Hey @k00b
I really like the cowboy hat thing it's good idea.
But have you thought about branding consistency? The logo of StackerNews is ”electricity”, the name StackerNews is like HackerNews which has an oldschool 00s Internet simplicity association, all errors have the Alice in Wonderland branding and the cowboy hats are something else again.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it doesn't have to be 1 thing. Just a thing to be aware of in the future. 🙄
Anyways, cheers 🍻
Yeah I know. Going to have to pick a lane

It's good to intentionally consider mix of really contrasting worlds. The contrast can have an effect of surprise, the variance sparks new ideas, etc. And it's important to also have fun with all of this in the end.
But again, it's good to be intentional about this and not overdo it - I'd say mix of at most 2 styles is a good rule of thumb. One style for everything and one style to complement it to surprise and delight.

Nah SN eccentricity is part of the charm. Sure if you want to turn it into a huge media brand you will have to streamline but for what it is, it's great. Direct messages would be awesome though.
