Made this piece based on the [logo](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/more-logo-explorations/142) and one of my other [color choices from the color picker](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/sourcecred-color-exploration/292/21) @decentralion made.

Inspirations include Dark Star, and Eclipse.

Love this! When publishing the podcast, I was actually thinking that the two images I used were great, but that I didn’t want to reuse them and there weren’t any other images that worked…This image could work in a lot of places. Kind of has a dark, edgy feel to it…Reminded me of that movie Event Horizon.

We now have a dark star emoji! :darkstar:

Just type `:darkstar:` in any Discourse comment 🙂

Thats cool!

Maybe we could change the emoji to make it circular, i.e. slice away everything outside of the light halo surrounding the graph? Given how small :darkstar: is, I think cutting away the edges and making it a clean circle will make it more legible.

Yeah that would be awesome. The emoji creator just takes in an image and correlates that with text so a new emoji would require a new picture. If @LB wants to create one that’s a circle with a transparent background then we can update the `:darkstar:` emoji.

I can make that happen with very little effort. I’ll put it on my list. 🙂

Just wanted to give a shout out to this image as it’s a way cooler background image than the regular logo. Also, fun fact, the image uploaded to Discourse is high res. Yay 🙂

Here ya go! The first interview with @decentralion is a good intro. #2 with @mzargham gives a good perspectives on the algorithm, social science. #3 with @wchargin is a good deep dive into the evolution from the engineering perspective.
