#snacAnnounces #FrugalFediverse
Hi, @andy@snac.lostoutpost.uk . I think I haven't talked about Susie 
, #snac 's default icon, before.
When I started developing snac, I realized I needed a default icon to show for those accounts that lacked an avatar, similar to the outlined elephant Mastodon has. Given the minimalistic nature of the software, I thought that having a heavily-pixelated one, even 8-bit-like, was a perfect match.
So, I started designing one, inspired by singer/composer Siouxsie Sioux, whom I'm a big fan of. I've done some pixelart before, but was not totally satisfied, so I asked a friend with more artistic skills, who did some tweaks, and I was finally happy with it.
Also, it's said that all cool software must have some easter eggs; so, Susie looks somewhat different sometimes, and once a year, in a special day, she looks very different. Easter eggs are like jokes and if you explain them they lose their power, so I'm leaving it here.
