The proposed (and widely used) fediverse logo is now part of the Font Awesome library.
From the archives:
"A lot of people think that the pentacle was chosen because of its occult or satanic connotations. And while it would be in Fediverse's rebellious spirit, this was not the case."

@stefan Had too many issues with Font Awesome (limits on free tier + not wanting to pay for icons 😋). Eventually moved to Phosphor (https://phosphoricons.com) which awesomely has had the Fedi icon for a while now!

@shellsharks Yeah, I haven't used Font Awesome in quite some time myself. But it is nice to get a bit more recognition!
Phosphor looks nice, will have to check them out!

I don't think they'd accept this.

Probably same rules for emoji.

@michal Oh wow, didn't even realize this was a thing.
Found this conversation on Reddit that links to the original proposal.

Fun highlight from the person who filed the proposal:
"Strangely enough, I'm not invested in Bitcoin. I expected it would fall apart long ago"

@sashin Perhaps!
I certainly don't have the bandwidth, but this other related reddit thread could have some useful insights, if this is something you (or anyone also here) would be interested in taking this on!

@michal @stefan The fediverse as a concept isn't privately owned, maybe it wouldn't fall under "brands", I think a case could be made for this

@michal @stefan I wonde what the process of getting something in unicode is like. I much prefer the pentagram icon over the three asterisks.
