[Discussion] Let's create a banner for sh.itjust.works! - eviltoast

The two obvious themes in my mind are gears/some sort of complex machine, or computer hardware/circuits.

As an avid Lain Iwakura enjoyer, I added that screenshot because it’s awesome and I think it’d be an extremely cool banner, but there are probably much cleaner designs out there that would be more welcoming to new users. I’m sure you guys will be able to come up with some in short order.

You can look on lemmyverse.net to get a quick overview of some other instance banners.

I really don’t know how the formatting and proportions are supposed to work but I will edit that in as soon as someone clarifies.

Lemmy.world looks like this

This discussion will run for at least a week, and then we can take the most upvoted submissions in this thread and put them up for an official vote.

    Any chance you could make a few more with a prompt like “Satisfied seal working on computer”? As the satisfied seal is our logo, would make sense to work it into the banner too.

      I’ll give it a try, but seals in Midjourney aren’t as… pliable as lemmings, if that makes sense. They can’t really work with their flippers and are more closely associated with certain styles that the AI insists on inserting.
      I’m going to have to be strict with it. I’ll post new seal based ones if I’m satisfied with the results.
