An Icon Font for the Social Web
Published on August 7, 2024 by We Distribute Media

This is just a quick update, as we wrote about it extensively on our main site. TL;DR - we've been building an icon font that incorporates images from all of the different Fediverse / Social Web / Decentralized Social projects that we knew about. Of course, there are always more projects to add, but our first release includes 91 different logos in a handy font that you can use with your own web development.

We have some big ideas on how to handle this in the future. Right now, everything is done by hand, including checking all of the copyright assignments on all of the icons. We want to get to a point where any project can easily submit a logo image, include some details about who made it, and what license was used, and then a new version gets generated the moment we merge it in our repo.

There's a lot of stuff to figure out with automation and git, so it will take some time to get right. But, we're overjoyed to offer this to the space as one of our dedicated projects.
