Thanks to the lovely Heatherhorns (https://trello.com/b/8dvKmvtc/commissions) we have a new icon! We’ll be updating the instance icon soon!
So, with the new fediverse canvas project just around the corner, it’s time for our new shonk to represent!

anton ( @anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 28•4 days agoWhile it’s absolutely adorable, I think the old one makes for a better logo.
Maybe it’s the lack of contrast but ultimately it’s just a gut feeling.
bolexforsoup ( @bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•2 days agoThey can’t reach the artist for permission sadly
Kaity A ( @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English21•4 days agoOur best haj, Shonky (they/them) is available now, over at their own Github repository for use when referring to Blåhaj Lemmy.
I’m guessing we’ll need them to make an appearance for the Canvas template.

While this defiantly represents the general Blåhaj zone userbase better, our current logo is already pretty good. Id keep the old one but i guess now it’s already too late for that. I’m still welcoming our new icon. Hiii! <3
The issue is, the old logo was a copyright free image I found online when we were first getting this instance set up, and it was basically just me here. Since then, I haven’t been able to find the original artist, or work out exactly what I was allowed to do with the image. We had this one commissioned though :)

jahtnamas ( @jahtnamas@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English4•3 days agoi can’t find the exact one right now but i think the old logo is in the same style as boggartowl, the artist of this telegram sticker set. i remember finding it before when i still had tg and i was like “oh hey i know that shark from that lemmy instance i use”.
so yeah, probably best y’all got new art…
Chloë (she/her) ( @MicrondeMMMMMMM@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 11•4 days agoOh it’s really cute! 🥰
altoids0 ( @altoids0@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 11•4 days agoso when are the stickers with this shörk coming out ;)
We’re trying to get some organised :)
Coskii ( @Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 9•2 days agoI dunno if the whole thing is a bit too busy for the topbar…
So I guess I’ll present a simple alternative:
Regardless of the particulars, it’s super cute!
To compare:

Wait what did you change? Or is that the joke?
Coskii ( @Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•3 days agoJust cropped it so that it’d appear larger and less busy detail wise. I don’t think most people who already know what a blahaj is would have any trouble descerning the intent of the cropped image instead of the full shork.
ArxCyberwolf ( @Snowpix@lemmy.ca ) 1•3 days agoIt’s just zoomed in and cropped from the original.
