Nostr is a protocol, not an app. So why should a nostr icon need to “fit nicely against our competitions icons”, if these are all app icons? (Except mastodon, which is a protocol with an animal icon… not mentioned btw)

Indeed any icon for nostr protocol should STAND OUT from app icons so as to NOT be mistaken for an app AND so as to be recognizable as a protocol when said apps claim to use the nostr protocol.

You can’t be “not an app” while sporting a logo designed to fit in with other apps. We need a protocol icon, that maybe fits with other protocols. (Which may be easily accomplished by having a different outline than a rounded square?)
