Everyone, we need to spruce the place up, so we wanted to reach out to you all for submissions for the icon and banner. Here’s the idea: submit icons and banners (SFW please). I’ll leave this stickied for 72 hours, then we’ll pick the most popular of each by upvotes.
I couldn’t find specs on icon dimensions, but it appears icons are square and tend to look best at least 256 x 256. Banners tend to be…rectangularish. Here are three banner examples: ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 )
As always, let me know if you have questions.

I like the icon
As this community shows up as 196 in web (not on yoyager) Can we rename it to 198? Just so we can easily see which one we’re going to? 😅
yeh tru >v< another option is calling it OneNineSix so one is numbers and the other is letters :3 also why 198? did u mean 197?
No, meant 198 - saw a comment saying it was less cool or smth, and 198 would be funny
hehe yeh it would be funny tbf X3
Here’s a 512² icon:
If anyone wants the SVG file to edit it further, here’s a link.
The shark was stolen from a Reddit post and then manually redrawn by me.
the other one with the trans rings got more votes so we added that one :3 but would u like to use this one for the matrix community? (yeh we have one X3 I made it as an unofficial space for the other 196 months ago but I guess its the official oneninesix space now :3 I’ll make a post about it later)
Feel free to use it for the Matrix community if you want! Or this sub. Or… dunno, any space that you want, to your hearts’ contents :3
okie thank uuuuu! :3
This is my vote. This one’s quality.
Well done!
That’s beautiful! Chef’s kiss mwah right there!
Surfacing this to the top for visibility, the old banner but as a Niko Oneshot textbox:
new banner added! :3 also it was the only other than the old one X3
I think if we’re gonna tell any extremists to fuck off, it should be nazis. Obviously tankies are shit and not welcome, but as a left leaning person I’ve been called a tankie for vanilla anticapitalism, and seeing it on the banner always put a bad taste in my mouth
Part of the problem is that tankies might actually think they’re welcome, not just here, but most places on this instance. Nazis know they aren’t welcome in a queer instance by its very nature.
That said, I get what you mean. It’d be best to have protecting queers & other minoritized groups in a banner as well, as Nazis are who we usually need protecting from
Niko ftw!!
@Cornflake@pawb.social also submitted an alternate icon version.
@Cornflake@pawb.social submitted this icon earlier so I wanted to ensure it gets in.
new icon added! :3
no rule in title = eat 100 gummy sharks as punishment
196 you mean.
no rule in title = molten gold poured down ones throat

Icon:
Banner:
Like someone else said, bad memories for that though i would rock with the same banner text in a different design
but also, taking one last opportunity: wtf is the icon?
i recently realized half of it at least is Armenian Corey
something else is overlaid and i can’t tell what…
It was the reddit icon at the time of migration two years ago. It’s the default subreddit icon overlayed with armenian corey overlayed with a funny looking bird.
ah! i see the subreddit icon but i can’t make out the bird
the bird is a little difficult to see because I’m pretty sure they were slowly adding more opacity to Armenian Cory
How about a Niko Oneshot textbox:
yus ! 😍😍 please post as a top level comment if you haven’t so it can be considered
Done.
Bad memories rule.
