   No, it is not an alternative to the pentagram.
   the longer this is discussed, the more my aversion to the cogwheels grows.
   
   It may well be that it exists as a keyboard symbol, but it still says nothing except gears.
   
   And whether a monochrome Fediverse symbol “works” is more a stylistic question and therefore purely subjective.
   
   For me, the monochrome Fediverse symbol looks much better than the cogwheels.
   
   The fediverse doesn't need rebranding because 90% of the time it never works that way.

     • Fediverse Symbol ⁂

     Do you know the Fediverse logo?

     It’s a nice logo. It’s colorful, and it’s a good representation of the different nodes in the Fediverse. That said, its many colors and many lines also mean it doesn’t necessarily work well everywhere. Sometimes you need a small, monochrome logo. This logo’s monochrome version doesn’t work as well.

     Enter, the asterism: ⁂ It’s simple, it’s a unicode symbol so available on all keyboards and scalable. It can be colored or not. I think it could make for a nice representation of the Fediverse!

     Check the proposal here: fediverse symbol ⁂

     Kudos to @FediverseSymbol for making this happen!

     BeAware :fediverse: repeated this.
