After @FlayOtters@lemmy.world was able to get in contact with @MushroomMan89@lemmy.world, I volunteered to help moderate this community. I would like to thank both of them for doing the legwork of creating this community/and doing work to keep it running!
I have been a lifelong football/soccer fan and am happy to help keep this community on track and discussing the sport we all love.
If you see something missing on the sidebar (or anywhere else), please let me know!
With that out of the way, does anyone have any photoshop/editing skills? It would be nice to create a banner for this community but that is not something I am excel in so happy to take contributions!
It's a nice, clean and simple design. Overall i like it, but my one bit of feedback is to scatter the signatures across the field (more random placement). I like the soccer ball pattern in the lemmy logo.
Looking at example of the banner here (https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld), it is much larger (2484x950), it adapts as you change window size. I'll see if I can make it bigger to get rid of the pixelation.
I don't mind the badge by itself but the repeated Lemmy logo on both the icon and the banner next to eachother doesn't look good to me. Easiest solution is maybe to just remove the Lemmy icon from the banner and just have it be a football pitch with all the signatures? I also wouldn't mind the soccer ball being more prominent in the icon/badge somehow, but maybe that is just nostalgia for the old place and the comfort of the familiar.
