How about a logo for Nostr? Everyone can contribute to the Nostr ecosystem and create the visuals they like. And I love that!

However, I believe having a recognizable logo could be beneficial for the Nostr community as a whole!

I asked designer Andrea Nicolini (aka Bembureda, https://bembureda.dribbble.com), to create a logo and an icon for Nostr. I think he did an amazing job! Don’t you think so?

Download it now! Available in multiple sizes and colors here:

Why this fixation on ostriches? They’re shit. The only possible reason is ‘they’re a bird, you know like Twitter!’ but Nostr is so much more than Twitter, or will be. Needs its own identity.

I mean, I really like the actual logo I just don’t like this weird ostrich thing that’s now the law. I prefer something more like nostr:note18tlz3a8rtyrnhzp4n5y3ldj7h9sqpwpdvmz39fdx233wkzmk7m9qtrh2hx

as I've heard it the ostrich was used because it is the biggest bird. and also because it has -ostr in the name.

I agree that nostr will be bigger and more things than the other little blue bird app will ever be but there's a charm in having a collective history.

Yeah, I know the history, I’ve been here for almost a year. I still think ostriches are shit and awful to look at.

Yes you are definitely correct. I also would like to draw from attention to the language around the UX of nostr clients. I want to use new verbiage then the plain old "Like, Repost, dislike" ext. It's really important to create vernacular around these actions that express the decentralization, censorship resistance, and other advantages of this network. "Zapping" is a great example of this because it's a completely noval action online. The old words of other social media should be revamped rebranded to better express our ethos.

I like this one. That font for the other letters (o-r) feels a bit cartoony. https://nostr.build/i/3e094f88081c33b8d75e82f40ccfb864b36f9a3f65d9ab19d8c864aca917dc97.webp

The idea of making the O an egg is really cool though🥚

Avatar
daniele 2y ago

It is an atypical and not "mainstream" design, but for this reason it is really interesting and recognizable, it distances itself from all the existent, like Nostr. I like it!

Maybe I prefer the not-boxed version.

I think t can be longer and made an ostrich head

Yes it can be a long legged n .

It can even represent ostrich legs!

The egg inside the “o” really puts it over the top, I had to snicker when I noticed it.

I don't like it. it's cartoony and doesn't seem to take itself seriously.

I mean, we don't really take ourselves seriously *gestures towards all the memes* but there is gravity in what we're trying to grow here.

Yeah, I don’t hate the concept of “ostrich head in a lowercase n” but it does come across a bit cartoonish as-is.

Fun idea mate… but TCP/IP or SMTP don’t have logos and I struggle to think why Nostr should have one long term without creating some weird exclusive club. I suppose if the community generally gets behind it and it helps in some way then I could get behind it but we shouldn’t make any “official” logo or even pretend to. Generally (freely) accepted guidelines like Purple + Ostriches are fun and harmless but we don’t need an official flag or whatever
