Mastodon logo looks like a happy comma

[–] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I thought that was the intention?

A double meaning icon, since the comma is used in writing on a text platform. I thought it was more creative than all the other soulless corporate minimalism.

That is cool…tbh I never saw the comma - I only noticed the elephant - until that person pointed it out. But you’re right - it is creative.

Elephant? I see a speech bubble.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

it's clearly a happy t-rex

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a speech bubble and an elephant-like creature.

My Internet was acting up. Thanks for pointing it up

The blue sky one looks just like the msn logo

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be an elephant. The mascot is an elephant too.

No, it's a Mastodon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep you are right! Didn’t know it was a real animal.
