Sorry for coming up late to this topic. I very much like the idea and your proposals.
What about turning this into a poll and define a timeline for users to vote for one of proposals?

[simonsan]

I'm thinking, maybe we should make a call for participation on that one, so others are also proposing their ideas and know about it? I'm sure that there need to be better ones that these generated ones.

The first one's style rocks! What's your prompt?

Opinion:

I find the crustacean a little evil-looking in many of the proposals.

Ferris is not part of the Rust trademark and can be used. How about using ferris rather than an anonymous or even evil looking crab?

Prompt

rust crab ferris, umbrella, huge claws, rain, background trees, cozy, simple, vector --no shading detail --v 5

"Evil looking":

And I agree, they are all not totally what I wanted. Just wanted to give some material to get going. ;)

P.S.: Hello, fellow Berliner :)

[simonsan]

I wanted to imitate the restic logo with a Rust one, if that was unclear:

There might be better results possible by using ChatGPT to let it generate a prompt for Midjourney (as absurd as it sounds 😅 ):

Prompt: In a heartwarming vector illustration, Ferris, Rust's cherished mascot, finds solace under an umbrella. Rain envelops the scene, but Ferris remains untouched, its massive claws gripping the umbrella's handle. The crab's friendly eyes and cheerful demeanor radiate warmth, making it the focal point amidst the rain. Behind Ferris, the forest stands majestic, its dense canopy adding depth and texture to the scene. The droplets on the trees and the wet ground only accentuate the feeling of a rainy day. Yet, amidst this, the composition offers a profound sense of security, making one feel sheltered just like Ferris. --v 5.2 (generated by ChatGPT-Midjourney-Prompt-Generator)

The prompt alone is such poetry. 😺

[simonsan]

Which one of these do you prefer?

[aawsome]

I like those friendly-looking crabs much more! The first one is my personal favorite.

General, e.g. readme?

This would be my proposal for now to be merged. If something better pops up, we can change easily.
