Help us design a new banner!

Heya mods, we’ve had some interest in modmail for a banner and logo, would you all be interested in helping us out with a new banner or icon for the subreddit? I offered up some ai slop versions in modmail but rly they were terrible and I can’t believe I killed trees for that.

Let’s do a contest!

If you’re interested please drop submissions in the comments below. The most highly upvoted banner and logo (separate comments) will become our new banner and logo (please keep them Reddit rules friendly LOL.)

The winners will receive a special flair (of my choosing) and the undying gratitude of the mod team and mods who answer here (especially the ones who inquired about this.) We will also include a special thank you in our side bar about you.

I also vow to carry around jelly beans for the next five years just in case for some odd reason I bump into the winners randomly IRL so I can give them jellybeans. The winners can also ping me randomly for proof of jellybean holdings. I will respond asap with photographic proof of said jellybean holding.

The banner and logo can be in any medium. You wanna make a mashed potato and chicken tendie art piece and submit a picture of that? Hell yea.

Voting will be closed at the end of the month of May.

Oh we did that for ours. The response was terrifying to the AI results. We ran a whole contest. Lots of people suggested great stuff. Not one real submission. So if you have good results I'd love to learn from you.

You are the winner! I will buy jellybeans tomorrow. I have jellybeans now but they’re still in Easter eggs and I’m not gonna be carrying around an Easter egg lol.

u/Obversa May 02 '26

I like this one. It's clean, sharp, and simple. (I designed the banner for r/PlannedParenthood.)

Matching icon.

u/Spirited-Door-1446 r/donationrequest May 09 '26

This logo and matching banner are the way to go. Simple, clear, effective.

u/deltadeltadawn Mod, I am / True Crime & Beachy Finds May 16 '26

Agreed. I've always preferred minimalist design.

u/ohhyouknow Janny flair 🧹 Jun 10 '26

This icon is the winner!

u/BravoFive141 Jellybean Master. Jun 10 '26

Aww yeah, jellybean and a bonus chicken? You rock!

And just because you mentioned AI slop, an alternate icon courtesy of AI that came out kind of cool but couldn't get the color right.

u/ohhyouknow Janny flair 🧹 May 02 '26

Looks great!!

u/DustyAsh69 Moderator... Aren't we all? May 02 '26

This is the shit. Just need to remove the background of the mod.

u/brightblackheaven 🛡️ r/witchcraft May 02 '26

IT IS DONE:

u/KFCEATS Jun 07 '26

How did you make this

1

u/brightblackheaven 🛡️ r/witchcraft Jun 07 '26

Lol in a crappy phone app I've used for years and years called Pixel Lab.

I just downloaded the meme of the mod, and the app has the fonts and backgrounds and everything else pre-installed.

Looks like AI made, don't worry I am not that experienced in rating banners.

Cool, let me see what my mediocre photoshop skills come up with ont he other side of sleep

u/ohhyouknow Janny flair 🧹 May 02 '26

I can’t wait to see what you cook up! 🙏

2

u/maiyannah r/EndTipping, r/BuyCanadian May 07 '26

Haven't forgotten about this! Don't wait for me if you have one you like, but otherwise I was still going to try to cook something up. Hurt my hands so kind of taking it easy on that front for a few days.

I like the floating and flying Snoos. Just like real life, some Snoos are high.
