If you don’t want most people to know your protocol, you have 💩 branding like POP, IMAP, SMTP.

Tor has a favorable and known consumer brand, at least among the nerds, and privacy conscious. They also have characters and art in a similar theme - we dont have to bury the nostrich just yet.

hmm, that tor one is cool indeed

but i don't really know much things built on tor protocol other than tor browser

and i only know of it because the name of the browser is the same as the protocol

like we used to familiarise ourselves with internet through internet explorer

It’s an interesting debate/challenge. I personally think if there’s going to be a logo/icon it should highlight the key pairs in some graphical way.

Iris messenger, and robosats can run on Tor. Relays can run on tor. You can run a node on the network.

Think of nostr as your garden soil.

In there you can plant beautiful roses, fast growing vines, and throw in some compost.

If you do it right you’ll have complementing each other trees, and shrubs with bees that ensure cross polination. The ecosystem depends on a good soil.

i think that the nostr protocol would benefit from being repackaged and presented much more nicely to even start thinking of having such a brand kit, but maybe i'm living in my delulu land

i do agree with you down the line, it's just that it needs to come naturally
