Maybe could be worth posting both, one as a reply to the other. Issues with the four separate panels:

– Panels gets cropped on default Mastodon so it doesn’t look that good and text/scene isn’t all visible
– Cannot be read at once on desktop, requires clicking around at least 4 times, an incentive to scroll past
– Harder to reshare easily (if that’s a goal) / no credits or licence (that can be fixed)

I see how it’s better for mobile. Also fit for Pixelfed and similar!

And also made up a cute mysterious character that hides under vinyl sheets and friendly haunts web servers to make them faster??? (I don’t have the whole mythology figured out yet 😂)

It isn’t just the logo :)

Meet the Vinyl Ghost, a new mascot for the project.

A mystic but friendly creature who nests on web servers. Like hermit crabs, it caches itself underneath a sheet of vinyl. Yet, it’s always out there to lend a hand delivering webpages.

I drew the mascot in a few different poses and expressions, with possibilities to create more in the future!

And of course, visual identity classics: colour palette, typeface selection.

I made the new logo for Vinyl Cache! 😊

Happy to share a project I have been working on: a new visual identity for Vinyl Cache!

Installed in front of a web server, it makes websites faster to load.

The new logo stems from a simple concept: Vinyl Cache protects the server just like vinyl film protects what it’s applied on.

The symbol combines a solid block representing the website and a translucent flexible layer as the cache. Together, they form a V monogram, along with a customised wordmark.

In design, usually a “workshop”, it’s probably the most generic name. Same in arts I think.

For games there’s “jam”, for comics “24-hour comic days”, a lot of others have that time in the name, “48-hour short film contest” or something.

So many useful ideas! Some of those I had in my mental Illustrator wishlist, others are great thoughts! I agree that a custom specialized software would be neat, still it could be nice to open some of those as suggestions for Inkscape for instance, in case they want to pick it up? Could be nice to have some of those implemented in a general tool.

Yes @url.tld@url.tld is better. Maybe @url@url.tld would even make more sense in most cases, but I can see how it would break for some clever domains. Or maybe CMSes could start having a “Site ID” variable (in a field under “Site name” on initial set-up, pre-generated from the site name) and then using that as a default @ for Fediverse… Just thinking out loud :)

Is “feed” the default name of fediverse accounts on Ghost? It’s going to be confusing if we start having many different Feed (npub1pqp…kk9u) (at least in clients such as Mastodon Web which doesn’t show the server name inline). Maybe it should be the name of the media by default?

Do they get the icon from the original server, or is it a pre-made list of server types that the client has internally, do you know?

For the simplest and not too visible integration in Mastodon, this is something like this I had in mind (if no icon is declared):

Totally, I often feel I need to know too! I’d be great for servers to send with each profile some metadata with the name and the icon of the server software. In Mastodon, it could easily be displayed on the contact preview card that appears when you hover a username? Is that too much complexity to add for most users, and would be confusing? Or perhaps, it’s nice to resurface the info and remind that there are a lot of different networks here?
