Presenting a fediverse icon EVERYONE in the fediverse can use!
Social icons on a website (or I2P eepsite) are often important to communicate where else we exist online. Previously, fedizens were left with two choices; use an inaccurate or deceptive icon based on a specific type of fediverse server, or a gaudy icon with negative connotations. Most chose the former, elevating one implementation of the social network, at the expense of ALL others. It created a false impression of fediverse's topology and had a negative effect on the fediverse generally.
Since Feb 2021, a supporters group in collaboration with FreedCreative and others, worked on a Fediverse icon. This is the result of much feedback, review and iteration.
This icon pack, called "#fediOrigami", is based on an origami boat turned on its side. The overlapping, semi-transparent "folds" are their own entities, but interact with each other to form an 'F' and also create a silhouette of part of a star. A star being an homage to the previous but seldom-used icon design (a connected five pointed star).

(NOTE: SVG icons are Plain SVG but have yet to be properly optimised. The Scour (v0.31) export feature in Inkscape is broken. That project is hosted on MicrosoftGH (https://github.com/scour-project/scour) and our graphic designer was not interested in contacting a Microsoft user.
