Perhaps lower the contrast a bit? Use some gray and charcoal color? Presently it looks like what I see when I have migraine aura… and I don’t intend that to be mean or anything!
Sort of vaguely op-art. Or postmodern brutalist perhaps.
It could be a bit better thought out to improve readability and find a more pleasing interaction between the letter and logo elements, but it’s an interesting idea to explore further I think.
Either put the letters or the logo in the background. This mixing effect is just hard on the eyes and triggers even my migraine. Definitely don't use this logo to promote the fediverse.
The main problem with that is that most of these platforms barely communicate with each other. I think mbin right now has the best multi platform support but even that is somewhat lacking.
That is true, but I don't think that's a good enough reason not to use them as the representations. The interoperability will improve over time, it just has to be developed more.
However, I am also hesitant about it for another reason in that I'm not really certain any of these platforms are static or will just forever keep changing over time. How do you represent a forever changing, evolving, dynamic network of platforms?
Also, we should try and focus on what are some of the ways that it could be improved as well.
