@gergely @kurzgedanke @davidrevoy I don't even see a whale on the initial toot :D
@funkwhale @gergely @davidrevoy oh... it was an dolphin... damn twitter emojisIi
@kurzgedanke @funkwhale @gergely
The emojis I added were just here because I'm not enough confident to send a toot on my timeline without a little something visual :D
It is not meant to be a list with pre-made choice. Any other animals/objects/cross-over/characters/creatures are possible
@davidrevoy wait, given the logo, here is a mascot:
@davidrevoy why not a ferret ?
@davidrevoy An owl because it 'peer's at you. :p
To be honest though, I suspect a cat, associated with videos since the dawn of catvideos might be, while clichΓ©, also make the most sense.
@Wolthera @davidrevoy i second that one. The owl, i mean.
@davidrevoy
π²
Each instance will contribute to building a forest
@davidrevoy A marmot : it's an "r" away from a mamot (Mastodon) and it's riding tubes...
@davidrevoy i'm voting unicorn
@masklayer @davidrevoy what if deer tho
@davidrevoy Carrot's a good mascot
@davidrevoy Even if it's already used by many organizations, the octopus makes sense.
I vote for the dog π πΆ π
@davidrevoy i'll always be team π¦ until they finally add a red panda emoji !!!
@davidrevoy I'd say *not* a fox (potential trademark issues as well as having problematic ideological connotations) or a frog (very problematic ideological connotations).
@davidrevoy Clearly a weasel (tuberat) holding a telescope (a literal peertube).
@davidrevoy obviously a pear with a tube stuck through it? No?
@davidrevoy Something like a starling ? Those often fly in large (and nice) clouds.
Or a fish shoal ? (probably not easy to represent in a logo)
@bumblebee @davidrevoy
Yes, seconding this one. I think Starlings are most representational.
@davidrevoy Cat with a telescope.
@davidrevoy how about ants π they build amazing stuff through efficient networking and swarm intelligence
@davidrevoy bees. they relay information through dances they have to show each other.
@davidrevoy I vote for π because it is ripe for imagery for pulling in video bits from all over the place with its many adorable arms!

or maybe

Community, sharing and communication
@davidrevoy A better project name might suggest a mascot or logo more easily. (Peertube says "Hi! We're a YouTube clone" in a way that Mastodon *doesn't* say "We're a Twitter clone" which makes space for a unique identity)
But I suppose it could work the other way around. Pick the mascot first.
I'd go with πΌ or π
@davidrevoy For π how about Cephvid?
@davidrevoy the owl is wise π¦
what about a humanized super8 camera, 60s model TV or cinema projector instead of an animal? π
@davidrevoy anything, but of course it has to be π΄ red

@davidrevoy The whale! Or the owl... I kindda like the Owl. :D
