I’m very excited to switch when I can microblog to my own profile!

I think I might make the strips thicker and the dots bigger.
I made it chonkier so it would look better as an icon

      You’re welcome to it! Although I’m thinking about brightening up the red of the cherries a little if you prefer that variant.

      Edit: honestly after a second look, they both needed adjusting. The cherry needed to be brighter and the blue needed to be muted. Fixed now, lmk where to send the SVGs

        I like the blue one a lot better now!

        I’m not sure if the software logo should lean more towards the abstract or the concrete, but I really love these designs and hope they’ll be picked up somewhere!

          The colors are somewhat flexible. Apple/orange wasn’t a pleasant contrast with the crust, and green just wouldn’t look right. Blue and red are nice enough though and could make cute options for alternate default themes. I certainly don’t want to malign the dev, especially given all the hard work they’ve put in. I will say that I was inspired to contribute by the thought that I might have a better eye for this sort of thing. I’m very much a proponent of offering solutions rather than just complaining (and I certainly don’t have a good enough eye for code).

            I think a concern is that a very pie-like logo combined with the name could confuse visitors into thinking this is a forum to discuss pies? At least that’s one of the cases to be made for a more abstract leaning logo.

            That said, I think few would argue your suggestions don’t look better than the current logo, which I have grown to like but is certainly not a modern masterpiece.
