@BeAware I dunno, personally I don't like the current fediverse logo. Tried to make it look good on a site a couple months ago and gave up and just put the mastodon logo in there instead, which probably isn't great for a network defined by many different servers.
Threads introduced their own fediverse logo probably for the same reason Flipboard adopted Threads' version- that it's pretty difficult to make it look good in different scenarios- which means assuming we stick with :fediverse: the default for everyone else will probably end up being Meta's version
