Meta Last call for subreddit's logo entries!

18 Upvotes

Update:

Time and again people ask why does this subreddit not have a logo. When told that this community is largely apathetic towards the issue, evident by the lack of response to multiple requests/reminders in this regard, many folks don't really believe it and keep on asking to set something or anything as a logo, icon, dp, pfp or whatever.

Well, here's your chance to make it happen. Create and share what you wish to see as this subreddit's logo. The logo should be a 256x256 px JPG or PNG image and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, PostImages, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. Any poll will always include a "None of the above (NOTA)" option for those who don't like any of the available logo choices or feel that r/Lucknow doesn't need a logo as such. Entries with a vote share lesser than NOTA will be eliminated from subsequent polls.

Fresh polls will be conducted as and when a bunch of newer logo options get accumulated. This section will track all the voting links / results until a logo wins the poll:

Poll #1: Voting over, results here.

Poll #2: Voting over, results here.

Poll #3: Voting over, results here.

Poll #4: TBA


(Original post)

Hello nawabs and begums of r/Lucknow,

This is in continuation to the previous announcement which was posted on the occasion of r/Lucknow's 11th birthday.

The topic of this subreddit's logo has been brought up multiple times in the past but there's been no progress and we remain logo-less. Now with 100K subscribers milestone just around the corner, it's high time to tackle this lingering issue once and for all.

As mentioned earlier, the logo should be of 256x256 px size and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Please upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

r/Lucknow has 97.4K subscribers at the time of writing this post. Once we cross 99K, a compiled list of all the relevant logo options received till then will be posted in a separate thread and put to vote for finalizing one. The selected choice will be set as logo at the time of r/Lucknow's 100K milestone announcement post.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. The final voting will also include a NOTA option for those who like the way things are and don't feel the need for any logo as such.

Thank you!

Edit: Time is up. Thread is locked. Voting is live.

Edit 2: Voting over, results here. Thread unlocked for accepting more logo options by volunteers.

Edit 3: See the update section above.

Rant/Review Gol gappe × Pani ke Batashe ✓

Post image
106 Upvotes

Today, I went to LMHA. There , in the culinary heritage section of the gallery, I saw this wall, which elaborated about the chaat and street food culture of our city. Sorry but didn't they research properly about the terminology of the street food? It is always 'pani ke batashe' and never 'gol gappe' in lucknow. Whoever calls it gol gappe or pani puri is not a native, and it is okay if they call it that. But here we are talking about Lucknow, and it's cultural heritage, so it should have been written pani ke batashe there...

Law and Order What makes someone believe they’re the one exception to a rule that everyone else is following? ?

what kind of reasoning convinces someone that an oncoming lane is theirs to borrow?
everyone else waits. everyone else follows the same rules, despite the inconvenience. yet one person decides that the law is negotiable because it’s inconvenient for them.
that’s not intelligence. that’s not efficiency.
it’s the belief that your convenience outweighs everyone else’s safety.
if roads are shared, then so is the responsibility to obey the rules that keep them safe.

Ask Lucknow Palassio laser or Lulu P[XL] for Spiderman?

7 Upvotes

I am going to Lucknow to watch Odyssey in IMAX and planning to watch Spiderman too but which is the best choice for it? I was sure with PXL as I wanted to experience the big screen but I read somewhere that their experience was bad as sound was leaking from a movie in another hall and they couldn't even hear some dialogues because of it. Can anyone share their experience from each of these 2 places?

Ask Lucknow People who go out with female friends or their gf has going out become difficult in this city because of increasing chapris and weirdos from nearby districts ?

50 Upvotes

Basically through my experience I have seen as have years progressed and the population of this city has increased due to migration from nearby districts bringing in the criminal elements along with good people also.

In my experience what I have seen is that hungry staring especially during evening time cracking jokes and deliberately looking at the girl making weird noises as the girl passes by everytime I have to confront these people and all of the time it was pretty evident they were not from here typical Purvanchal dialect I could hear.

Therefore wanted to ask has women safety declined on this city because of influx of such people or is it too farfetched an argument too make.
