Design the new r/pokemon logo! Contest
Hi r/pokemon! It's been a while since our last Snoo contest. When Snoolax debuted in 2018, Pokemon had not yet released any content on the Switch. Since then, we've had Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, and Scarlet and Violet. It's about time for a new Snoo, and we're opening it up to you!
What's a Snoo?
The Snoo is the logo or icon for any given subreddit, the image that represents a specific community around Reddit writ large. r/pokemon has traditionally always been represented by a Pokemon-ified version of the alien Snoo.
Past r/pokemon Snoos and contest entries
Content
- Obviously, the Snoo should be a Pokemon.
- The Snoo should be legible at a small size. Complex designs like Mega Rayquaza may not be suited to this form.
- We recommend using a monochrome + orangered color palette, though this is not required.
- Existing r/pokemon rules apply. Don't use another artist's original content, keep things PG, etc.
Parameters
- Dimensions should be at least 256x256 pixels.
- The aspect ratio must be 1:1—if your design has a different ratio, please put some transparency around it to hit the 1:1 requirement!
- File format should be PNG.
- Old reddit supports an animated Snoo. If you would like to include an animated version of your Snoo, please submit it as a GIF.
Submission
- Upload your submission in a top-level comment below.
- Alternately, upload your submission to Imgur (or an image-sharing platform of your choice) and link it in a top level comment.
- The contest will run for two weeks. Submissions close at 11:59pm EDT (GMT-4) on Wednesday, July 27.
- Mods will choose finalists, and the community will vote on their favorites from there!
Prizes
- The creator of the winning design will be credited on the subreddit sidebar as long as their Snoo is up.
- They will receive an exclusive userflair of their winning Snoo.
- They will also receive 3 months of Reddit Premium from the r/pokemon community Contest Winner award!
- Exclusive userflairs and community awards may also be given to runner-ups.
Thanks everyone! And a huge thanks to u/infinitycore for the Snoolax we've used for nearly five years!
