I'd love to have one for !microbiology@mander.xyz, and I have this sketch I made that I'd be happy to use, but it doesn't quite fit the style of other communities:
Is someone in particular making these, or are they coming from a particular place?
I like this style a lot! Thanks for sharing it! I am away from my computer this weekend but I can add it as an icon tuesday morning. The style is unique and stands out, but I do think it fits well with other icons. And I am not trying to adhere to a specific style. I would just need to either make the bacteria lie inside of a white circle or make the background transparent, and then test that the width/height ratio is correct such that the image doesn't get cropped.
The first community icons and the mander icon I drew with inkscape, and my girlfriend helped me make some, like the jumping spider for /c/arachnology. More recently some users have contributed their own icons to a few communities. And a few days ago I asked an AI called Midjourney to make a few icons for some communities that didn't have them.
