After 9 days, the upvotes and downvotes are tied so nothing changes for now, but we can revisit later.

Personally, I'd prefer organic growth rather than reposting stuff from Reddit.

Spread the word about the sub!

Interesting comments all round. Let's run with the discussion for a week to allow infrequent visitors a chance to comment and then see if there's a strong trend towards a specific opinion.

The call for designs was open for weeks. This is what came in.

I'm plesantly surprised at the number of voters. I went with this format, instead of what you suggest or a third party voting site, thinking there would only be a handful of replies!

Apologies - things got a bit delayed. I'm now talking to Davide about a poll for a new icon.

Dunno if these guides for setting up the software under Wine will help - I'll have to try it sometime.

SolderSnoo has gone and there's a placeholder until we get a new icon.

Thanks all. I'll leave it a week and then gather the submissions for a poll.

PLEASE ADD YOUR ICON DESIGNS TO THIS POST, INCLUDING ONES YOU HAVE POSTED IN OTHER PLACES.

You'll need to speak to electrical folks. We're electronic engineers - quite different.

Yeah, it's initially to flag the relationship between here and there. I agree it has to go and I have already mentioned this to Davide.

I saw a few faces peering in the windows of r/electronics as I drove out of the car park having just locked up to head over here. Glad you found your way over.

Well, I've closed the windows, turned off the lights and locked the door over at r/askelectronics (sub is now private). Let's see how this unfolds...
