As expected, me, as a single mod, requires some help. I'll keep this post pinned and update it when needed. At the moment, what the community needs (except for more active users) is:

Another mod, even if there is not a lot of work to do, I'd still be happy if we can have redundancy.
Design for the community logo and banner.
A bot to update the sidebar - this is something I can do myself, only it will take me sometime to get there.

Some ideas for the banner (let me know if you like any of these, they are some AI generations I "created" using MS designer, I am a procreate artist, so if you do not like AI art I can recreate them based on any of these ideas. But they look somewhat decent. "Two music notes kissing" and "Two records holding hands", lol)

Hi,

Thanks so much! This is a cool idea. Two thoughts about the images:

I prefer man-made than AI-generated. So if you can recreate this, after having the final design, I'd prefer that. Of course, our time is limited, and you are doing this for free, so I'm not going to demand anything from you.
I think it's a bit two happy-smiling-kissing-bees. I would like to see some representation of the various musical styles. Like, showing in the background some factories (industrial), sea (surf music), etc. The last one, with the street lights, shows that to some level. (Other members, feel free to suggest ideas)

Actually, three things,

If you have the time and energy, maybe you can add more style to the community logo? If @[email protected] agrees.

I would be happy to. Yea, as an artist myself, I only use AI generated for reference and inspiration. Think of the ideas as a creative pitch. I will work on a more serious and inclusive design on procreate within the next couple of weeks. I don't accept money for my work anyways, I just love making art too much.

I'll be sure to include factories, the sea, and some urban elements in the background. I could include some instruments linked with chains or something like that to be more sophisticated, lol. The kissing/holding hands idea was just a funny idea when I thought of the word connection, so I will nix that and use a different way to link them.

In the next few days if anyone wants to add some keywords for depicting various music styles with objects, etc, feel free to reply to this comment as I will draft up a few ideas soon.

I hope to finish before the New Year. And I will also see about revising the logo. Thank you for the opportunity!
