FediTips has moved!

Do you have a website? Have you remembered to link to your Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed or other Fediverse account?

If you want high quality icons or artwork for your links, there are official SVG files which work at any resolution:

:mastodon: Mastodon (click on the images to download the files)
joinmastodon.org/branding

:peertube: PeerTube (downloads a ZIP file press kit)
joinpeertube.org/press-kit.zip

:pixelfed: Pixelfed
github.com/pixelfed/brand-asse

:fediverse: Fediverse

@feditips I don't actually want high quality icons. I just want a black and white (as in, easily usable for dark) svg under 1 kilobyte that I can use to link to my "Mastodon" but it's not really Mastodon, it's Akkoma. Why is there no generic icon that says "Fediverse, the Mastodon-y kind, as in like Twitter, definitely not like Peertube or Pixelfed"?

@liskin

That's what the Fediverse logo is for? It's generic and covers all Fedi platforms. Or do you mean specifically for microblogging accounts?

By the way there's a monochrome version of the Fedi logo at commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil

@feditips I mean specifically for microblogging, yeah. Also, I don't think many people would recognize the monochrome fedi logo anyway, but perhaps that's just me?

@feditips I did remember, but I don't want icons. People don't understand them and they can't be looked up in a dictionary.

@feditips
Although that icon is the de-facto Fediverse logo, and it is a high quality one, i'm not sure it's right to call it an "official SVG file"? and Wikimedia Commons definitely does not represent Official Fediverse

@terrain

Yeah, sorry about that, I only meant the projects that do actually have official logos. I was at edge of character limit in post 😁

The structure of the Fediverse means it will never have an official logo. The nearest we'll ever get is :fediverse: but it isn't official, nor does it claim to be.
