Your idea is interesting! But I don't think parentheses alone are enough to make it clear that this is a symbol that refers to something. Image it on a footer of a website, it could be easy to confuse it for spurious/missing characters. So it doen't seem very memorable.

When I see the brackets I think of one of n B2B silicon valley AI and/or surveillance startups. Maybe nostr has an icon and brand to cater to developers, and by extension a disparate brand or icon for consumers or end users. The dev facing brand or logo should highlight nostr’s: 1) permissionless nature 2) FOSS 3) network effects squared 4) bonus points relays architecture I don’t see bracket as a consumer brand or logo. For consumer facing I enjoy @mbarulli gonzo ostrich. cc @🐈 @Roberto @npub1a7n2...vfnu
I absolutely appreciate that you’re looking for something this isn’t doing for you. But in response to these particular misgivings: I’m not sure share icons are ever used out of context, or even alone, in that way…. But to offer another perspective for a moment: if it were to become established, it might be precisely that open familiarity and adaptability that could be strikingly distinct and useful… perhaps even as a [ ] text emoji link if necessary…
