Honestly, I’ve been really enjoying making these, probably the most I’ve been excited to model something for months. So I exchanged some sleep for a faster turnaround :) Previous post here
Upd: here are the links to images on transparent backgrounds for creators to use on their pages: purple and green Artemis, 3D modeling
Artemis: icon
Looking at their logo, I assumed the name was related to the hunting goddess, so this icon just had to be a quiver. It holds 7 arrows for good luck and is partially draped over to signify the app’s unfinished state, and as a nod to how the goddess herself is often depicted clothed in a flowing toga-type garment.

And since the current icon uses the pride flag as its background, I figured Artemis would definitely wear a pride pin on her quiver. And besides the original color scheme I also stumbled upon a fun-looking natural colorway. Plus a similarly cosy purple version :)
Here’s the logo alone, btw. Sorry I changed it a bit, but those two thinner lines weren’t working that well for the quiver piece imo.
@hariette, what do you think?
Urban Details: icon
So this one took the most time. You have no idea how many different buildings and road arrangements I went through :)

It’s meant for a community that I started which aims to celebrate various interesting details about cities, from tiny local Easter eggs to city-encompassing infrastructure projects. Just stuff that makes life either better or more fun.
The icon turned out to have some serious /fuckcars vibe, but I guess it fits well enough. I got a few interesting lighting setups while experimenting with the model, so I included a night scene as well.

3D Modeling: icon
I made a quick icon for this community the last time, but had a better idea and had to try it out. I think it encompasses the topic way better than before.
@lavender, I summon thee to check out the updated icon :)
Want one?
Again, if you’re the owner of a kbin community and would like to have a similar icon, comment here to discuss it. I’m mostly making these during my free time on weekends, so I probably won’t be able to make more than a couple pieces a week in the future.
I commented below to have some of the icons displayed inline, so that you don’t have to click every link. Is that more convenient? Let me know if it clutters the comments and I should delete those.
Urban Details
Would it be a stupid idea to use a transparent background for these? At least for this one I feel like it would stand out more in the sidebar of @UrbanDetails had the background been transparent (maybe with a drop shadow for light themes) rather than white. :)
They are actually rendered with a transparent background, but since they all have specific lighting setups they often look weird when placed on an inverted bg colo. So I kinda like them better this way. But I’ll look into it, maybe you’re right.
I agree that the logos themselves look better like this, but when used in the sidebar I feel like they integrate better with the site when using a transparent background. Also doesn’t look too off to me with the bright building on a dark background. :)
You know what. You’re right, these work. Updated my communities and will upload other icons on transparent background in a bit
