# Our new logo
|
||
|
||
<small>2022-01-28 | Collective</small>
|
||
|
||
Pronouns.page started as a simple, tiny project – and its logo reflected that fact:
|
||
it was just a generic icon of tags (representing pronouns and labels).
|
||
But with more features, more traffic, more users, and more team members
|
||
came new needs, new ideas, and the talent and skills necessary to make them come true.
|
||
|
||
We needed a more distinctive logo for the project.
|
||
And today we are very proud to present it! Look how awesome it looks! 😍
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It was designed by [詩央 / Shio](/@shio_o). In a simple yet distinctive shape she managed to combine four important meanings:
|
||
|
||
1. `( / )`, pronoun indicator, as in “Alex (they/them)” – to symbolise **pronouns**,
|
||
2. ԀP – double P – stands for **P**ronouns.**P**age
|
||
3. [中](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD) – a Han character meaning center/middle
|
||
(pronounced “zhōng” in Mandarin, “chuu” or “naka” in Japanese, “jung” in Korean) –
|
||
symbolising **neutrality** (as in: gender neutral language),
|
||
4. 🔗 – a link symbol – representing **human connection**.
|
||
|
||
Thanks to [Daniel/Kris](/@CtrlAltGr) we can also present the new logo and the idea behind it using a cool video:
|
||
|
||
// (TODO) not the actual video, I just put it here to test embedding from peertube,
|
||
replace the placeholder with the proper video once it's finished ;)
|
||
|
||
{embed=//videos.trom.tf/videos/embed/90252742-5e91-4e2f-9de8-2907a21cdd81=67. Moderating the Fediverse}
|
||
|
||
The new logo comes with an extra little feature:
|
||
[Andrea](/@andrea) made sure that hovering your mouse over the logo in the header will reveal
|
||
a flag related to a celebration from the [Queer Calendar](/calendar) on the current day.
|
||
|
||
Hope y'all like it as much as we do 😉
