Currently favicon (circled R) looks similar to the one used for internals.rust-lang.org or users.rust-lang.org.

Maybe Lemmyrs should have a distinct favicon (website tab icon), for example, circled “L” instead of circled “R”?

    Hey !meta@lemmyrs.org should be open now for non-admins to create posts. My apologies I had it setup for admin-only post creation on it earlier.

    As for the logo, I was actually a bit concerned about it when setting this instance and communities up because I didn’t quite know which icons were in public-domain for general consumption, so I picked the ones with the most permissive licenses I could find. Happy to change to whatever icon(s) the community desires as long as we don’t use any icon with a strict license.

      You mean the Rust logo? That is not a cog, it’s a sprocket (a wheel that meshes with a bicycle chain).

        Yeah, I mean cog, short for cogwheel, as in “just a cog in the machine”. If we’re being pedantic, I believe that a sprocket is a type of cogwheel.

        It might just be a dialect thing; in British English it’s rare to hear the word sprocket outside of more technical senses, e.g. when discussing bikes.

      So that tabs with lemmyrs posts would be easily distinguishable from tabs of docs.rs and the forums. Docs.rs have somewhat different role, so tabs with it is less likely to be intermixed in the tree with other ones. But IRLO/URLO and Lemmyrs serve comparable roles and are likely to link to each other, so distinctive favicons can help.
