   The #SmallWeb has a new logo…

   💕

   Yes, that‘s it, the two hearts emoji, that’s the new logo.

   “Wait, what?! That’s not a logo, anyone can copy and use that!”

   Sure, go right ahead. We’re not playing the same game as Big Tech with their trademarks and whatnot :)

   PS. I just updated the placeholder site at https://small-web.org with the new logo and the Small Web protocol will use it as the namespace. e.g., my.small-web.site/💕/id → my identity (ed25519 public key for the cryptography nerds) :)

     PPS. I love that the logo renders differently on different platforms. It’s the meaning that matters, not the form.

     PPPS. small-web.org will be running a Domain¹ instance once Domain is ready. And Domain itself is a Kitten² app.

     @aral Emoji as logo, an awesome idea!

     The choice of 💕 is also great. Fits well with the core ideals and kitten's existing aesthetic.

     @aral So the "I'm in love"- emoticon or the "This looks so lovely"- icon has a new, less obvious meaning: "Everyday tools for everyday people, pro welfare contra capitalism". 🤔

     At first hand the idea is nice, but the result seems to be a new made up rule on what an emoticon means. I'm skeptical that people will make the right inference more often than not. I hope you're not making things too difficult for yourself with that move.

     Good luck either way 😍
