My eye sight is getting worse everyday people.

This is mostly a light hearted post to give the community something low stakes to discuss and decide on.

Maybe there won't be any interest, or maybe we have a lot of ideas for icons and even banners?

You might have done this judging by the red coloring of some of them, but did you try something like "athenian red-figure pottery" since apparently that's what it's called?

yes pretty close, here are some of the prompts I tried :

  • a brightly-lit red figure hydria. It's painted with an image of the satisfied seal meme.

  • a brightly-lit ancient greek amphora. It depicts the satisfied seal meme

  • the satisfied seal meme painted on the side of a brightly lit red figure hydria.

If you have any ideas feel free to post up 2 or 3 prompts and I will try them (for as long as my credits allow)

How about we get rid of the pottery try to keep it simple

  • A tondo in the Athenian red-figure style depicting a seal
  • A tondo in the Athenian red-figure style depicting the satisfied seal meme
  • An Athenian red-figure depiction of a seal
  • An Athenian red-figure depiction of the satisfied seal meme

If it comes back with like governmental or organizational type seals, then maybe we switch "seal" to "pinniped". Or "Mediterranean monk seal", which is apparently (one of?) the type(s) of seal around Greece.

Or that doesn't work, I don't know. I'm not versed in AI image creation so I don't know what limits you have or what works and doesn't work.

I seem to have run out of fast generations because my requests are being throttled, but here are a few I got

It's really unfortunate that this one is so doglike

This one is the best of the rest imo

I also like this one, personally, but it's not good for the community

What are your thoughts?

I am too partial to the goofy ones tbh. I think you're right about the 'best of the rest' option, shame the tail part of the seal is kinda wonky
