Artemis might use a swipe gesture to visually hint at the relation between upvoting and boosting, as shown in the main animation. Here's a static app mockup with both swipe levels displayed. I'd also imagine that there should be a setting that auto-upvotes posts when boosting.

I heard that votes have been changed to behave closer to how people would expect, and boost is staying here as well. So I had an idea how to bring it all together in the interface.

Sidenote: you don't have to click the links here, the images are also posted inline in the comments below.

An app (either Artemis or an official one) might use a swipe gesture to visually hint at the relation between upvoting and boosting, as shown in the attached animation. Here's a static app mockup with both swipe levels displayed. I'd also imagine that there should be a setting that auto-upvotes posts when boosting.

And on the web, it's probably a good idea to consolidate all the voting buttons into a single block by adding an additional button at the top.

Edit: I’m disappointed in you guys. How come no one noticed the memes? :)

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.

Hi everyone. This is a place to notice and celebrate stuff that cities do right. Here, you can post anything from your own photos of some interesting findings around the world to articles discussing future urbanism projects.

I’ve compiled a list of some examples of the content I think fits in this community, and I’m open to your suggestions and ideas on how we can improve the ruleset going forward.

Urban Infrastructure
Bike lanes, pedestrian paths, green tram ways, and all other useful or innovative urban development
Examples: Amsterdam bike infrastructure, Barcelona superblocks or Reykjavik heated sidewalks

Public Spaces
Unique chillout zones, interesting parks, unusual equipment at children's playgrounds or public space design in general
Examples: Stockholm metro, Superkilen Park Copenhagen, Archimedes screw playground thing

City Lighting
Anything from streetlights or bollard lights to facade lighting setups that bring something unique to city nights
Examples: An article about lighting, a random Pinterest board

Street Furniture
Unique or interesting outdoor furniture pieces found in public spaces, be they simply modern, beautiful, or unusually comfortable
Examples: Random related Pinterest board

City Easter Eggs
Small or hidden details in the city, like tiny statues or architectural elements that might be easily missed
Examples: Pac-Man cutouts, Lemmings statues

Successful Accessibility Projects
Effective solutions for accessibility, such as sidewalk ramps, urban navigation totems, braille-annotated 3D representations of various POIs, tactile paths, etc.
Examples: Tactile Last Supper, wayfinding totems

Architectural Details
Special elements in building design, be they part of historic architecture or something totally modern. So pictures of anything from the gothic architecture to Zaha Hadid’s futurism work.

Urban Art and Murals
Vibrant and unique expressions of street art, from large murals to small artistic details
Examples: Space Invader graffiti, city murals

Let see some urban goodness!

The icon is designed as a hypothetically producible piece of jewelry, except that the corners — those tiny semi-spheres that hold the gems — are a bit larger to accommodate the icon's scale. The piece has a partially open back to allow for more light to reach the gems. That makes them look prettier both in renders and irl.

The model was created in Rhino and later welded and polished in ZBrush to make it appear closer to how it would look in real life.

So I 3D modelled two icons (well, illustrations rather) for the communities that I created on kbin: Industrial Design and Jewelry Design. These icons are meant to reimagine kbin’s logo in a way that's relevant to each community.

Btw, as a feature request, I think it might be cool to separate the banner on a magazine's page from the mini-icon that shows up in listings. Also, inline images should be a thing, I think.

Industrial Design: icon
This icon is just an assortment of various gizmos and whatchamacallits that seemed to fit the shape. It was modelled in Rhino and rendered in Keyshot. The model uses curvature continuity, just like any self-respecting grown-up model would.

Jewelry Design: icon
This icon is designed as a hypothetically producible piece of jewelry, except that the corners — those tiny semi-spheres that hold the gems — are a tiny bit larger than usual to accommodate the icon's scale. The piece has a partially open back — a common practice in jewelry design — to allow for more light to reach the gems. That makes them look prettier both in renders and irl.

Creating these was a lot of fun, so I'm open to making a few more. If you're the owner of a magazine and would like to have a similar icon, comment here to discuss it. I'll be creating these during my free time on weekends, so I probably won't be able to make more than a couple pieces a week though.
