I’m trying to add icons to the communities I moderate, and Libre Culture has been a difficult one. Libre culture is more than just open source, and more than even free (libre) software as it includes hardware too, plus non-tech stuff. It’s an ideology, one that to my knowledge doesn’t have a generally accepted symbol. I’ve been trying to find an icon that encompasses all of Libre culture, but have been unsuccessful, so I’m asking for help.

Can you recommend an icon that you think effectively represents all of Libre culture? It can either be an existing one from the internet or custom made. My main requirements are that it not be inappropriate, indecent or offensive (should go without saying), and that it be licensed under a libre license, like creative commons.

Feel free to comment your suggestions!

      Libre cultue actually doesn’t have much to do with being free as in cost. It’s main concern is free as in freedom.

      I know this comment was a joke, but I wanted to clarify this for people who don’t know.

          Yeah, kind of, it’s because Spanish differentiates between “gratis” (free as in beer) of “libre” (free as in freedom).

            Fun fact: AFAIK most other languages have a distinction between free as in freedom and free as in beer.
