    Yeah, I’m no graphic designer but the fediverse logo looks like a nightmare to render at small sizes, which is what designers are looking for in a logo, typically - something that is both easy to recognize and scales well at all sizes, from favicon to building sized ad. It’s extremely busy, so many crossing lines in such a small space just looks like a garbled mess at small sizes. Take this image and scale it down to 16x16px, you can see what I mean.

      I also am no graphic designer, but: maybe just remove those central lines if you scale it down so much that they’re a problem. It’ll still be recognizable and true to the spirit of the thing.
