gonna ask someone who's designed logos for years to design a nostr logo tomorrow

how would you describe nostr to somebody who hasn't got any clue about what it is

"It s PROTOCOL! do you know what a damn protocol is, bro???"

#NOSTR is PUNK

heard that craig wright made the protocol

Purple ostrich!

why ostrich?

Because it's what we've been using for the past year and it's cool and original and nobody else is using it. I don't want a logo that looks like generic corporate dog shit.

what does ostrich as an animal represent that goes well with the nostr protocol?

It's exotic and unique and can't be confused for any other bird

πŸ€” i'm not hugely bullish on nostriches, but who knows

the right logo idea might swoon me

Very large eggs

which animal has a lot of nips?

the tenrec

In all honesty, if we want to go the animal route as a way of representing the network, it should be a spider/spider web. Something like this.

so we are building

the world wide web

again?

Yes…no…maybe…yes?

that... is frightening. thanks 🫣

Apparently these guys

Because we all have our heads in the sand?

It’s the dark web where everyone is evading sanctions and financing terrorism.

so you want a logo for silk road

forward thinking

community driven

melting pot

amalgamation

fast moving

decentralized

networked

nostr is a protocol. what it IS is hard to represent in a logo. how it makes us feel and how it represents us is more important. the designer should approach it more like they're designing a symbol, not a logo. think logo of St Judes Children Hospital vs the caduceus symbol.

love this so much, thank you karo πŸ’œ

you're welcome πŸ’œ

It’s not an app.

Its texting with strangers who are very friendly

cute, i like that πŸ€—

Chaotic awesomeness

hmm good

keep the keywords coming

Nah that's it, that's what nostr is.
