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!
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
Anyway you can make the corners smooth and post a new link? Thank you, love the design.
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.
