My point is that you can't fix the problems I'm identifying with the right graphics. The Atmosphere is "faceless" because it's not something you open up an app for and use. it's something you may sign in to and interface with 0.1% of the time that you're using atmosphere apps

today, I agree. I don't think it's impossible to identify the glue of the social internet as its own thing. my guess is that it could grow from more tangible branding. eg people have an idea of what the internet is and identify it with symbols like 🌐 the atmosphere is capable of the same recognition

For anyone that has come to a meetup, event, or conference - it’s not faceless. As a community, our goal is to imbue the Atmosphere with feelings and alignment. Designing a logo and brand that grows to mean that is something we need to do together. No one company can carry our flag.

I don't mean to invalidate that feeling but you must realize that the proportion of people attending events is 0.0001% of the userbase. I'm not saying you absolutely shouldn't do a brand-neutral login but I am going to push you to consider all options.
