Guys, I know this won’t happen but a week ago I created this icon with AI while I was sad because we lost Apollo. I wished Christian would make a transition to lemmy but he was completely silent.
Then I found out about wefwef and I’m really glad that I can have nearly the same experience while surfing on lemmy.
Even if I’m using mostly all available Apps for iOS, the only true successor to Apollo is Voyager.
I love it. How did you get it to look so retro? It reminds me of graphics on old VHS covers.
I have already mentioned it in the thread, I’ve used AI to create this icon. I’ve tested several different AI engines and had to rewrite my idea several times.
In the end I’ve used the Apollo logo to heavily influence the outcome (because most of the descriptions led to weird looking antennas and even helmets were slightly off).
FYI Developer specifically mentioned that Apollo-like icons would not be accepted

Really like your design regardless! Nice work!
This is CUTE! Would love to see you creating one for Jerboa of you intend to create for other apps. Hell, I might use this one for Jerboa tbh (if you’d allow me to do so, of course). Great icon!
Do whatever you want. As I mentioned in the thread I created it with AI. I tweaked it after that with Affinity until I was satisfied.
I’m not the creative genius, heck I really suck at drawing. But I had this idea struck in my head how the little astronaut passes his helmet to Lemmy.
created this icon with AI
You didn’t create anything. You told an AI how to create it.
Well technically them created the idea of an icon for that specific app to have an stylized Astronaut Rat as a motive. He didn’t draw anything. This is basically the same thing that you can say about many CEOs and managers. Doesn’t mean that he didn’t create anything
You didn’t think enough before posting.
My intention was to provide assistance or inspiration to others, as none of them had implemented this idea so far. It serves as an example of how AI can support creative thinking. Please keep in mind that I suck at drawing and I’m not planning to submit this icon (the developer himself asked for icons not associated with Apollo, which I didn’t know when I was creating this thread).
If you’re on iOS and want to use this as an icon here‘s how.
(I think I’ll just keep posting this under every icon proposal from now on)
I only knew that you could change the icon for apps (via shortcuts) but thank you very much!
The method you’re most likely talking about doesn’t work for web apps sadly. But for web apps this solution is indistinguishable from having the regular icon, which isn’t the case if you wanna use a different icon for a regular app
