24 alternatives to Logo tip - I used unicode characters for our logo.
Hi, I'm learning to keep things simple. I'm on startup no. 2 and have just put up a sign-up and twitter page. For the twitter page I needed a profile pic or logo of some sort so I've hacked together a little logo using unicode characters. Have a look: https://twitter.com/#!/TheSuperOwl I think it looks quite cute, it's a temporary thing until we get a designer on board. The 2 founders are not designers (product person & developer) so we don't want this to hold us back with getting things going. It's quite fun - I think we can play around with the unicode characters in the meantime. For…

I’m building a Unicode reference where each symbol has its own dev-friendly page with all relevant encodings. Example: [https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to](https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to) Includes Unicode, HTML, CSS, JS, UTF-8/16 bytes, URL encoding, and usage examples. The same structure is used across thousands of symbols (math, arrows, currency, tech/UI, punctuation). Built because existing references are fragmented. Feedback welcome.

Hey there Some time ago I built a site that generates AI pictures in a style of GitHub logo (https://octoart.vercel.app/). It's completely free, and even official GitHub accounts in Twitter and Instagram (yes turns out they have Instagram) posted about it. It was fun. So I thought it would be cool to build an app that works with any logo, so people can generate nice branded pictures with their logo. I went on to build https://logopictureai.com/. It's build with Next.js, Replicate API and Supabase. It's a very early version, I built it in a weekend. It works like…

Brat Generator▲122I have always been curious about how the fancy text styles on social media work. After researching Unicode characters, I started developing my own tool to convert simple text into fancy styles. Although I have created other similar tools, I believe this one is my best work. Similar tools exist, but they’re usually packed with annoying ads and pop-ups, have clunky interfaces, offer limited styles, and don’t make it clear that these fonts are for casual use, and not for situations where accessibility is a concern. I’ve tried to fix all these issues, and I’d love to hear your feedback!

Conventional logos are perfectly consistent everywhere: the same proportions, spacing, colors, every time. I wanted to try something that goes against this corporate uniformity and come up with a logo system that can be individualized but is still recognizable as the company’s logo. The final implementation is heavily inspired by IDEO, where internal teams could choose slightly different versions of the logo by rearranging the letters within a grid. I also wondered about allowing logos to be put in bold so I added that functionality. The last motivation was practical. I get asked for…

Last night I had a stupid idea, and wanted to check if it is technically possible. Well, it is! In a nutshell: Emoji support for your website's URLs. yourwebsite.com/contact - booring yourwebsite.com/:phoneemoji: - cool! So I wrote a nodejs middleware that offers emoji support for your API, with 2 lines of code. (well if you count the installation 3 lines) Here's the project: https://www.npmjs.com/package/slashemoji I currently have support for the /contact and /about routes. Can you give me some ideas of what other URLs to cover, and what emojis to…

Hi HN, Unicode “cursive” and script-style fonts are widely used on social platforms, but many of them silently break depending on where they’re pasted — some render as tofu, some get filtered, and others display inconsistently across platforms. I built a small web tool that explores this problem from a compatibility-first angle: Instead of just converting text into cursive Unicode characters, the tool: • Generates multiple cursive / script variants based on Unicode blocks • Evaluates how safe each variant is across major platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Discord, etc.) • Explains why…

I'm an indie dev and I built a community for creators to get together and collaborate with each other. Mostly for amateur creators, but some famous ones use it as well. It has about 700k users so far. There are about 100k of those users who don't bother to upload an avatar, so they've had a boring default avatar for nearly 7 years. Today, I used my credits on DallE to do make them a bit more fun. Since the creators self-identify, I was able to create specific kinds of avatars for them. For example, if a creator is a writer, my DallE prompt would be: "an oil painting portrait of a…

Hi HN, I built EmojiSymbolsCopy.com because I was constantly searching for a simple, ad-free place to grab emojis, symbols, and text art for messages, docs, and social posts.

The site lets you: Browse a large, organized library of emojis, symbols, kaomoji, and text decorations Instantly copy any item with a single click (or tap) Use it freely, with no login or popups I’ve spent a lot of time refining the search and category organization, but I know there’s more to…
