lemmy app doesn't make much sense! I had another stab, but this time tried some slightly more original ideas, and made something that I feel captures "Voyager". Let me know what you think.

Happy to provide another free download link for this one if there's demand. Also, if you want any tweaks or have any other ideas, please let me know. I could make these all day!

Edit: As people have asked, here's a free download link for the icon and another simplified variant I made based on some feedback. Here's a preview of the simplified variant.

I can understand why you might not be keen to add these. I'm not sure Christian would be too keen, and I don't particularly want to bother him to find out. Also, having thought about some other people's feedback in this thread, I don' think the antenna makes sense. I decided to have another stab, but tried some original ideas and ditched the Apollo trappings. Here's something that could just be Voyager. Let me know what you think. I could make these all day!

I’ll do another variant with the antenna and the bottom eyes for you. Will share it later on when I’m back at my desk.

 

I made a set of icons for Voyager, that pay tribute to Apollo. Any donations to download will be spent on Apollo merch.

Download them for free here.
