So a few years ago I drew a header image for the Seattle board on Reddit: “Snoo”, Reddit’s mascot, wrapped up in a scarf, drinking coffee.

After a while it got tweaked to be in the average colors of all of Seattle’s sports teams.

Today I got a username mention notification: the Seattle subreddit has redesigned, and people are debating if the new generic “material design” Snoo head is a suitable replacement for the old hipster Snoo.

Said hipster Snoo seemes to be loved enough that the new SeattleWA subreddit’s header contains someone’s traceover of it. This made me pretty happy to see!

So I decided to knock out a new one:

high res, transparent high res, transparent, no coffee radiance

I drew this new version of the little guy in about a half hour. And now I get to decide if I want to offer it for the old Seattle subreddit, or the new SeattleWA one – there’s a whole bunch of drama around really aggressive mods using the Seattle subreddit to promote their own businesses and delete a lot of local event posts and whatnot. If you mention the new subreddit your comment will probably get deleted and you’ll get banned. Which is really just kinda shitty. Dunno.
