Hello everyone,
This community is only a few hours old, and already there is a meta post ha ha.
I was just thinking that the EU flag doesn’t include non-EU countries such as Switzerland, the UK, Norway, Ukraine, Iceland, Albania, Georgia, etc.
Maybe a more “map-based” logo like this one could be considered too?
I suggest my drawing of Europe by memory. Your favourite country might not even be in there but it’s simple so you can see it as a small icon! I see no downsides.
What about a heart emoji? We love europe ;) and it’s not taken by any other community on the fediverse that I know of :p
Europa on a bull might work, if we can find a simplified enough version of it…?
Nice, but probably too complex… :-)
Here is one. (Not sure it would be readable as a 32x32 icon.)

You’re right but the flag is easy to read even at low resolution. Not sure that a map would make for a good small icon.
Even in all black, it’s kind of hard to see at low resolutions (ignore the superimposed flag, this is just what I found on the internet):
Thank you for your comment!
As a comparison, the way !yurop@lemm.ee icon looks:
I guess the shape of the continent is unique enough to be distinguishable
This is what that looks like in Photon (e.g. at https://p.feddit.org):
And in the bottom bar, next to each other:
(Granted, it’s a little unfair, since Photon in particular appears to scale the icons in a dumb way.)
maybe a cute kitten
