Let’s pick a community icon, whatever gets the most votes wins! Suggest one in the comments below, one per comment. Square-ish icons work best, and most clients will display a circular view of them.
Let’s pick a community icon, but we might have to do multiple posts, because otherwise the first option will likely win just because it was first. Still submit your ideas here, and if you’ve got ideas on how to best run this, comment below! Probably leave the comments here open for a few days and let people filter over, and then create a new thread?

Could script to change the icon to a random face each week
That would be pretty easily doable. Might screw with federation, and you might end up with different servers having different community icons. Worth checking out though
