couple of days ago someone was complaining about that old “new” logo (just some chibi anime girl in a trench coat) didn’t really fit the sub and a bunch of people agreed. so now the mods are changing it again
I have to agree. Option two looks more like “be the sniper” option one feels like it fits the name better. What if he was pointing the gun at the viewer and then you add the targeting over it so it looks like two snipers looking back at one another?
I think it should be one, the sniper is the one who’s supposed to be hiding. In the second one, the one hiding is BEING sniped. That doesn’t make sense
The first one conveys a hidden sniper. The second one conveys that we are the sniper. We’re not supposed to be the hidden sniper, we’re finding what is hidden: “the sniper”.
happy compromise would be the second one, but with a scoped rifle pointed directly at the camera POV as well.
Would keep the visually distinctive scope pattern people associate with snipers while also remaining true to the spirit of the sub.
Yeah I completely agree. I went with the second option because I find myself being the sniper finding the object most of the time and with option 2 showing the sniper crosshair over the cute guy hiding in the bushes I feel that matches my experience 99% of the time here.
Though I agree that the first option makes sense to the sub’s name. Option 2 fits the experience within the sub perfectly in my opinion.

Edit: the people saying it doesn’t make sense because you’re trying to find a sniper (rather than sniping lil guy in the bushes) are right.
But 2 still looks visually better, and gets the point across well enough to quickly remember what sub you’re in. That’s good enough for me.
I’m wondering if you used a binocular overlay instead of the sniper overlay on 2 it would satisfy both camps.
Eg:
https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/2211-m01-i006-n009-f-c07-2052171740-binoculars-view-spy-pov-optical-binocular-aim-gm1451118201-487865468
Either way, I like 2 more than 1 as well.
Everyone here who doesn’t have a design background should remember, or learn, that the design process should never be overly influenced by the rigid or literal. Whatever looks best should come out on top for this use case.
Which is #2 imo.
Wow I had to scroll so far to find someone who agrees 1 is better. I just think it looks aesthetically so much better / has a more interesting composition and also matches the name of the sub better (we are finding the sniper)
I prefer option 2; it looks cleaner. Even though the sub is called “find the sniper,” adding an actual gun feels distracting from the general vibe of the sub.
What is this? The mods listened and changed their minds in favor of the people? Bravo m8
It's just the "r/" logo for me
couple of days ago someone was complaining about that old “new” logo (just some chibi anime girl in a trench coat) didn’t really fit the sub and a bunch of people agreed. so now the mods are changing it again
Also I tried adding in camo but it messes with the visibility of the snoo, especially on mobile. Keeping it simple, I guess.
Option 2 100%
We all know it's in the middle anyways
But isn’t it “find the sniper” and not “be a sniper and find some random guy hiding in bushes?”
Snipers also hunt other snipers…
Oftentimes after mating the female sniper will eat the male.
But the snoo is us.
But without the crosshairs
>messes with the visibility of the snoo I mean... Isn't that the point? What about a solid green?
Yes I get the irony lol
Like others, I like option 2 but either one is leagues better than that anime chibi girl detective with the magnifying glass.
But then the sniper is you
I have to agree. Option two looks more like “be the sniper” option one feels like it fits the name better. What if he was pointing the gun at the viewer and then you add the targeting over it so it looks like two snipers looking back at one another?
What about the sniper in the crosshairs?
Tried it, but it became way too crowded and unclear as a small icon!
Definitely option 2 (more hidden, sans rifle)
Option 2 but add berries to the bush to make the eyes “blend” in more
Oh my god I love this idea so much! But even if not, still definitely number 2
PLEASE
The berries idea would def help hide snoo
Yessssss 👏🏽
Yes add the berries this is excellent idea
Yeah to truly capture the spirit of the sub, the sniper needs to be more hidden than it is.
Def agree with #2 and no rifle
I think it should be one, the sniper is the one who’s supposed to be hiding. In the second one, the one hiding is BEING sniped. That doesn’t make sense
I thought it made sense in a "the one hiding is being sniped because we did manage to find the sniper" kind of way
The first one conveys a hidden sniper. The second one conveys that we are the sniper. We’re not supposed to be the hidden sniper, we’re finding what is hidden: “the sniper”.
Counter-sniping would require finding the hidden sniper.
happy compromise would be the second one, but with a scoped rifle pointed directly at the camera POV as well. Would keep the visually distinctive scope pattern people associate with snipers while also remaining true to the spirit of the sub.
Add glint that obscure the rifle
I think it would be perfect if the scope sights were taken away and Snoo was put in a ghilie suit.
Got to snip the snipper sometimes.
i second this
[удалено]
Option 2 agreed! I do think the crosshair strokes could get a little thicker so they’re more visible on a thumbnail.
Second option is my favorite. The rifle adds a little too much and takes away from the cuteness imo
Yea but the name of the Reddit is find the sniper. Not shoot the guy in the bushes
Yeah I completely agree. I went with the second option because I find myself being the sniper finding the object most of the time and with option 2 showing the sniper crosshair over the cute guy hiding in the bushes I feel that matches my experience 99% of the time here. Though I agree that the first option makes sense to the sub’s name. Option 2 fits the experience within the sub perfectly in my opinion.
I think they should be combined, like we’re counter sniping other snipers.
Sniper vs. Sniper
Can we put the sniper in the crosshairs?
The point of finding a sniper is so you can take them out before they get you. I’d say second one with the rifle
We are on reddit finding the sniper. So the reddit logo reflects us, and this is the view from the sniper that we are looking for.
2 Edit: the people saying it doesn’t make sense because you’re trying to find a sniper (rather than sniping lil guy in the bushes) are right. But 2 still looks visually better, and gets the point across well enough to quickly remember what sub you’re in. That’s good enough for me.
To be fair, snipers are also looking for other snipers.
There you go! Problem solved!
OP could still have the Snoo with a rifle, but hidden.
Yeah the second one! The less you see the more danger of the unknown lurks!
2 because its more aesthetically pleasing and because the page does say "(x amount of people) sniping" so the crosshairs from our perspective do work
Yo that actually makes a lot of sense!

I don’t think i have ever seen a community agree on something as much as they agree on 2 being the better option
Ikr, I guess the ones who argued about the sniper POV are the minority after all
I’m wondering if you used a binocular overlay instead of the sniper overlay on 2 it would satisfy both camps. Eg: https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/2211-m01-i006-n009-f-c07-2052171740-binoculars-view-spy-pov-optical-binocular-aim-gm1451118201-487865468 Either way, I like 2 more than 1 as well.

Option 2 for sure *edit for spelling.
Option 2. Option 1 looks more like a literal Reddit group about snipers

No Snoo, no crosshair, no gun, just leaves. Then claim there is definitely a Snoo there.
Option 2, even though I kinda like the first one
I like option #2 - also it is way better than the anime one that nobody knew they could vote on.
Option 2

Option 2, without the rifle!
2 100%
It seems extreme for a sub dedicated to pictures of carpet and sand.
Imagine using a rifle scope to find wedding rings and SD cards
Option 2 please! Just feels better and it's what the "object" looks like when we are searching for it 🤣
option 2 cus it shows that were actually looking for it
I like option 2 because it feels like it fits the spirit of the sub more, since we’re searching for something/someone.
Option 2. The one without the rifle.

2 looks better but 1 makes more sense for the sub
i would’ve said mix them both because you’re “finding the sniper” but i like the 2nd one and agree that it’s cuter just like that

2, more relevance to the sub.

Option 2 is better

I like the second one more, the rifle makes it too obvious that somethings there and the second is adorable
2. The point of this sub is to find the sniper, not for the sniper to shoot you.
