You should probably add what license the icon will be under, if it's submitted to the project. Creative Commons? GPL?

Here is a showcase of my icons, both monochrome and full detail. One was inspired by the UFO design, one by this community's current placeholder icon. I could tweak these a little more, but I think that these are good for now.
We have a winner 🎊
Bottom left looks great, maybe too dark
bottom left is good
Bottom left looks really cool at this size, but I think it wont be distinguishable enough at icon size. Top left is 💯/💯
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!
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.
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 like the current icon, it's lovely. Just needs the background tweaked a bit.
Yes, I like the current one as well ! It just needs a little more work.
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.
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.
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?
I was inspired by Eternity from Marvel Comics who looks like this
The icon is Lemmy's mascot with an infinity symbol for eyes, it is a nod to both the concept of Eternity and a callback to the Infinity client as Eternity was formerly known as Infinity for Lemmy.
Looks like a not-melted meta (facebook) logo
So the infinity symbol is now a "not-melted meta logo". Please kill me.
