I’m not sure if people care all that much, but whenever I visit this community I can’t help but notice the fairly ugly icon and banner which is clearly AI generated.
Would it be worth updating these? Heck I can make something for the community if needed

The banner I can see yea I never noticed that before, but I like the community icon, it isn’t a currently valid gamepad(that I can recognize), but gets the point across it’s game related without hinting at a prioritization or preference of system.
If the icon changed I would love if it kept it’s individuality by remaining a fake controller instead of being an image(or depiction) of a real one.
The app I use to browse Lemmy doesn’t show banners so I never noticed but once I pulled it up in browser I agree 100%. That’s a really bad banner.
I’ve never looked that close, but now that I have I’m on your side.
Second that. AI these days: as if nobody here could create a screenshot from its steam library: like Berin@discuss.tchncs.de already did. I bet prompting AI even took longer to create that shitty version of a steam library.
Holy shit that’s ugly, lmao. Yeah, trash the slop.
I agree 100%, both look super ugly
As an alternative, there are tons of gamepad icons on freepik like this one that could be used as long as theres an attribution link in the community description.
Also here’s a quick collage I screenshotted from steamdb, feel free to use it if there aren’t any better ones by others:
that site must not work on mobile, every picture posted there is in black and white for me, which makes them look really ugly
The second link works though, as long as I stay on that image
Yeah definitely a mobile thing, because I just changed the filter over to gradient and you can tell there’s slight color involved but everything looks like shown through a dirty glass pane
I love that Banner though
That looks great to me! Would get my vote if the community owner is happy @nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works
I kind of dig the icon but yes, the banner is simply awful.
What exactly do you dig about the icon? 😅
For myself, I love the fact that it’s clear that it’s not an actual game controller, however you can tell it is meant to be. This gives the first glance look at a community that is gaming related without defaulting to a specific platform.
I would say that if the game controller icon gets changed it should keep that individuality, meaning that I wouldn’t recommend it become a picture of an actual controller or a diagram depicting an actual controller
Maybe into the fucking hell?
The colors and it looks like a child’s drawing, which is fun.
You’re right, they’re hideous!
Aw, I like the gloopy “name any of these games” banner.
