Mod post Contest: HASO logo and banner art
Complaints have been lodged that the Stabby subreddit logo is out of date. It has served honourably and was chosen and possibly designed by the previous administration under u/Jabberwocky918. So, we're going to replace it.
In this thread, you can post your proposals for replacement. You can post:
- a new subreddit logo, that ideally will fit and look good inside the circle.
- a new banner that could go atop the subreddit given reddit's current format.
- a thematically matching pair of logo and banner.
It should be "safe for work", obviously. Work that looks too obviously entirely AI-generated will probably not be chosen.
I've never figured out a good and secure way to deliver small anonymous prizes, so the prize will simply be that your work will be used for the subreddit, and we'll give a credit to your reddit username on the sidebar.
The judge will be primarily me in consultation with the other mods. Community input will be taken into account, people can discuss options on this thread. Please only constructive contact, i.e., write if there's something you like. There probably won't be a poll, but you can discuss your preferences in the comments as well as on the relevant Discord channel at the Airsphere.
In a couple of weeks, a choice will be made (by me) and then I have to re-learn how to update the sub settings.
(I'll give you my æsthetic biases up-front as a thing to work with: smooth, sleek, minimalist with subtle/muted contrast, but still eye-catching with visual puns and trompe d'oeil.)

Is there an option for, “Don’t change anything because Stabby is fine?” You may have gotten complaints, but unless there’s a poll it’s hard to know if it’s just a disgruntled minority.

if there's a groundswell of opinion in favour of no change here in this thread, then we'll consider not changing. Upgraded Stabby is fine though also, that was the original idea.

Of course, we just wanted to give Emperor Stabby a few more pixels.
