Template talk:Discord topicon

Symbol update request

I've noticed that Discord has officially changed their logo and symbol. And when I looked at this template, I realized this must be fixed.

So I decided to inform you all for this change and hopefully, I think it will work out.

I hope you accept this update request. :)

Hey, Doctorine Dark! Bit of a late response, but I noticed the same thing and found my way here.

I think we unfortunately need to keep the old icon (

) as it's considered public domain due to its simplicity. The new logo, however, is only being used under fair use (File:Discord logo.svg), so we can't really use it anywhere other than the Discord article. Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 05:07, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bsoyka and Doctorine Dark: I have created a file that looks similar to the new Discord logo, but with a simplified shape, an added monocle shape, and a circle in the Blurple color surrounding the other shapes, similar to a Discord avatar. I'm going to replace the old icon with this one, as I think this is closely styled enough to look like Discord's logo, while, to my knowledge, still not breaking any Wikipedia policies (such as Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria).

I am unsure how to make the topicon use an SVG rather than a PNG though... (I would like help with this, as it doesn't currently look like this is possible when using topicon as a base?) Xan ✨ talk 09:58, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
